I guess it depends on life and if we still have dogs..lol. I LOVE how older BMW's look but really can't stand any of the new stuff from them, especially with the grill design (can't talk too much crap because Lexus is just as bad with the overall size, what happened to the nice clean look of years ago with normal/small grills??) .. Newer BMWs do nothing for me, which is the same with Audi. I somewhat feel like that on MB's as well. I really like the interiors but I can't really stand how the exterior looks... most models all flow together now, which looks really bad. When I have a hard time figuring out if it's a C class or E class, that's when MB lost me as a customer. However you can't have everything so I will take Lexus reliability and comfort knowing I'm giving up some things but not having to always be in the shop for service...etc.
