Shock and Awe!
 Bought the car one year ago.  Was shocked at what I paid for it, but awed by how wonderful the car is.   We had test driven an A6 and a GS350.  both the Audi and Lexus had too low a ground clearance to begin with (we need to go on private gravel road and put a crown on the road.  I didn't need a high priced road grader to take it back off)   We found the GS350 with AWD drove like you would expect a truck to feel.  We were not impressed by the Audi dealers around us (within 60 mi)  There is more road noise in the 535i than we had with the Buick Lacrosse we owned, probably because of the run flat tires.  I would rather have radials and a spare.  BMW really needs to add remote start to its vehicles!  Otherwise, I think the car is fantastic.  Would do it again but without the run flat tires.update with 22500 miles on the car.  The day BMW announced that remote start was available for this car I was all over it.  Had it installed at the dealer.  they did great for the first one they ever installed.  The engineers at BMW need a reality check.  If the parking brake isn't set or the wiper fluid is low it will not remote start. So, one day when it is well below freezing I want to be in Germany to hose down their cars (like freezing rain in the US).  Lets see how many of them remembered to set the parking brake and keep all the fluids topped up.  I still don't like the run flat tires.  Still think it was the best choice from among the luxury sedans for my purpose.  Runs great, no problems.
