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

My Ride: My 1st was an '06 530xi, Titanium Silver w/ gray dakota leather, sport pkg. & Nav.
Now my 2nd is an '08 650i CP, Space Gray, Blk Dakota, Sprt. Auto, HUD, Sprt. Pkg., Prem. Sound, High Beam Ast. & Comfort Access
My car is one year old and I still cannot wait to drive it every day. I am not sure what I would do if I could not afford another one when this one goes back.

The feeling doesn't go away. Especially when the car just had an oil change, I love it everytime it had a service because the new oil seems to make the car faster. So you get on, drive it and steps a little harder.

I know in 4 years time I will still have a smile on my face.
but the 5th year I know I will not smile any more because the F10 will be out.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who thinks that!!!But to answer the original poster, nope... the feeling doesn't go away... until the F10 comes out anyway.

I think there are lots more fun cars to drive, probably better looking ones, and yes cars that are even better in terms of fit and finish but as an overall package I think my 520D M-Sport is SUPERB. Just done 10,000miles in 5 months in total comfort. Average about 47MPG and with perfectly good performance. It has my total respect!

ditto, hard to explain it. It was a great weather day today in NJ, left work a little early and detailed the old girl today, wash, quick wax and conditioned the seats. Pretty proud of myself, got it all done it 2 hours, lots of practice I guess

drove to chicago (my home town) and back today 430 miles. I do this trip often (that is why I've already got 60k miles). Love the car!
