Buy it now. Especially, the remaining 07 e60s. The dealers are blowing them out of the lot.

Need a car? Yes. Why wait when you need a car and can enjoy the E60 for several years before the new model come out? If you avoid year 1 of a new model (always advisable), then you're looking at a 2011, which is +1 year more.

Don't need, but really want, an E60 now? No clear answer. Up to you and your wallet!

If you lease, no brainer, get it now.
Nobody knows for sure what the next 5-series will look like.
If it's like E53 X5 to E70 X5, then it's not too bad of a change; though E39 to E60 is like day and night.

Can you really wait 3.5-4 years out? I almost try to get PAXIL from black market while waiting for 535i since they are confirmed to be released until now

Pre-LCI's, great deals if you are lucky to find one. LCI's, refresh look with renew power, but might have to pay close to msrp. At the end of the day, your going to scream "B"reak "M"y "W"allet. But it's all worth it!!!!

No brainer - buy it now!!

In 2010 you'll be fretting is you should wait on the facelift version due in 2013

The e60 is a fantastic car - go for it!

Buy your E60 now Kamen.

The LCI is fresh out.

But then again the new 5-series will come out in 2010 and the LCI for it in 2014.
Maybe you should wait until 2014, or better yet the March produced in 2015.
But then the new one will come out in 2019...

Depends how badly U need a car,
Otherwise I will wait 1-2 years after 2010 launch,
and make sure there are no problems in new model,
and buy in 2012

do not worry
Go to sleep, sweet dreams,
