Just picked up the 535 Diesel with the M package and it is a great car. I was looking at the 7 but they had a grey color with a brown interior that looked great. I have approx. 1500 miles on it and have only filled it up 3 times costing about $50 per fill up. IMO the best luxury, fuel efficient, sporty sedan on the market. I am not sure if all of those even go together lol

I do like the car I'm driving so I wouldn't mind keeping it for another 6-12 months.

We shall see.....

So you're saying I just read 16 pages for nothing?:smackhead

Joe weren't some versions of the W-12 engine somewhat troublesome?

Maybe I'm thinking about the early ones, and the bugs have been worked out by now...?
Also knows as the Volkswagen Phaeton W12 motor....right?

That's a really nice M6. Too rich for my blood.

I'm still undecided but I'm trying to narrow it down so I'm going to go test drive some this weekend. I like the A7 so I'll start there.

My lease is up in a few months so I'm starting to look for my next car. What are you guys driving?

We leased a GS350F Lexus recently for my wife...the lease deals were super competitive June/July...car is amazing....and she loves Lexus after having Cadi's, BMW's and Acura's..

I just talked to a GM of a porche dealership and now I have a lot of thinking to do. He was very honest and told me that I should extend the lease on my 740 and wait for the price of the new 740's to drop which they will in 6-9 months from now.

He said I would be disappointed with the Maserati and the A7 simply because my car at the moment has way better options and drives better than those models.

I'm not looking to downgrade so I'm going to take my time and make sure I'm making the right decision. I do like the car I'm driving so I wouldn't mind keeping it for another 6-12 months.

We shall see.....

This is the wisest advise you got and you know it.

Is than an AMG or just with the appearance package?

My buddy just turned in his CLS 63. It was on the shop a lot but it did amazing donuts.

Funny I just read the first post and than saw you had a BMW and was going to skip to last page and post CLS500. My wife has a S and I love that car. Local dealer has a 14 CLS with 20k asking 55 I think.

Nice! Are you gonna check out the BMW 650 gran coupe too?

The more I researched and looked at pictures and videos, the more I started to like this car.

I'm going tomorrow to test drive a 650i Gran Coupe. I have a deal lined up so I might just pull the trigger tomorrow.

Aren't they about 10-15k more than the CLS? I know pricing between German cars can be difficult as you can get a BMW clock package that is $12k for no reason.

It is more but you also get a lot more than the CLS as far as packages and power go. I didn't like the CLS that much. The 650i is a beast at 445HP.

Yes that's true. The base CLS is kind of a slug, the 550 is just adequate.

You did? Nice.

I have a 2013 740i now. Would love to get the new 740 but the leases are ridiculous because it's a new model.

The BMW 4 Series 4 door looks sweet. I had a 740 and a 528 and loved both.....now I have a Mercedes E Series and look at the BMWs with lust. Both are great cars.

I like the 5 series and the grand coupes.....the 7's are to big and just not as much fun to drive.

Test drove it and it's awesome. Now it's time to grind them and make them regret leasing me a car [emoji51]

$5,700 for Msport package?? Stupid BMW.

Car looks good though. How much are they asking for down?

I'm betting the 36 month lease will be $900/month plus or minus $50. $5k-$7k down.
