In one of Armen's pics and got me thinking about something:
You know how when you see a Lambo or some exotic car, it's usually an old man and young girl? It seems old guys like to drive very loud cars to pick up girls but end up getting divorced (and broke from it) because of one aspect they all overlook: the fact that everyone's taking pics of the car and posting it online or youtube! hahahahah
A friend of mine's dad got busted this way, driving around with young girls in an orange Lambo--his mom saw videos from YouTube and he got busted big-time--lost it all to the wife.
Anyways, that pic in Aermen's portfolio of that orange Lambo with a very old man & a young girl reminded me of that story.

Even here in the States you're morely likely to see an M5 than a 550i. If I recall, there are more M5s sold each year here than 550i; that was, until the gas prices went bonkers.

We didn't want the 19", we prefered the esthetic of the 18.

I'm not so surprised to learn that it's the same thing in the United States...
550i is pretty rare compared to M5.
At first, my parents wanted an M5. But I showed them the 550i and said that it was more reasonable, more versatile, and that it doesn't drinkl so much gasoline than the M5...
My parents loved it, then we bought it on January 2007.
