If you want a better picture of the 7er, you should ask on a 7er board. This board is obviously biased to the 5er.

How old are you? If you're over 40, 7-series might be right for you.
Exccccccuse me!!! ~{;^)
How old do you feel you are?
If you feel like you're 20's, get E60 in a heart beat.
Ok, that's better.
If you like plush ride, get 7. If you like agility and good handling, get 5.
Get both and take care of all comparison issues.

Umm.... you spent too much time there?

Maybe you are teaching at a university in an area that does not pay well. Or, in general, maybe you are in a low paying area.
