What is luxury and what is sport? Sport is driving performance. Luxury means any option that adds comfort and convenience. Compared to other cars, I don't think an e60 is considered a luxury for the price. I can get more luxury for less price in a Toyota, VW, or Nissan. I don't think the e60 is considered a luxury like MB or Lexus. It's more of a drving performance, and that's what I bought and e60 for, driving performance and looks.
What do you think?

Well, a bit of all.
I love the look of the car, its design, the comfort/luxury of it (with all those features making your drive an experience) and mainly the sporty drive...
It's a thrilling car and I am happy to own one. After seeing the first spy pics of the F10 I think I will keep it for a long time.

sport and Lucury. Looks came in 2nd place.
If u get a fully loaded e60 and a fully loaded toyota i doubt u will say that the toyota is more luxurious. The Bmw feels solid and drives with diligence. The Toyota feels like it will drive for centuries so far as u dont thrash it.
Still very different class of car. If u want to talk about value for money,.. well thats maybe another story. Until u bring in Taste ,...

I bought it for its ride/ handling balance and economy/ performance ratio. For these it was and, indeed still is, unbeatable. It isn't particularly sporty in 2.0 Litre Diesel guise!

If I wanted Luxury and plush interior, I would have bought a Lexus. I am into performance and looks. I have to admit, luxury is not a bad thing and BMW could use some touchups in the interior department.

My Ride: E61 535d Apr 05. UK spec + Media Pack, Luxury Pack & Visibility Pack
Slight cheat - I have an E61, but I certainly don't regard it as a "luxury" car (a 7 series maybe).
