Will you trade in your e90 for the new 5 series?

Maxtor · 11-23-2009, 05:21 PM

Saw the official pictures were just released on the new 5 series.

Looks very similar to the e90 (in a good way I think).

My lease on my 2007 e90 comes due in 6 months... this new style has me thinking about moving up a weight class (535ix maybe).

Thoughts?

e82vette · 11-23-2009, 05:35 PM

I would but out of my pocket range

I335 · 11-23-2009, 05:36 PM

No, I won't trade my 335 for it, I'll sell it myself...

dpwr · 11-23-2009, 05:40 PM

was thinking same thing, but it all depends on $$$, it's not looking good lately :|

Undies · 11-23-2009, 06:19 PM

5 series is a sick car

i would trade, cause its comfier, i think its better built, drives like a little tank (good way),

ss134 · 11-23-2009, 06:42 PM

All depends on what it drives like, the current 5 is not as good to drive as the 3.....

veightkiller · 11-23-2009, 06:46 PM

it's all about the cash flow.

shipill · 11-23-2009, 09:57 PM

I like the new 5 series.

EuRoTUneR · 11-23-2009, 10:20 PM

bump up to a nice e90 M3 instead =]

PBureno · 11-24-2009, 12:38 AM

love the new 5er, if it doesn't cost me anything then of course i'd trade up LOL

MRQturbo · 11-24-2009, 10:07 AM

nope....don't like the new design....

DinoMite · 11-24-2009, 10:18 AM

I would buy the 550 as a family car in 3 years, but without DCT, bmw can go fly a kite and take their 8 speed automatic with them.

mathu.bala · 11-24-2009, 11:13 AM

I don't like the direction grill design is heading

kaycar · 11-24-2009, 11:38 AM

will seriously consider once lease is up

CHCCubs · 11-24-2009, 04:11 PM

I might consider it once my lease is up, but that won't be for another 3 years or so.

Bimmer Al · 11-24-2009, 05:03 PM

Depends if I like the size of the vehicle......normally I prefer a smaller car but I do like the 5er

335ifanatic · 11-24-2009, 06:36 PM

A year or two down the road people will be asking, "will you be trading your new 5 series for the new 3 series".

Maxtor · 11-24-2009, 06:52 PM

Funny... but maybe true... the new 3 will likely be a bit bigger than it is now.

marakbai · 11-24-2009, 11:00 PM

Don't know this is my first BMW and we bought it. Maybe next year or two I will replace the RDX with the 5 series. I kinda love the 3 but I'm a sucker for a new car.

CdnE90 · 11-25-2009, 08:03 AM

Nope, I'm going to stick with the 3er for the time being. I think I need a few more years under my belt before I consider the 5 as my DD. I test drove the old 5er when I bought my 3, and it was a boat compared to the 3. I'm sure the driving dynamics have improved with the new model, but with the 5er's mass and size, even German engineers have to respect the laws of physics!

JayML · 11-25-2009, 01:50 PM

does anyone have any info on when its supposed to be released in canada?

my E class is due up in april, and i was going to get the new one , but im liking the new 5

im assuming the prices are not out yet.

any info would be appreciated

hokie4life03 · 11-25-2009, 01:55 PM

NO! The new 5 is nice, but kind of bland. It's more a family sedan and less of sports sedan.
