It's a great car, but sadly the affect wears off sooner or later. Other than the car itself, I think it's partly the newness that got me at first. The e60 is now just a mode of transportation, nothing more. :tear:
If it wears off then mod the car and it will be a new car again.

From day 1 to 20 months and 33k miles later still the same feeling. This car is a true jewel and I still love it.

I feel the love when I return from a business trip or vacation. If its an airport parking lot, I often get anxious looking for it, and feel a wave of relief once I find it. You sink into the lush seats, that familiar smell envelops you. You thumb the starter and she pops to life...you ease out of the parking lot, and you know you are home.... Yup...I love my car.

The diary of a E60 540i lover:

Day -2 : Dealer called up to tell me car is in their workshop and going through delivery prep. Invited me to have a look - it was like getting the phone number of a hot girl who said "...call me" and gave me a wink!

Day -1 : Restless in bed. Can't sleep. Can't eat.

Day 0 : Heart pounding quickly as I approached the dealership to pick up my car. Touched it for the first time and it was like giving your date the first kiss.

Week 1 : I knew this baby has a lot of potential, but being a new relationship one has to take it easy. You gotta break it in y'know

Week 2 : Had to travel interstate. Already missing my baby. Had a Ford hire car and it was like going on a bad date. Once you've tasted the sweet lips of a goddess nothing less is acceptable.

Week 3 : Started to go on long cruises. Lotsa foreplay but never followed through. Had to remind myself so many times that I have to break her in first

Week 4 : Nearly 2000kms on the ODO and it was time.... my girl has been broken in and now it's time to really "ride" her . Pushed it as far as I dared and she didn't dissapoint. She purred and grunted as I pushed her buttons but kept the ride steady. Who needs a Pro Logic 7 when you have a V8 engine rumbling through to your loins!! She was built for this! She was sex on wheels!

1st Nov 06 : My baby is feeling neglected. It's my fault..I've been too busy. Time to make it up. Have to organize another outing for a long, hard, sweaty, passionate drive

Gosh darn it. I'm liken this thread.

The longer you own it, the more you drive it, the harder you drive it ... the better it gets. It's magical.

I think it gets stronger over time. I keep noticing new things that reinforce my decision and make me smile. It makes it really tough to drive the wife's car, or a rental on a business trip.


You do know that you can rent BMW's don't you?? Keeps the smile on your face!!
