According to BMW, the average age of an e60 owner is 40+

I'm just curious to know how accurate this is - my wife tells me that my car is too old for me (I'll be 30 in 12 days)

Thanks for participating

Option 3 is supposed to read 31-35
Option 6 is supposed to read 51-60
Option 7 is supposed to read >61

Nah, you're not too old! I just turned 30 last August...

Now an E Class...that's too old. ;-)

Das,

do you have by any chance some pics of an orient-blue with 124-wheels?

Thanks in advance.

BTW: I'm 28 and just ordered a 530d!

Interesting thread. I would never have considered a 5 series below 30. I'm curious why so many younger guys are buying one. Is it because you have kids and need the space or do you just like the styling? Whilst under 30 I always wanted a sports car or coupe as a first choice with a saloon definately being last on the list of potential choices.

I was driving a 330ci until I switched

Mainly because I had a new baby coming along - and it was difficult managing with 2 doors - plus I wanted a 'comfier' ride on the motorway (which I use a lot of)

I had my e60 28 days before i turned 30. I was driving an Audi A3 (180bhp) before that. I am also a business man so i needed to add a little seriousness to my image...

InterWeb thingy........

LOL!!!!!!

Looking at the initial polling gives me more ammo to defend my 'age' to my wife!

Thanks to all who voted!
