528i or LR4

D-Rock · 04-05-2012, 02:35 PM

I know this is a bmw forum as well as a 5 series section, but I would like to get your guys opinion on the LR4.

If I were to get a 528i or 535i It would have to have m package and nav of course.

I was considering the m3 but the ride is so rough for a daily especially in LA and I need the space for my equipment.

Any opinions would be great!
Thanks!!

All are welcome even Land Rover questions. I skipped the M3, it's too much for the street. Got a 335i coupe Msport and even that is a nit punishing on the street. 535i is the sweet spot. Rides very nicely, has just enough power, gets decent gas milage and looks a treat. The LR4 is a different type of vehicle. Not my cup of tea, but I suppose if you need AWD or to carry a lot of passengers and cargo, it could make sense. I think it takes the term "boxy" a bit too literally.

You can't go wrong with BMW. 2012 X5 Sport or 528i/535i M-Sport.

If I were willing to spend the money on an M3 then I would certainly not get the 528. Go with the 535i and you will be happy.
