I drive a 1999 740IL and I love it. Judging from the video, I can relate with you on driving a BMW.

I just don't like the current BMW designs no matter how hard I try. I have always loved the engines and the handling but this is a car I wouldn't even consider. I just don't like how it looks. I liked the last body style soo much more. Now if I were shopping that class it'd have to an E550. T

the E550 is a very nice sedan. it's seriously fast...but just doesn't have the handling and fun to drive factor of the 550i. probably best for those who lean a little more toward the luxury side of the luxury/sport equation.

All the magazine writers are saying the 535 is actually better than the 550 (less weight equals same acceleration and better handling). I have never liked the torque curve of a turbo. I find it hard to believe. Thoughts? Also, any thoughts on how much better the 2008 is than the 2007 550?

I dig the integrated flashlight. But at this point, the "best seats" in the biz must go to Lexus.
