When I pull up to a crosswalk, people stare at my car (or maybe I pull up too quickly ) But the i drive is one thing that I like on the car, it gives te car a high tech look when it is on and a clean look when it is off. I just love the system and don't understand why people complaint about it so much. If you like buttons and gauges all over the place than learn to fly, I bet is more fun than driving.

I'm 30 now and own a E60. I always got looks from people but, maybe I'm wrong, I guess what they are thinkg is "this lucky kid is driving his daddy's toy around and showing off". I can't stop thinking if I'm too young for this car?

It's one of the great things about motorsports...never too old, never too young.

The nieghbor's kid (he's 9 years old) is always wanting to talk to me about the current Formula 1 season once he found out I was a fan of the sport too. I remember when I was 9; I wanted to play video games and was least concerned with motorsports.

Well maybe I should say this:
MEN=Motorsports, WOMEN=LV, Gucci, Prada.....
They are willing to pay $2000 for a silly handbag, but we will also be unconscious enough to install a body kit for $4000 or replace rims and rubbers for $5000.
I want to make sure my wife is not around when I post this

I didn't said MEN not = LV, Gucci
I will buy a LV wallet for $400 but not a silly little handbag for $2000. I would rather spend the $ on some USELESS (I mean really useless) UNNECESSARY mods for my car.

There are still very few M-Sports pack E60's in SA, so I get plenty of stares!

Now that I have the 172 wheels, even more stares than ever.
