i think they just dont want to be seen as rich people..humble. its a good thing though. I like that.
but..im still curious with the true reason..hmm.

 

The reason they do that it's to make the others believe that the car isn't so fast as it really is. It's very easy to see a Porsche 911 being beaten by a BMW M5 in a autoban at 300km/h...... don't forget that they can drive in some autobans at that speed.

The main reason in Germany is enviousness.

Being successfull in your job/company should not be shown to openly.

Besides that, I am running my own business and visiting customers in a $ 80k car is not really a wise thing if you are negotiating a deal .

PS: In germany we drive very fast - most BMW-drivers do. I did yesterday a trip to Frankfurt (from Duesseldorf) and back. On my way back: 230km in 1:40 h - driving a slow 520i (waiting for my 530d).

 

Waschbaerbauch,

what color combination did you order?
I'm having doubts on mine. (530d)

Silver gray/Beige OR orient-blue/beige

The rest:
Exclusive Pack
Automatic
124 wheels
...

Thanks in advance.

My 530d will be Orient Blue/Beige.
122 wheels.
Arriving in the 1st week of April.
dvw, the blue it's just great!
My previous 525d E39 was like that, just perfect.

@ David:
I don?t know how old you are, orient-blue/beige is more the age 50+. On the other hand, I?ve never seen Silver gray/Beige, could be nice. If you like to gamble and you?ve never seen the combination, go for it <_<
