Football, actually you're right. I was rared by two college professor's who pushed arts and academia... she was rared as a wild flower child in Tokyo! I like wine, she likes beer. I like figure skating, she likes b-ball. I like skiing, she likes snowboarding. I liked the E60... She wanted to get another Porsche. LOL I guess I am lucky if I would take the "stick about of my bum" as she says!

I got a 545 with Steptronic because my wife can't drive a manual. What happens is we go to a party or event, I have a few drinks, and my wife has to be the one to drive home. The problem is, I like showing up in the 545 instead of her little Acura.


My last car was a manual, and I do notice the steptronic in D mode is a little "lazy" for my liking, I much prefer DS, but I am still in the break-in period!


I should have got a manual.

My wife loved her Infinti FX SUV till I got my 545 w/Steptronic. Now, she tries to hijack my car at every available opportunity! Should have got the 5-speed!

Mine normally drives the guts out of her mini cooper.

Just imagine what happens when she drives the steptronic 535!
I'm used to it, but when i see a pale white mother in law crawling out of the car i can't help the grin on my face

Nice one!

A few weeks ago I had a silver E60 while mine was in for some work. When my ex saw it she says "Wow, this car is massive! Much bigger than yours. Why didn't you get one of these".

Does Mystic Blue make the car look smaller or is she just trying to recreate our painful bedrooom dialogue???
