Apology accepted!

Welcome to the Bimmer family!!

 

congrats and enjoy

 

my gf has the tl (which we drive frequently and love no doubt) and I just recently bought my 525i. hands down the 5series kills the tl in luxury and fun to drive. they don't call it the ultimate driving machine . Trust me, you'll love the bimmer over the acura. ....unless price of car and of upkeep/maintenance is a factor then go with the acura...the bimmer will slightly be a bit more financially but well worth it in my opinion if you can afford it. I like them both, have them both, but if it was down to one, go with the bimmer. hope that helps though I'm new to the forum I've been researching a long time and have had my car for 3 weeks with no regrets! ( but get it with the xenon's,...otherwise retrofit is gonna be pricey, which im just now learning).

 

Thanks all!

sorry I haven't been here in a few weeks (spending all my time on the e46 forums)

for those who asked, I got an '05 325ci Coupe with 39k miles (well, 41k now......lol), I also MADE sure I got a 5-speed manual (hard to find but worth it...........i'd post a picture but I don't want to violate protocol since this IS an E60 forum)

Man this thing is fun to drive, it's got this throaty rumble to it and a steering wheel "feel" that just cannot be duplicated

jmsod, my experience with the TL is similar to yours..........seemed like it had a lot of hp but it really had to be pushed in order to get it to go and the steering felt uninspiring to say the least. I never considered the 3s originally cos I thought they were too small

Sasq: yep bimmer mods are freaking pricey!

 

Smart choice and Congrats! Enjoy your bimmer!
