I think I may get rid of my 7. I a bored with it. I think I want something a little sportier. Perhaps something smaller. I love the luxury of the car but I want something fun to drive again. i am missing my 5 series. Someone convince me I need to keep the 7.

I kept my 740 for a year after I ordered my 535 and just sold it. I just couldn't come to grips with letting it go. I loved it but wanted the sportier feel of the 535. I have moved on and am very happy with the decision and love the sporty feel of the 535. The guy who bought my 740 loves it too!

Marquies, what other car are do you have in mind if not not a BMW? When you say sportier, do you mean as in possibly 2 door or definitely only sportier 4 door?.

Have you thought about 2 or 3 year old, E55 AMG. Great prices on those right now and get the CPO and you are set.

I know what you mean, I really love my 750Li, but we have an E500 also and its a great car to get in and drive the hell out of quickly because it is so easy to manage. Hands down I still love the BMW best though cause it just looks and feels so cool.

Once you get KW V3's and some 3 piece 22"s, you wont want to get rid of her.

I bought the car 7 months ago. I am not sure what I would get if leaving bmw. A 2 door would be out of the equation unless it had a decent back seat. I dont know what to think. I do like the Audi a5 but I may just keep the car. There is not a whole lot out there that I am crazy about. Cars have become very generic imo.
