The used prices reflect this as well.
There is also a clear advantage to sticking with the original penned car. This 5 series was a knock out and I've seen them lose the regular sport pack, they stopped offering the original Dark Graphite paint color. The LCI may square off the headlights and turn the grin spoiler into a frown.

Thats why I am in such a state of flux. Go with the proven design, slghtly less sporty handling....

OR... BY pass the 5 for the M5! If only it leased out less than a mortgage payment.
