The way it looks with the M Sport kit really makes this car look solid, aggressive, sporty and expensive.

I see so many people putting 'Handling' as teh main reason for the E60.
This is a bit crazy.
There are cheaper cars out there which have much better handling.
Perhaps the wuality of the handling given thats it's a saloon and given it's size and weight.
I had an old porker which handled much better than the E60.

What I love about it is the comfort within a beautifully styled body.

The one thing I love is the Main Dealer's helpfulness, understanding and diligence when diagnosing the fault I have with my gearbox, they always seem to come up with the right answer, which is "there is nothing wrong with it".
They're not at all condescending or patronising, and they always will listen and diagnose issues with the utmost competence and at a reasonable cost.

It's difficult to nail down, but both Mrs. sixcard and I find that we can travel farther with less fatigue.

Perhaps that is "20" way power seating and the smooth, firm ride.

It handles great, torque is nice, and is fuel efficient.

I enjoy the overall feeling of confidence I have while driving. I'm comfortable and the car can handle any situation I might encounter on the road.
