Welcome Petercat.

One quick question - do you think the interior fit and finish of the E60 is better/worse than that of the E90?

Hey, welcome and congrats on your move to the larger sedan I just registered at E90 just to exchange info as many seemed well informed there. You'll find lots of help here and maybe a bit of fun, sometimes at your (or my) expense, but all in good spirits

What happened with the E90 that you switched so fast to the E60?

I loved the e90, it was everything I wanted in a car but a little small. I also got the 325, so a little low on power, but no dog. It was Jet Black over Terra. I absolutely fell in love with the Terra, but I'm not a fan of black cars. I'm a nut when it comes to a clean car and black was killing me. Also, I bought off the showroom floor and it didn't have lumber and the seats already sit a bit lower. I've had 4 back surgeries (I'm only 34) and I needed more comfort than the 3 could give me. The 5 seems to have answered all my wants.

Here's some pics of the 3;

Thanks for the welcome.

Congratulations! I too came from a 3 series, an e46 M3. And I almost purchased an e90 which I think is a great car.

Concerning the query on the fit and finish of the interior I feel the e60 wins this hands down. But then you are definitely paying for it. What the e90 excells in is handling.
