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.

Mine was a fantastic car until it got killed in a hail storm.
The CTS feels like a 5 series. Fewer (potential) electronic headaches too.
Time to get flamed.

Take a test drive in a CTS with 3.6 DI.

I still have the car for now. I am trying to convince the wife to let me order a Aston Martin Vantage v12 but that conversation is not going to well. At least not after the meeting wil the Finacial Planner. I am still thinking of keep the car. I love the luzo ride and it a serious highway car but I do mis my E60 or at least the way it handled.

How about an 2008 Alpina B7. YOu get the best of all worlds. A slightly shorter 7 than your Li, you get a highly retuned sport suspension with great handling and you get 500HP which even in a 7 will smoke most cars. Its rare and a hot looking car.
I have only seen two on the road here in CA in the last year. a Blue one and today saw a white one, both incredible and subtle.

It's a boat. Sell the tug boat and get yourself back in a 5.
