I had my birthday yesterday and turned 45.

The problem is that I should drive a 545iA not a 525iA.

Maybe I have to wait for 5 years and buy me a 550iA.

HBD, Ricracing!
I'm driving a 325i loaner today, and I can say that is way under power compared to my 530i. 550i will rock.

well, keep saving so in 15 years you can afford the 760

the only question remains is do you want the 760i or 760Li?

You'll never be happy if you keep looking up. Look down once in a while. There are some 45 year olds that can barely afford a Hyundai.

I think Ricracing was pointing out, if you are 25, you are driving a 525, he's 45, so he needs to drive a 545....

An E60 is an E60. Whether it is a 525 or a 545 doesn't matter.

I am 45 and I drive a 545 with the full ACS kit. It really doesn't matter so long as YOU feel good. Its your money to spend in whatever way you want.

Frankly, I have seen baldheaded old men driving around in the SLK with hood down; and they don't bother what people think. Come to think of it, they're the ones with the sexy little toys in the passenger seats whilst I've always got my wife who's the same age as me .
