Thanks. You have ordered the car in my dream. Hopefully, I can possess one of those when my kids grow older. By then it could be BMW 585......

Welcome.... I'd love an opportunity to drive your future car in winter conditions!
Living in South California and owning a car of my dream it is suffice to say that you do not truly mean what you said.

After 5 months of daily visits to this forum I finally decided to go for the first test drive on the E60. Heck, after a 15 minutes drive, 10 minutes negoiation, I placed the order. The damn paperwork took me 45 minutes though . Didn't get the best discount but it's acceptable.

The lease on my Inifiniti terminates in May, and hence the late delivery of the E60. If I have no kids, and no wife beside me during the whole buying process, I would have picked the 550 with the M sport package. However, being a family guy who hates changing tires during winter, I picked the 530xi non-sport. All in all, this is still the best car I have driven so far. Furthermore, I mastered idrive in 2 minutes--contrary to what the critics say.

Now the wait is just killing me :'( Wish I can get rid of my Infiniti without paying penalty.

Congrats!!! Nice option selection for a AWD E60. I was really tempted to go with Auburn too.

Congratulations on your car--and also on your metaphor. Recently, one person buying a new car described his action as "swallowing the bullet" and another as "hitting the dust." Probably just the excitement of their situations. It's easy to get exicited when one strikes when the iron is ripe.
