Well it's been a year now with the BMW driven it for 2 months out of the year but I still enjoy the challenge (most of the time). 1 year Anniversry so I figured I would post. It has also been 1 year since I have seen the 500 :(

what impressions so far from the 500 to the 528e? these could be mechanical, performance, reliability, etc.

just curious

Yeah, which has better handling and ultimate grip?

The 380se is pretty good at what is does, it just has noticeable body roll in tight, high-speed corners (freeway onramps, etc), but I have hardly ever been able to make the Bridgestone Potenzas on the car lose traction in a dry corner. How does the BMW stack up to the S-class?

2 diffrent cars way diffrent cars.
The Bmw is more fun mostly because it is a stick and it will go sideways very easy. The 500 Was'nt hard when you took a turn hard and punched the gas the firehawks would slip and slid the rear end a little. The Bmw is a big change in power 121hp compared to 245hp. High Speed in the BMW is no fun it's everywhere on the road unlike the 500. As for relaiblity I can't judge that yet because the bmw is so far beat up and I'm trying to bring it back. ;)

One plus on the BMW repairs are so so much cheaper ;)

Its great you had the BMW for a year, rather than the BMW having had you for a year ... :D

One day I will. I'm still keeping an eye out for the 500 so I can try to talk to the person who bought it. Thanks to Alon I know what city it's registered in.
