DETAILED EDITORS' RATINGS
Dynamics
Handling is composed and secure in many situations, but not a threat to BMW. Engine choices include a 3.0-liter turbodiesel and several gasoline engines.
Comfort
The interior is inviting and spacious with generous seat adjustment ranges. It rides a bit softer and quieter than its competitors.
Function
The audio system is hard to use. Other controls are well-located and look great, but don't break any new ground.
Design/Build Quality
The interior is graceful and well-appointed. The exterior proportions and detailing are elegant and upscale.
High Performer Supercharged V8 offered by the E55 AMG.
Luxurious High-quality materials and finishes.
Comfortable Arguarbly the most quiet and soft ride in this segment.
