Luckily for me, I'm not to concerned about image or brand.? I prefer BMW, but I could easily be happy in something else as long as it puts a smile on my face.? Whatever I choose, I will eventually come back to BMW, guaranteed.

[/quote]Well, if you were in the states I would point you to the Infiniti G35, but I doubt you can get those across the pond (for decent money anyways). Please report back on the ride of the e90 and good luck!

[/quote]I agree, a Ford Focus really misses the refinement a E60 has (probably the E90 as well)

My Ride: 2011 520dA coming up.
Just a pity, it will be hard to find another car as great as the 535d.
But once you realize that it is not your car, it'll be difficult to talk you out of that.
Maybe after a few years you realize that it was superb after all!
Good luck on finding a replacement...and a prospect to buy yours.

Wish there was an automatic trunk close or an easier way to close
But an electric shut would be cool!

My Ride: E60 530d Sport - Carbon Black, Black Dakota Leather, Media Pack (satnav, bluetooth, CD changer), heated font seats, through load
What about a BMW M3, or perhaps sign up for an Audi RS3. More sporty, and still some refinement.

...you can get a dragster out of your 535D, just leave it for few hours in the hands of a tuning center...than you will get the old smile back.Think about it before selling the car as a possible last option.
Good luck to find the best way for you.
