My car is one week old today and I still just shake my head and smile every time I drive it. For those of you that have had your 5's for longer periods of time does this feeling go away, or does your car still bring a smile to your face. After looking at the Acura RL, Audi A6 and Gs350 I am so happy with my decision to go with my heart and get the 530i.

I don't have my car that long yet, and I'm still smiling. I hope it doesn't go away any time soon.

After 30 months, I still look back at it when I leave it in the parking lot and think to myself "sweet ride"

Over the years I've had 6 different 5ers (some new some used). Every one has put a smile on my face even the one that gave up it's life to save mine. Once in a while I will drive some other "5 series killer" and the smile turns to laughter. Good luck with your addiction.

It will never go away, its like a damn drug I guess. Probablly why we put up with some of the technical issues that we encounter. If I had a different brand I would probablly get rid of it after a few glitches.

I thought i was going to cry after i traded my 03 540I 6 speed in for my 550I 6 Speed however when I think about how awsome my 540 was i just jump in the 550 and take a corner at 80MPH

You'll never get tired of it. In fact, when I see my old car driving around (03 E39 530i), it still gives me smiles remembering those days too. I stare at my car all the time. I love it. It just grows on me more and more each day. Hell, I think I stare at my new car more than my wife! LOL!

It doesn't get old. As a matter of fact, I was riding around in a loaner 530i on Friday and when I jumped back in mine, my smile was just ear to ear!! Love it, can't get enough of it... don't know what I did before I had it!
