Per my other recent thread, we were on our way to the Infiniti dealer for one last drive before we lease one.... stopped at BMW just to make sure I was doing the right thing.

Let me tell you, I like the M35 or M45. Nice car. well rounded, fast, handles decent and generally problem free. But when I drove my first 535i today, I just crumbled. I realized right then and there there is no match for this car from the Infiniti line up. close, yes, but as other say - no cigar.

Got me an invoice deal, $1700 +/- under invoice with Premium Option credit. $72,4xx sticker. Freaking thing is loaded, just like my old 550 and I feel home again. truly. the handling is just $%@#* phenomenal.

Carbon Black with Natural Brown. nice combo. see new signature for the details.

Thanks all, really glad to be back to the forum...

What was your out of pocket and monthly break down?

That is, if you don't mind my asking...

only the '08 750i. In fact, that was my first "real" accident, and hopefully my last. By real, I mean no one that happened once or twice in the supermarket parking lot, backing up or something minor.

I'm addicted, what can I say?
