BMW's "Goldilocks" Car
 It was time to replace my 80,000+ mile 2014 Mercedes E250 BlueTec.  I wasn't impressed by the generic styling of the MB's exterior so thought I'd give the BMW 5 Series a try.  Nice car but it didn't offer exactly what I was looking for, namely, high mileage with visual appeal.  Then I saw a car that I never knew was available until I was at the dealership -- the 403i Gran Coupe with Luxury Package.  It checked all of the boxes for me, great highway mileage (34 EPA Highway;  but I've averaged about 10- to 15% higher at a steady 75+ MPH in Comfort mode), safety, comfort (I'm 6'5" & 215#), high quality entertainment system with large screen navigation and storage space.  Rear Seat comfort?  Ok for short jaunts -- my only sacrifice vs the 530i.  Storage space?  Incredible!  This thing is a hatchback with about half of what my SUV holds (MB GLE350).  The front seats are extremely comfortable, the steering is very direct and the iDrive 6 is amazing, especially with Apple Play.  Performance?  More than sufficient for my needs.  I cannot rate reliability with only 1,500 miles on the odometer, however, J.D. Powers rates the GranCoupe higher than the 3 and 5 Series as "Better Than Most".   Best of all it was $5k less than the comparable 5 Series.  Yup, out came the checkbook.   If you're searching for a stylish, comfortable, well equipped vehicle, you should give the 4 Series Gran Coupe serious consideration.
