Test drive the 535 first, then the 550. That should make up your mind. Looking at MF's this month and if you don't mind paying more for gas (on the highway, I'm getting near 25-26 at 70) the 550 is...

I think it will have the same quality problems of the rest of MB's line. MB has really cheapened their build quality over the last 7-10 years. Actually I think Benz hit its Zenith in 1991. When...

Stay clear of loaner cars. It's someone's rental--it ain't someone's pristine baby they took care of. The loaners I think are the worst of the worst. Same with demos.

My sales guy laughed at my question when they'd get a wagon to look at. Since the wagon is pretty expensive, that gets into Cayenne range.

I think there are 4 things:

1. Ride with Dynamic Damper Control
2. The engine
3. HVAC
4. AWD system (can handle 20" snow storms without a problem).

Facelift should be out before your lease is up. At least in the states, BMW will do a push to clear out MY13 first. My guess for U.S. is September or October (just my guess). Might earlier for...

you're brave German Roots, LOL, for going low on a 550--this car is thirsty.

KA, I bet they still have the same rattles and smell like a plastic factory. Benz hasn't fixed the multiple rattle issues from the introduction of the W212--I doubt this would be any better.
