My Ride: See my signature
Okay, I'm sorry I couldn't help myself. I actually picked up a 2007 Infiniti M45 Sport. So it is an M just wrong company and M45. 
I traded in the TL. I've had my eye on these as the prices have come down. It only has 16K miles on it and it's certified to 100K or the next 42 months. It is absolutely loaded with every option. It's actually pretty fast, handles, and drives fantastic(obviously not compared to the M5). I was looking at an 07 and up Mercedes CLS or an E-Class. I will tell you that Mercedes absolutely suck without an AMG package. I was almost put to sleep when I was test driving both of those. I was very disappointed. I was very tempted to buy a 550, but if was going to "downgrade" it couldn't be another E60. It would be too weird to be sitting in basically the same looking car without the performance of an M. I'll wait until the F10 sits better with me.
Overall it will be a nice daily replacement for the M5 now that it will be going away.(story for another day...I promise I'll tell you all soon. HINT: See my signature change on the bottom)
Here are some pics while I have both.

Nice car. Before my 550 I had a FX35 sport pkg. Loved that car\suv and still miss the storage space and ability to go out shopping and not be concerned if I can get everything in.
The M looks much bigger and taller. I'm sure it's plush and smooth on the highways. Congrats

.. And what do you mean a downgrade to a 550?
