I’d go Infiniti. Living with a late model Japanese Car >>>> Living with an older bimmer. The Volvo’s certainly nice too. I’d just prefer the Infiniti.
This is quite a step up over a 15 year old Buick. Must be one hell of a job you have lined up. :tup:

Your list of possible cars is the same as my list of possible cars. LoL. Except the m45, because no matter how much I love that car, I cant buy it because it doesnt come standard.
I wanted a 530i, and v70r but the maintenance costs also are stopping me from committing to buying one.
From what I have read on the 5series and s60R/v70R, they are both going to need a complete front suspension overhaul at some point in their (relatively) early life.
If you look at the basic specs of the three cars, they are all pretty much the same mileage wise, and front what I can tell after sitting in all of them except the M45, comfort too. But I would guess that the BMW is going to out handle the Volvo, and definitely the M45.
2004 M45:
MPG 17/23---------16/22
2005 s60R:
MPG 18/24---------16/23
2003 540i: I chose the 03 because I am going to assume your not a Bangle lover. LoL
MPG 18/24-----------14/21
2004 Audi A6:
MPG 18/25-----------16/23
those are all the MPGs i got from Fuel economy.gov

lets just say its a 150% increase in salary.
I have been going by edmunds.com stats for a while now, I am not really too sure how accurate fueleconomy.gov is. They say my Camry gets 17 and 24 when I avg. 25. And I am not really a conservative driver.
fueleconomy.gov has really low MPG ratings because they have everything adjusted for the new epa standards
infinity is so pimp, the cars are soo soo nice. my buddy had an 03 G35 and it was just so nice, god damn i want one now
get the m45 they are pimp as fuck, and you dont see many, and when u do see one cruising around i bet u stop and look at it.
