I was about to buy a BMW X5 3.0i, but I am going to go for a Lexus RX300 because of the gas mileage, plus the RX can go for regular unleaded gasoline, and its smoother ride (quietness). So I am most likely going to get a BMW sedan.

530i vs 540i
-Are the lights different for the front? I have the 530i's, but does the 540i have it?

-I had a Lexus LS400 which was really comfy in the back for my three kids. Do you think the 5-series will be? I know it will be a little smaller. One is a 17 yrs old, while the others are at least 7 years younger.

-I'm worried about the ride of the 5-series. I haven't test driven it yet, but I will in a couple of weeks. I've heard its like driving a sports car. Well I just want it as quiet as the LS400, or close. I know nothing can be as quiet as Lexus (what most people tell me).

-Does anyone know when the new 7 is coming out, I've heard next year? Will the price be the same. I have built it on the BMWUSA site, and mine is about $70k. I might opt for that, or for a 540i which came to be $53k.

-How much better is the 7? I don't really want to drive it when a new shape will come out soon.

-When will the new 5 come out?
