My Ride: 2008 Alpine White 550i Sport, Cream Beige Interior, 6-Sp Manual - retired 9/2011
I have yet to have a single person sit in my backseat, much less myself back there. No one drives my ride but me!

My Ride: G30 M550i
Model Year: 2018
I'm just thankful that my employer, let's just call her "Miss Daisy," allows me to choose the car that I must drive her around in. I'm also thankful that she lost her equilibrium in a freak amusement park accident many years ago so she has no idea how fast I'm taking her from place to place or how many G's I'm pulling on the highway exit ramps. One other benefit is that she's quite hard of hearing so there's never an issue with how loud I play the L7...

Unfortunately, it was a combination of a few rides there (hence the "freak" part of the accident), and one of the rides involved was torn down a few years ago so it's pretty much impossible to duplicate what happened to my dear old Miss Daisy...

at least in the US this car is upper middle class in price range. Nobody is being driven around here in a 5 series.
