having owned three generations of e-classes, from 1990 onwards, and am now looking potentially at a 5 series...
I would like to know, i am used to the up right star on the hood of the mercedes. Is there any kind of hood ornament for bmw, i ask this because I like that it helps me track well when I drive and its a lot of fun, operates kind of like aiming device too.
