Definately between the GS350 and 5 series beemer for me. It's just personal choice. The GS feels more luxurious to me, and the 5 series was more of a drivers car (sporty). I like the CPO program from Lexus more than BMW's.

Thanks for the LS460 suggestions! I overlooked it as an option. I thought it might be too big. But it is only 8" longer than the GS. I could get a nice CPO in my price range, maybe low 40s. The rear seat looks like it has a lot more room.
My wife takes the metro (subway) to work. The station is a 10 minute walk from home. She never drives, so I always have 2 vehicles to choose from. But I will get a dedicated snow tire setup for the GS. They are much safer even with the occasional snow/ice.
Can the GS fit 2 rear facing car seats with 5'9" passengers up front? My brother pointed out the 2 kid challenge. When they had a 2nd kid, he traded in his man card and got an Odyssey minivan. If we have 2 kids the GS would be the M-F daily driver. I would just need to fit car seats. I'd get a larger SUV for the weekends, vacations, and towing.

i like GS.. but like ppl say, i would go for LS,
M37 isn't bad but trust me that car actually could have more problem than a BMW, Nissan use really cheap paint so their paint get chip off really easily, their interior smell like crap if u sweat a lot, i don't see that problem in my benz and GS, bring the car to a infiniti dealer for a check up, u can come back seeing a report on on your car like a 10 pages well written essay and easily 4 digi on the bill
535 are nice, only if u go for the F10, their engine are freaking beast once u chip it.

A 535 wagon would be great to drive. But I would not buy a BMW with the n54. It is just not a car you keep for 10 years. The 335d is great mpg and tons of power, just too small. If there was a 535d in 2009-2011, I would not be here.

I would go with the GS. I am new to Gen 3 GS. Just bought a red 07' AWD and a pearl 09' AWD. Drove my Gen 2 GS400 169,000 miles with no service issues. The GS350 will be perfect. If you need the extra space, look for the LS. Good luck!!!
