But what about your more mature attitude at 22? I'm 45, does it mean it's time for me to move to a retired people complex and switch to a (BMW) wheelchair ?

Lol.. i was making a joke about the fact that I am 22 and recommending it to mature people when i might not be all that mature yet myself...

You're right, my mistake. I mean 200 pounds (about 92 kilos); well, to be honest during Xmas holidays I got a couple of kilos more, but I'm pretty confident to lose them again before next Xmas!
Im 6"3 250 pounds ...

Surely that was a downgrade... E90 to E60 90>60...

WOW so you're saying you're 22 married and all mature already? Ready for comfort and luxury?

YA! I've been saying that in a few threads when people ask for advice on why get the E60 over E90 but everyone seems to disagree that the E60 interior material is of higher quality! I KNEW I wasnt imagining it... you can sooo tell that the E60 material are higher quality.

I am 22 & married, & I am lucky that I am able to afford the switch. I was making a joke about the fact that I am recommending the E60 to mature people when I am just 22 myself.

I enjoyed the E90 very much while I had it, I am 6"3 and 250lb & I drive to my Business location daily so perhaps I do appreciate the extra room & comfort (which is quite significant) more then smaller people or those who do not have a daily commute to work or business.

There is not doubt in my mind about the higher quality of materials in the E60 over the E90.

Did not get a chance to get the windows tinted today but when I do in the next few days will post some pics of the E90 and the new E60.

I just traded up from a E90 325i to a E60 530i and I am sure there are other people out there who are considering a similar switch or are debating between the two so I am posting my thoughts for your consideration. I had the E90 for 9 Months.


If you are young, single, a sport fanatic, not looking for comfort/luxury - get the E90!

If you are mature (I am 22), married, enjoy comfort and luxury with reasonable sporting ability & BMW handling - Get the E60!
I went from ordering an e90 330i to buying a 550i a few weeks ago. Guess I'm mature just like you, with the exception of 20+ years. My wife says I look a lot younger than my age though.

This was a tough decision for me as well... I ended up making no decision and ordered a 550i for myself and a 330i for my wife.
