gawddamn the new 5 series looks fuckin' sweet. I have had two different 3 series bmw's, a 95 325i and now a 2003 325ci and both cars are excellent. It's probably a preference thing but the setup of the interior and the feel of the car are solid all the way around. Recently I bought a Lexus i300 and the car is definitely a lot of fun to drive, much more squirrely than the bmw. Mainly because you can disengage the stability control (the bmw won't let you turn it off). The lexus is a pretty car, very well designed and a nice shot at the 3 series but is made cheaply.
BMW just make solid cars. You only really know it after driving them for awhile. I test drove a few different Audi's when I was ready to trade in my old 95 and although their design is super sweet, they just can't hang with a BMW.
Mercedes are expensive. Some are nicely designed. I like performance and it just costs too much at Merc to get the car I want with the numbers I like.
