As my screen name indicates,I am an old man(soon to be 75).I am presently driving a 2008 550I which has been a great car,no warranty problems,no recalls,still runs like new.I am ready for a change and am waiting for the C450 to be introduced.I have had high performance cars all my life,and the desire is still there.A few years ago I would beinterested in the C63,but I guess I have mellowed some.I prevously had a 2004 BMW 545I which held the quickest 1/4 drag times record for 9 years(13.64)until someone posted a better time this year.I originaly was going to buy the C400,but the C450 seems a better fit.Can't wait for the introduction.

The C450 will likely be a great luxury car of its type, and fast, but make sure to drive it before buying. Your 5 Series was before BMW lost its way a bit on chassis (steering/handling/ride mix/feel) with the F10 platform, so you may be used to/expecting a certain level of feel and feedback. Make sure you're satisfied with the dynamics before signing on the dotted line! The change I was ready for had me going in the other direction, although we'll probably replace our E with another E next gen, as the "boss" still loves her MB!
