damn 6k miles after 1.5 years? What battery issues did he have again?

 

Originally he was having problems where the computer would bug out about the AWD and DSC (whatever it's called for BMW) having issues, and another thing about airbag issues a couple times. These would go away after driving it for a few seconds. Now, the battery charge lasts like 12 hours.

 

He try getting a new battery? His will go to shit if its just sitting around that much without a battery tender or something.

 

We'll see what happens with the dealership. I'm sure he'll need a new battery.
Maybe if he gets an XF, I can get him to give me his 535xi

 

60k? How about a CPO S550 with sport package?

 

S class/7/A8 is too big for him. I don't think it would even fit in our garage

 

It seriously sounds like the problem is what BMW told him it is - 6000 miles in a year and a half is not much use, and could cause the battery to have trouble holding a charge.

 

there's a S5 at my gym and MAN! I can't stop looking at it!!! It is such a piece of art! The guy never cares where he parks too... (end spots, far away spots etc. etc...).

 

With that kind of money, either a 2009 CTS-V, or a CPO E55 AMG. Or the CLS class from MB, but it would be a demo to get it that low in price.

 

instead of an m3, go get a dinan 335i =)

 

S5 S5 S5 S5 S5 S5 S5 S5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

of the cars listed, S5. and then the xF. the GS and RL pale in comparison to those two.

but yea....for $60k, after seeing neuronbob's thread, i'm at the CTS-V.

EDIT: i wish i had this problem. fml.

 

XF FTW. Beautiful car.

 

I'll vote for the S5 a third time. Was in the Audi dealer yesterday and they had one on the floor. Great looking car.

 

As incredible as the S5 is I just have a thing for the XF (supercharged natch). That thing in person is even hotter than the Audi IMO.....

 

I voted for the S5... but I gotta admit... the XF gets my attention EVERYTIME too... but still... I would rather have the S5 first.

 

yea same here.

other than the CTS-V, the xF is the best looking sedan i've seen on the road and turns my head everytime.

 

Dunno which one I would pick if it were up to me. The S5 is hot, but the XF is more rare so far, and looks more exotic

 

s5 the best way to go

 

S5 or M3 or GTR!!!!!!!

 

need I say more

 

butttttttttt if not...
definitely go for teh S5
