Congrats on getting the 528i. A very nice car.
You are aware there's a rule which requires you to post pics of new rides? lol

What do you mean? Sure, Infiniti is the best brand. I know because I own one.

It sounded like you had to "settle" for less than you really wanted, that's all I meant.

Yeah that's cool. IMO, they are all very nice cars so I don't think I settled for less. With BMW being less reliable, we might have headaches later on. But it's kind of exciting going German for the first time after owning just Japanese cars.

I honestly do not want NAV or advanced tech on the BMW because that's just asking for more problems Otherwise, I'd have got the 535

By the way, the iDrive thing is pretty stupid but I am getting used to it lol. I can see why older people hate it.

I really enjoyed the BMW 328xi (sporty ride) or the the C300 benz for a luxury comfortable drive

Actually the 1s,3s, and 5s aren't too unreliable, the 6s and 7s are another story however.
Just drove a 135i Sat and that 7spd dual clutch auto is sweeeeet! It's on my short list to replace the G next year, it's also pretty damn quick. Good luck w/ your 5, they're nice rides.

I've been going to the drive for a cure for years. I've driven every BMW model and variation except the m5, m6 and alpina.

My favorite is the 135i, what a fast, nimble car. My favorite convertible is the 650i. For me the problem is with the room in the 135. The G has a good mix of performance and room. The 135 is all performance and no room.

Agreed, it's nice to have the back seat for a baby seat or booster or an adult that gets out of line, lol. IMO it's like getting a 370z w/ a little extra room just in case. It's perfect for me though, I only use the back seat as a very last resort The back seat is extra tight but not much worse than a Lexus IS, A4, or G coupe. And it is a blast to zip around in The AT is SOOOO much better than our Gs AT for sure!
