Good point Vlad

I love my e60 so much. I've only owned it for 6 months, but I love every mile I've put on it. Although I have the N52B30, 525i, it is still plenty quick enough for city driving(with AC off), and handles it self very well on the interstate. The 6-speed is the nicest manual I've ever driven with the exception of a 09 Z4, and the car itself is just awesome. Quickly accelerating the straight 6 through the gears feels so smooth, and can always make me happy if I'm having a shitty day.

I love the smell of the interior... I love the hugging side bolsters.... I love how when you are on an incline or hill with it in first(clutch held in) and you let your foot off the brake, the brakes hold the car for 2 seconds, then lets go .... I love the design, the long hood, the dashboard, the mods and retrofits available... The E60 is just amazing.

I honestly do not ever see myself getting rid of this car, but definitely upgrading it and modding it. BUT maybe down the road I'll save up and get a nice E46 M3 to park next to my E60 and have both!

BMW E60, you ROCK!!!

I'll just leave it at that

Amen. Brother.

Don't accept anything less!

So far, I've found the E60 to be effective against:
-bitchy wife syndrome
-bad moods
-headaches (and almost any aches)
-slow lanes
-boring roads
-boring cars
-boring drivers
-saving money for anything else other than mods
-getting out of the said E60...

I'm sure these are just a tip of an iceberg, as E60 seems to work to alleviate almost any type of ailment

When I trading my E46 M3, I thought i will for Benz, they had nice Benz with 35,000 miles, sport pkg, but after driving it and then driving 550i, I end up with 550, even Benz was 1000 less.
But before M3 I had E46 325, so I was going to buy AMG C55, but end up with M3 anyway.
