Well I appreciate that you edited this post from your original posting. No the 545 is not the most expensive car that I could afford and I guess my signature shows that. I bought the 5er because it meets my needs. Besides. I would rather have multiple nice cars than 1 really expensive ride. I am currently looking for a third car for the stable and not buying the most expensive car I could afford gives me that luxury.
My mustang was a car which I raced and that is what I did with it. I was dragging people for money. I added the 375 next to it to show that I may know a few things about cars. I build that car myself and did a ton of wrenching to add 150+ over the stock version and that did not come buy the use of N02.
As your comment about the Cowboys vs Giants.... I am confused.... those are two completely different teams... Kinda like BMW Vs. Mercedes Not the Cowboys Vs Cowboys practice squad.
My whole point is that the purpose of the whole 535 vs 550 debate is more than just competition. It is more along the lines of jabbing at another fellow 5er by there decision to buy the 550 over the 535 and acting like that 550 owner made a bad purchase because the over spent on a car which performance can be had by a lesser price car.
You also stated in your first post "Many of us 535'ers discussing 535/550 performance came from 545's which was the biggest baddest 5er at the time. Now we have the 535 with the software upgrade to fill the slot." This to me supports my argument that you still belive that the 550 owners made a mistake and bought the back up to the baddest 5er below the M5.
I guess it just seems to me that these types of post do nothing but try to start conflicts between board members.
