The price difference between ES350 vs GS 350 is appx. $10K with ES starting at $36K and GS starting at 46K.
I was talking about the Benz...MSRP was off by about $200 from the 535, HP=Same...But the E350 feels like a chrysler with Mercedes badges on it...the interior finishing is rubbish.

Im working on a 535i lease right now...negotiated invoice pricing minus $4k in incentives (loyalty, option, USAA) So net cap is 4k below invoice plus 59% residual plus .00145 incentive MF and the Mercedes E350 which is within about $200 MSRP is almost $100/m cheaper on lease. BMW needs to drop the MF another percent and offer $1500 conquest to match MB in July and I will be a proud 535i owner.
