Just watched the re-run of 5th gear with tiff caning the M5....Mrs diesel turns to me and says
"surely one of those would be a better family car than an M3"
rapidly followed up by......"lets see how the finances stack up"
followed by " A 5 is much more 'you' than a 3".........
I sure do love my wife.......now when/how/what options/etc etc etc
more info as and when!!!
Looks like all the praying does pay off and thanks, thanks and thrice thanks Tiff, 5th gear, everyone.

Green light ... GO.
The only problem with the M5 is that it will take too long to get and by then the fair Mrs. D. will likely have a different idea, as most spouses have a statute of limitations of less than 30 days on decisions such as this.
Best of luck ... we are all jealous.

My Ride: 2005 545i SMG. Titanium Grey with Grey interior and Anthracite wood.
My wife supprised me also, it was totally her idea for a new car and she wouldn't budge on anything but a 545 SMG eventhough I am GM Family and could have gotten a steal on a CTSV or STS.
