My Ride: April 2004 BMW 520i
Default

Hahaha...

Not very original, when my kids (5, 6 and 8) first saw my 520i, they called it right away a shark, because of the fin, but also because of the "eyes" and "mouth". They went up to the front and started to shout and laugh, because they said the car was going to eat them ;-)

Then they immediately decided to call our other car (a medium grey 2004 VW Passat station wagon) "the dolphin" because of the color and the absence of fin. I asked why, and my 5 year old daughter told me "Daddy, you dont know the dolphin's tail is flat while the shark's tail is straight ????". I felt very lonesome for a few seconds

I refer to mine as the "5er" and the other "3er". Simple!
