My Ride: alpine white 530d.exclusive leather,maple wood trim,comfort seats,active steering,xenons,18'alloys 124,steptronic,logic 7,ac-extended features,sunblind,side airbags
I know it's not fair to compare the e60 with the new seven.There are other cars like the e class and a6
which can be compared with it.But i am sure the e60 is far better than its rivals mentioned
above
.I ordered
a 530d with logic 7,comfort seats,m aero kit,active seats,active steering,bi xenon,automtic
transmission,pdc,sunblinds,ac with extended features and rf 124 style 18 inch.
One of my friends got a 730d basic without xenon,logic 7,comfort seats,active steering for the same price of
my 530d.
I love driving and hate to be driven by somebody else.do you think i made the right decision by ordering the
e60 or will i regret not buying the bigger seven.and will the 530d be faster,is it better to handle.how does
the seven handle and perform in comparison with the five.ok in short i want u guys to tell me which car is
better for me who loves driving around corners.thank you very much.

How old are you? If you're over 40, 7-series might be right for you. How old do you feel you are? If you feel like you're 20's, get E60 in a heart beat.
If you like plush ride, get 7. If you like agility and good handling, get 5.

7er without all these things is not good enuf.i would make the same decision as u and get the 535d.7 is too old for me and also too big.In terms of acceleration,my guess is that the 535 wuld be faster since its lighter.Hope it helps!

7er is a passenger car and the 5er is more of a driver's car. If I have a chauffer 7er of course but since I do my own driving 5er is definitely the better choice.

Get the E60 loaded... having a "better" car that has nothing isnt good. people will go WHAT you paid how much? and this is a top of the line BMW and you dont even have this and that and this? I hate those comments so better to have a better loaded car. My opinion...

I feel much better now.I am proud to be an e60 owner.I still wanna know the difference in performance between the two cars that is,0 - 62 etc.if they have the same engine.
