Guys, if you r me what would you do?

Budget: below 1m

Choices:
1) M.Benz 2009 S300 (not sure, will see it later) 0 hand
2) BMW 2009 730(F01) (not sure, will see it later today) 1 hand
3) BMW 2010 550(F10) (standard) 0 hand
4) BMW 2010 535(F10) (with a lot more options) 0 hand

Thanks in advance
2) Pricing drops too quickly.
3) Extremely difficult to sell
4) A balanced car, don't forget to tick the adaptive drive option (aka dynamic drive), difference is night and day.

Either 3 or 4, MBenz and 730 seem over age for you.

You need white cap, black tie and black suit to act as a chauffeur.
Luckily not green

BTW is the resell value a thing to consider?, so far which one has the best resell value?

Just curious, none of you seems to be interested with (2), is there a common reason?
a very nice car but too big to drive.
If I was to hire some 1 to drive it for me then 100% get 1 or 2

I think you should consider the bodykit after you get the wheels

Bro, this is exactly the point.

From my experience, all those options I added actually can't be reviewed to the price when I sell it!
It is always the person/car dealer, whom accepted my car as a trade-in, is happy!
It makes me feel like wasting money, especially those tax that came with the options added!
then get a stock 535 and I still buy it of you

IMO a lowered car with big wheels are already the best killer combo

Not much, she has her toy (E93) already, however, when I consider (1) or (2), I was thinking for her and the kids (and the biz too), but when I think of (3) or (4), I am more thinking mostly for myself
3&4 can be for family too
dont forget itis much bigger than our E60

I am "ok" with the handling of MB S class, I do drive my dad's S500 every now and then, but I can only say it is a good car for the passenger, and it is bloody easy to park and making a U-turn, but! It feels too much like driving a Wii car game (not even PS3!!)...
So, I think I have a battle inside me between the choice of pleasure for family and pleasure for myself
for me pleasure for family and myself not just pleasure for family
I what my family to enjoy the mods too.
last week my son said dad where is you old wheels I like them better, can you put them back on lol
