My new replacement.
Last month, my lease on 2012 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic was up and I was looking for my new ride. It was a long story, but I'm done with Mercedes, so I want to give BMW a try.
I did test drive both 535i Xdrive and 528i Xdrive. The dealer set both cars nearly at the same price with 528i has more options than the basic 535i. I know that 535i has more powerful engine, but with my style of driving, the smaller engine with more options is just right for me. I ended up choosing 528i Xdrive with Luxury trim and some great options over the base 535i and I'm happy with my decision. This is my first BMW after 9 years with 3 Mercedes Benz. BMW is just a great car. Love it! |

Yup! Adaptive LED would be nice, but coming from 9 years with Mercedes Benz standard yellow Halogen headlights to BMW adaptive bi-xenon already makes me happy. It's already a big step.

looks awesome. In the last pic i see the front of a Merc.... what's up with that? lol After getting used to the bimmer you will never be able to drive a Mercedes again. I wish you had gone for the straight 6. That is what BMW is all about. No worries, you'll have something to trade up to in three years.
Congrats and enjoy the new ride! |

I took the picture on the same day I had the brand new BMW delivered and the Merc ready to return back to the dealer after 2 years lease. So far I'm happy with my 528ix engine. It's good and fast enough for my everyday drive with good MPG. I spent out the engines diferences on several options that makes my everyday rides enjoyable. And yes! I don't think I'd ever go back to the Merc again.

I tried, much harder than a person should when buying a car, to like E350 during my test drive. (Un)fortunately it just ended up being quite disappointing experience for me, in terms of handling and just overall feeling on the road, it really wasn't what I like. Looks and fit and finish are great, but too floaty for my taste. Not saying it's a bad car, I get why people like it, there is lots to like there, but 5 series just handles (and looks in my opinion) much better, I'm sure you won't regret it long term either.
