My Ride: In the process of buying the right 2006 530i
Post

What is that makes us spend our money on BMW's? I have been waiting since college to get my first BMW, and the wait is almost over. Heck, I could have bought a new boat and new truck, SUV or car to pull it for the price of a new 2006 530i. But, you know what, for me the 530i and BMW in general has always been my dream car. It will give me pleasure every day, and that is what life is all about.

For me, 5 series only - perfect balance/combination of handling and ride quality.

I have no desire to own any other BMW.

True. Owning a BMW is like owning a women. Reliability problem, but it's fun to have it. Also, looks like most women likes BMW. The rest like Mercedes, and some like Jag.

Why do i like them? I like the ride and the security it gives me when driving..specially when I need to apply the break in emergency.

About the comment that women like them? leave me out of it.

I was told one day "such a nice cage but I dont like the bird"

Because I can drive my Bimmer any way I want to -- fast and sporty or slow and sedate, and can switch from one to the other in a heartbeat. I never want to be without one.

The more I drive it the more I like it, especially in DS mode. It's very aggressive.

I love all cars, but BMW's are just the perfect balance between luxury and performace, they are the benchmark that everyone tries to come close to, and yet no one can. I like many other cars, but for an every day driver, nothing compares.
