Is it Just Me, or are we all a bit nuts about our E60's ?

My girl friend is mad because my pc and cell phone wallpaper and screensaver is my car rather than her.

She even got more angry when I look at other bmw than sexy girls. She would like to send me to a psychologist.

I so much feel you. May i point out the better alternative when in the magazine store...i always look at the car mags then at the sexy girl mags
PS: I forgot that sometimes i may alter the whole trip for the whole familly if the road that we use isn't that good (and there are alot here). Also my friends understood that i don't like so much lending my car on to other people's hands, and i go crazy if someone gets in my car and dusts and scrapes the door entrance with the foot (why don't they just put the foot inside onto the carpet? why? is the foot that heavy? is the car that tall? Hmmm that makes me so angry), also i hate when i take chicks in the back and they get in the car on only one side for some reason and then dust the console in the rear with their feet, AND most of the time when i finish work or whatever and even if i'm a bit tired i go home and before a mile or so till home i make a turn and head to a good stretch of road into the opposite direction of my home just to have a go, and all the people think i'm crazy washing the car for 2 hours explaining them why it takes so much, and that i'm crazy when i brake too hard causing extra brake dust when the rims is in perfect condition and shine (well that get's erased if another car seems to want to have fun) and so on.......

Funny enough, I'm in a similar boat... My wife & I used my 5er as one of the cars in our wedding and we got a professional photo with it on the day. That photo was my desktop wallpaper until recently when I saw the "There's no better way to fly" wallpaper on this forum and switched it over.

First day the wallpaper has changed, the wife mentioned she should have known better than to think that I had the old wallpaper because it contained her when in reality it was the picture of the car I wanted all along...

Yup... bit nuts about my E60...

The fellow who bought my set of 124 wheels and RFT tried to explain to my wife that guys concern with their cars' appearance is similar to a woman who breaks a nail. The world is not the same until it is put right again.
Exactly! I have two rims that are rashed, and I will not feel quite right until they are fixed - hopefully tomorrow. I do so enjoy this car. I live on the water and suppose I could get into boating, but I drive my car every day and love it. Probably in another couple of years I will want more power, but for now I am totally satisfied. Great combination of handling, power, and amenities. I love comfort access, Sirius, Navigation, etc. etc.
