I genuinely know of a guy who drives a 645Ci who didn't know how to use the bluetooth facility in i-drive after over 6 months of ownership!
His car is trashed with a broken door mirror and scuff marks on the front bumper and down the passenger wing. He always has to have the latest car just for show but then never looks after it and rarely has it washed. Incredible that people can treat such high value posessions with so little respect.

Marty,
Afraid not. The E90 was temporary (long story). The 997 is the result of frittering away accumluated savings in a less than sensible manner and the Cayenne replaced the E60 as my company car. The cars on order are to replace the Porsches in 18 months to 2 years time.... well that is the current plan at any rate

I've a close (wealthy) friend who liked the look of my 330 cab, she asked me what make it was and where I had got it, I pointed her in the direction of the dealer.
I saw her 1 week later with a brand new red 330d touring.....Knowing the salesmen quite well I asked them how the deal had gone, They loved her, she went in and asked for a BMW , she was shown various showroom models and bought the 330d touring .....wait for it........because it was RED, if they'd had a red 760, she'd have bought that!!!!!!
Should have sent her to a ferrari dealer
