I test drove lots of cars in this price category, Infinity 37, BMW 335i, Acura TL, Mercedes C-class, Hyundai Genesis, Nissan Maxima and Audi A6 3.0T. I actually drove each twice.

There was no comparison to the 265 hp, 425 ftlb torque of this 3.0L i-6 engine. At 1750 rpm to boot! The car handles corners like nothing, responds immediateyl to my power needs and gets minimum 30 mpg and have had it as high at 36 mpg.

When all the other cars were loaded up with all options like I did with my 335d, they came in within $1000s of the price of the 335d and none of them with the performance.

Sad I have to let mine go due to a relocation but I'll simply replace it with one when I get to where I'm going. Won't even shop around unless there is a 5 series in diesel available.
