Re the original question.... here in Oz you take a serious bath on the re-sale of a 7 series (we pay $220k plus) and you can peel off a good $100k within a year or two, so I would suggest take a peek at what the 750 would be worth down the track.... that might just help the decision between the 550 and the 750. Me, I looked closely at the new 7 and I like it a lot... particularly the bigger engined models. I like the extra space. That said, if given a choice between the new 5 series due out and a 750 I will go the 5.

oh yeah....I don't really have anything constructive to add to the argument except.....






Cheers

CWS, just so you know, you are by some margin my favorite poster on the forum.

Keep up the good work and keep on telling it like it is. You're dead on in your assessment.

+1 At least in the top 3.

Yes CWS rocks (at least when he's not cracking on me).

Here we go again with the over 30 or 35 crap Howitzer--depending on your age at the time of posting you stupid f*ck. A tiger never changes its stripes, huh? You just never learn, even after apologizing to a 30,000+ member forum. Sounds like you know quite a bit about Law and Order re-runs and Viagra you vapid piece of shi*t. You really should be banned, if for nothing else, for being an uneducated half-wit douchebag. The OP asks a simple question and you have to take it down to this. BTW: Adding "jk, jk," doesn't make it right. Wanna take me on? PM me you dim-witted POS. I'll run intellectual circles aroud your sorry, racist ass.
HAHAHA.... Dude you are awesome!!

One last thing. Its refreshing to observe someone with the tact, intelect and the balls to invite someone off the public forum to discuss a disagreement. May we all learn from it and spare the vast majority of posts getting off topic, but maybe thats idea and I'm off base.

2009 M3. With that car plus mods you will have an AMAZINGLY PIMPED OUT M3 for the price of a 7. I'd get the M3 over the M5 because of the updated body styling and interior.

Then again, if you're over 35, get the 7 series and realize that life is slowly dwindling into the abyss of a Viagra bottle and re-runs of Law & Order. jk jk!
While this has been a highly entertaining thread, I personally found the over 35 remark to be innocuous.

In isolation we'd probably all agree but it's a case of the straw breaking the camel's back, goodman...

There's some history here!
