They all have numb electric steering at this point so that's kinda moot. Midsize sedans are a shrinking niche though. I'd bet you'll be able to lease a 530e (plug in hybrid) in the low 400s within a year. Would make great commuter.

Saw a nice imola red e39 M5 parked on the street the other day. Kinda made me want one.
i want an F10 or G30 for daily use (soon).



(this E92 M3 thing is temporary)
