I've seen nothing that remotely compares in luxury in that price range. And this is literally the first time I've ever heard of any racial association with Jaguar. That's a new one to me.

Same here. I see a lot of black people driving S-Types, but that's a 10 year old luxury car, so no surprises there. I see more black people driving old 7 series and S-classes than I do any type of Jaguar. I think it's just a way for him to segue into his opinion that BMW is a superior product despite his current BMW experience being an '06 530i with a manual trans and the current BMW lineup not being very well received vs. it's competitors.

I wouldn't buy a current 5, but after having an E12 (1980 528i) I had to have another with the I6 to manual...ours is a 2009 528i, which is the LCI E60. Nothing in their current lineup really speaks to me, though my friend has an M6 GC and its unreal.

I'm a fan of German engineering outside of BMWs...I have a German watch (Stowa) and a German gun (HK)...but still, the transmission in the E60 has an insane feel to it. It's as nice as anything you'll ever interact with. I'll have to see what's available next time I'm in the market...but it'll likely be German as it stands.
