I have been reading posts in this forum for a couple of months. I have been a long time BMW fan. Unfortunately I am presently without out a BMW. I recently leased an 07 MB 350E. I could not pass up the lease terms. The local dealer made a mistake in the weekend ad they ran in the paper, and instead of dealing with all of the bitching from prospective customes decided to honor the ad. After driving the car for 3 months, I sure prefer the handling of my 2000 528i that I got rid of.
Anyway, it is only a 27 month lease and I can get a new 5 series then. I sure hope that the 535d hits the US by then. I think that could be a great long term ride.

"Only 27 months..." That's a long time to be without a BMW! The substitute is okay, I guess. 
my fellow San Diegan.

Greetings from Carmel Valley. If you leased the E350 from MB of SD you might be able to swing something from BMW of SD as Penske owns both . Go see Pat Springer, he'll take good care of you.
