Maybe you should go with a brand new 3 series or a G35 instead?

Dang, I'm 32 and I've got a GS. Does that make me old?

wow...u must have amazing intuitive skillz

the E class is for old people

the GS is late 20s - 40s
the 7 series is pretty much for older people but can fix it up a little to make it fit your personality

infinities suck....and the 3 series is too small for me...i said i have a 5 series....

Did he just say Nissan sucked? Rallispec, get the exorcism tongs!

if you really had to ask, 740i.. there is no comparison, how can you compare a BMW with a Toyota?

why does it matter when all you're probably gonna do is slap on some 20's and bump your stock system while driving around Westwood every weekend trying to show off to people who obviously don't care? maybe you should rephrase your question to ask "what would make me look less like a fool, trying to show off in a GS400, or trying to show off in a 740i?" either way, everybody's gonna think that it's your mommy's or daddy's, just like every other kid that drives around Westwood in a $50k+ car. treat others with respect and you'll get respectable answers. otherwise, all you'll get are responses like this. the first few posts actually dealt with your question... then after your little "comment", it started turning into a flame war... although powermac didn't help things by calling you a "jackass", he suggested that you look into a Benz E class, to which you responded "the E class is nasty". Have a little more tact. If people try helping you out, the least you can do is be polite about it.

now, what's wrong with your 5 series? not turning enough heads when you pass by?

Yes I agree there's no feeling better than earning your own money and buying something nice to reward yourself. Moving to DC? Why don't you look at an Audi or something with AWD so you can have some fun during the snowy winters :) My sister just moved out there a month or two ago. I'm trying to convince her to get a WRX wagon.

I used to live outside of DC (in MD inside the beltway). It does snow a bit, maybe an inch or two a few times a year with the occasional big dump of 10+ inches every 5+ years. Of course, even a dusting of snow tends to throw that city into a frenzy of stupid drivers.

You won't need AWD unless you plan on going to WVa for skiing/snowboarding.
