Obviously the feeling of driving these 2 cars is way WAYYYYY different. I tell people Accord was my transport, but 530 is my CAR. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />If you really love cars, then E60 is the car for you. But if not, then I suggest get the Accord. High maintenance can very quickly change love to hate if you're not passionate about the car in the first place. I would like to add that this in no way means that the E60 is a more problematic car than the Accord. Take a new E60 and new Accord, you would get similar levels of reliability.Just that being a used car, even if it's well maintained, there are certain wear-and-tear items that have to be changed at certain age or mileage no matter what (or risk even higher $$$ damage later). And yes, BMW parts are definitely more expensive than Honda, and there are more of them to change as well. As for normal service, cost is relatively the same, though of course Accord would be free for first 2 years (assuming they still give the free 2 year service thingy)So if you can take the hit to your pocket, then go for the E60. You will never regret it and look back. If you get the Accord (like I did so many years back), you end up wondering how the BMW will feel like and also dreaming about it. In the end, you end up buying the BMW anyway! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
