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?
For sure she was expecting the usuall question (at least from a South European Guy): "And don't you prefer older Men???"...

Lets be honest. Taking as a base the replies on this post, I would say that the majority of answers I saw here shows that the majority of members driving E60s are younger than the described "female in her early thirtys".

I really think 'MAK' that for sure we're not old men. It was just a lady with a bad approach

P.S. - Do you really think that old Men could work in the perfection with i-Drive????
Old Men go for the Mercedes... Not even Audi's now allow them in...
I really believe that the E60 is car for persons young in spirit, and the age of a person is just a mental thing...

Its funny but I can live with being labelled an old man. I drive my E60 usually far too fast and then when I come home to my 21 year old girl friend, well enough said . Life could be far worse, I could be driving a Mercedes Benz? :thumbsdown:

I must say there are a few cars that will qualify as "old man's car". No offense for any of the owner of the cars listed below"

Any Corvette from 1970 to today
Any Cadillacs (except Escalade for the Ganstas or Goombas)
Lexus ES, LS, SC
