Ok, so I just hit 55000 miles on my 2008 550i and thought I should consider another car or change.

So I drove an Acura TL AWD SH 6 speed, very disappointing. Nice car but thought it to be very numb and the clutch/transmission were very unconnected. Then I drove the C350 and what a cheap looking car on the inside not to mention the ride quality. I then drove the E350, nice car and really like the lines but the drive was simply boring, I still need to test drive the e550 but not expecting much.

I guess I'll have to suffer with my 550i for another year or two till the new e60 comes out.

Whoa!!! 55K on a 2008?!?!?! I have 49K on my 2005, I need to drive more.
BTW, hang onto the 550 and get the new F10 550 when it comes out

My 2008 528i is my first BMW after many Volvos and a limited edition LincolnLS ( very quick and agile V-8 with lots of aluminum and fiberglass parts) anyway, I probably will NEVER buy anything except a BMW . It has to be the most connected you can feel to a vehicle you are driving. I know that owners of Japanese makes may have less maintenance and more reliability, but lets face it--who wants to drive their grandfathers Buick?
Stick with BMW!!
