I'm 45 but when I drive my E60 I feel like 30.
But then again, I'm not old

Hi All
The other day I was approached by a female in her early thirtys who enquired "is that your car?......Very nice! She went on.... I had one of those ...a black one. I took it back because every other one I saw was being driven by old men. I traded it in for a Mini.... Lost ?5K on the trade in. The salesman said it was the first time anyone had brought one back for that reason" I was probably as speechless as the salesman.
Is it a female thing as the logic of this story escapes me..... or are we really all old men? ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
