Is there a specific reason? I have heard the reviews for the TL are just ok. Why not upgrade to a 2010 550?

Isn't that the car with that big ass beaver tooth in the front...? I had one and could not stand the front wheel drive feeling. IMO, it always feels like it pulls to one side a little when you excellerate

Had a '05 TL. Loved it, but the new one is HIDEOUS! I would seriously recommend it. Consider a 535ix! Why buy new even? I like the reliability of the Jap cars but compared to your current, they are just not engaging. But like another poster said, its your money, you do you! GLW the buy!

It's a pretty sweet car you will get a small break in MPG and cost of maintenance. If you like it, take a test drive before and go for it.

front wheel drive kills it for me. Plus the total drive experience will not be there. Your decision though, no pressure

what is it about your current E60 that you are not happy with?

Ah, sorry I missed the AWD bit there. Maybe that is the correcton with just front wheel drive, which I HATED. And from a 528 to the TL and theh TL will crush the 528...
