Hey All,
I'm a newbie in the E60 world and here is my concern: I live in France, and want to order one. I'm 32 and ... for us frenchies, this car is not a youngster one. I'm now hesitating between the E60 and the 3 series touring... hard choice, but for me it's only an image thing. What do you think? Should i go for an E60 (honestly)?
Best & Merci,
N.

Image was important to me in the past and now at 45 I don't give a rats ass what anyone thinks.
Buy the car you want and what is affordable. Make sure your putting money away cuz it might look good to drive a nice car but its stupid if your not fiscally balanced.
If you are, and your family is secure, in a good house, good schools, and money for vacations and the things that really matter in life, then get what makes you feel good. Making a smart decision is also important.
If the car makes the man, then its a shallow existance.
Get a 3 touring and look good, have fun, and feel smart!

to this forum.Go for your own favourite. The E60 is a very nice car and I would prefer it above the 3-series, but it should be your choice. The hell with what other people think!
I bought mine at age 34 and the E63 isn't a typical youngsters car either.
I would say: go for the 5-er, you won't regret it for sure.

Maybe not in your territory but here Alfa depreciation is simply massive.

My recent trip across the pond I got to see a bunch on the road and just think they look incredible.
The 159 is a great looking car. I can't speak for its mechanics or ride let alone the financial implications!
I choose my 530i partial for its great resale value.
