he tests cars/demos them...so he's getting paid to test drive e60's. His manager's get to drive 550's. Not a bad job to be in....
I'm so jealous.
Will the BMW factory employ me to test their cars in rural Arkansas?
BMWfan05 I'm happy for you that you have such a super job.

not sure if I am happy for you, only because of the long list of issues you've had with your cars

Because i work for the company and the 528i is cheaper than the 535i, and i will only have it for about four months, so why not!!

I don't remember seeing a review on a 528 but would love to read a thorugh one from you since you have been blessed with ability to drive all the models with moderate seat time!
+1, especially since you had your bosses 550 last weekend....

As far color combo, I will get Platnium Gray / Black in a few weeks and a Titanium Silver / Black in July. Im thinking Deep Sea Blue / Gray or Black Leather??

I'll stick with my job and personalize my cars the way i want. I dont know that Im so into changing every 6 months. I like to fall in love for a while. If the constant change is something you dont mind, then you're certainly in the right situation.
All the best

Where do these cars go? CPO?
What's the exact nature of your job if you don't mind my asking? It doesn't seem that you are testing them the way R&D does. I guess managers level get to have these privileges (if not every one that works for BMW)?

These cars are sold as demo's or manfactuer vehicles to dealers and auctions. Some do go as CPO.
