745 is the mac daddy mobile, but my lord. do a google search on "745 recalls" and see what turns up. it quadruples the complaints on this board. you'd have that thing in the shop every week. or more.

Yeah, if it wasn't an '02 I'd go with the 745.

If you *really* want a 745 you must consider getting a MY2004 or greater. The two previous model years may give you problems, extended warranty or not.

welcome PGODFAT

i would stay with the E60, the MY02 has many known issues and you dont want to get a big problem, plus they are refreshing the design and engines this spring so why get what will be an older looking car?

Welcome aboard, PGODFAT !

IMHO, if you want a sportier feel, stay with the 7.
I wouldn't trade a 5 for a 7.

You mean stay with the 5?

welcome aboard, pgodfat ! i agreed with all the posts above. i'd definitely stay with the 5. i guess most of the e60 buyers are more into the whole package than just luxurious. i personally think m.benz's interior looks better than and has more luxury features than our 5. but why did i get the 5? once again, driver's car and passenger's car. i think 5 is a better driver's car than the 7. so if i have my own chauffeur, i'd take a 7 or even a m.benz. but i don't and i'm not envy the ones who have chauffeur if they own a e60. they should fire the chauffeur and drive the babe themselves .
