After 5 months of daily visits to this forum I finally decided to go for the first test drive on the E60. Heck, after a 15 minutes drive, 10 minutes negoiation, I placed the order. The damn paperwork took me 45 minutes though 
. Didn't get the best discount but it's acceptable.
The lease on my Inifiniti terminates in May, and hence the late delivery of the E60. If I have no kids, and no wife beside me during the whole buying process, I would have picked the 550 with the M sport package. However, being a family guy who hates changing tires during winter, I picked the 530xi non-sport. All in all, this is still the best car I have driven so far. Furthermore, I mastered idrive in 2 minutes--contrary to what the critics say.
Now the wait is just killing me :'( Wish I can get rid of my Infiniti without paying penalty.

Congrats!!! Nice option selection for a AWD E60. I was really tempted to go with Auburn too.
