Just curious as to what the forum members considered before settling on the e60.
I'm interested to see what the real alternatives are.

OtherBMW/ Sports = E46 M3. When i bought the car, as it was configured, i could have gotten the E46 M3 SMG Competition Package.
Seems that might be the next move anyway in the future, 3 years or so.(E90)

My Ride: 2013 535i (White with Oyster Interior. Premium Package, Navigation, Technology Pacakge, Park Distance Control, and Rear View Camera)
My first choice was CLS500, but I can't afford to spend $75000 on a car yet, if I am single maybe I'll suck it up.
My second choice was 545i, I am so glad I didn't buy it (545i is a great car ), but I didn't know 550i is coming in 3 months after I purchased my 530i. If I bought a 545i, I'll be so upset.
530i is perfect for me. Great power, and much better gas mileage than the top 2.
Last choice was MB E-class, it's $8000 cheaper than e60. I really like this car also, no matter what you guys say, E class is very nice looking. Unfortunately the handling is no comparision to e60. All my perious cars are couples, handling is still important to me.
