Heh? I beg to differ, my i-6 does not lack power at all.

yes, ivan, lets trade.....hahah j/k. i'm still debating between the 2 equally fun cars. i've nvr driven a gs but based on what i've read and my driving impressions of my 5er, its hard to imagine another sedan that can outhandle it (stock vs stock) except its older bros-540 & ///M5-mostly due to the 50/50 weight dist. what's the weight dist. on the gs4? right now, i'm just keeping an eye out for a reasonably priced white or blk gs4. i know once i test drive the 8 cyl..i probably won't be able to go back to an i-6. thanks for all the input and you'll be the 1st to hear if i've jump camps.

it doesn't take much in the way of suspension mods to make a gs400 out handle a bmw 540 and of course its way faster than the 528, and more reliable than either one.

reliability is my biggest concern, also the power of the v8 isn't bad either. i was just checking out the other posts and i didn't realize how hard it was to find a good low mileage gs4 for a reasonable price $25-30k. i'll be patient and hope for the best.

A few more cents...

I went from a '00 528i w/ sport package to an '03 GS430, with a year of '99 911 Cab in between. The Bimmer handled incredibly well, so balance with predictable oversteer (fun!). The only problem was that is was so PAINFULLY SLOW! It had a five speed tranny even. If you think that your Bimmer doesn't lack power you should test drive anything V-8. I love my GS but of course I can't keep a car longer than 18 months! Why don't you drive a new one- performance is mostly the same between 400 and 430. Good luck my friend.

what do you consider low miles. my wife and i both bought 1999 gs400 this year in that price range. both had 46 thousand mile. i've put 8k on mine since april and neither car has had a problem.

i've seen a few in in the 20-30k range for that price since then. ivan

I have a 99 GS400 with every option except Navigation. Mileage is in the upper 60's, all original paint, I can let it go for $19,500. Get rid of your Bimmer, take a one way flight here and drive it back. I'll split it with you. You get my factory chrome 17's and a set of factory 16's with tires for the winter.
