I am in the same position on the end of the lease coming up, and trying to make a decision on what to do. The first deliveries on the F10 won't be until April from what I hear. There have been a lot of comments on not buying the F10 because of the first year issues, but I discount that. Look through these topics and see how many real problems the E60 had when it first came out. BMW has too much at stake to let something go out he doors that is not damn near perfect. My dilemma is deciding between the XF Supercharged, or waiting for the new F10.

Good luck with your decision.

I honestly don't think the latest generation E-Class gives up much to the 550 in the handling department when equipped, as yours is, with the AMG/Sport pack. The old stereotypes about MB handling should have been put to bed a while back. They're turning out some very decent product right now and the new E-Class seems to be no exception. Enjoy the E550 - it is a fine car.

I've got a 550i and a CLS 550 (based on the E frame). I never drive the CLS.
