How many 5 Series cars did you have during that time? Which models were they?
I had an 93 E34, 97 E39, and a year with an 04 X5, and then in 06 I got the E60. Actually it has been about at least 13 years since my first 5.

Good luck Chappy -- be sure to check in once in a while and let us know how much you miss the SMG!
I will definitely miss the SMG. It was a very tough decision. BTW, Senna is one of my favorite F1 pilots, those days of him and Prost going at it was what made me a F1 diehard.

This forum has been a great resource of information for my beloved E60. I enjoyed all of the great quips, banter and just plain exuberance of the group here.
This will be the first time I won't have a 5er in my garage in over 10 years.
Thanks to all for all of the support with my 5.
Cheers all
After 10 years in a 5er you've earned your spot.....no need to quit.

Sorry to see you go, but think about how lucky you are to end up with a Saturn Vue.... Take care.

I made a financial decision not to take advantage of the good 2009 lease rates and so I am handing in my O7 530. I love the feel and plain fun it provided for the last 3 years. This will be the first time I won't have a 5er in my garage in over 10 years.
The organization I work for provides company vehicles for it's field employees and the option of driving a Saturn Vue was too hard to resist.
Maybe over the summer I'll get something fun for the garage, a 993 (my favorite car) or a 1 series.
I know I am going to take advantage of the launch control on SMG a few more times before the end of May.

Thanks to all for all of the support with my 5.
