what's the point...any opinion by me posted to the OP's topic would be lost between the familiar banter seen in every other thread the past few weeks....it would make more sense to just pm luigi.....


but here goes anyway:

Luigi....I say test drive a 550 with your wife as well and see how she like it. IMO, the F01 is too big to be considered sporty and it doesn't sound like you need the extra room. Stick with the e60, all the room you need with great performance....

i'd say test drive the new 7 series. its all new technology, whereas the 5 series is a little dated.

Gene, your opinions are gladly accepted. This one was a good one too.
I agree, Luigi, get either the 550 or M5 if you don't need the space. The M5 can satisfy all your needs - more than enough power, very sporty, and all tech gadgets you'll ever need (just wait until you customize your M button)
Good luck

And yes I AM over 35 and have no need for Viagra, thank you. And, I just checked............................yup, still got a pulse too, must be a good day

It is very nice to be back...

I have perused the forums ever so often (time permitting) but I noticed the change in atmosphere a lil. Hopefully I am back for good.

I can't leave for too long. I love you guys (and gals)

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.
Your insults are totally out of hand and don't belong on these boards. What I said was not pointed towards anyone and you should know better than that. Apologize.
