Wonderful car

Superb performance and handling for a car of it's size. I've owned many 5 series, 528i, M535i, 2.5 litre 523i, and now this 3.0 litre 523i. Have loved each of them, but this is close to the best. Very quiet, so quiet that I have on a couple of occasions walked away leaving it running. Fast, luxurious, sporty, I can't look beyond BMW and usually 5 series when replacing my car. Not excessively expensive to maintain, though owning a BMW is not inexpensive.
