I agree with the first part. I don't with the second one. In a way the fact that i come more often to the cleaners makes me even closer to my car. That carbon black is a killer when it's very sunny outside. Then at night it turns back to the full "panther went out to hunt" look.

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

I have no desire to own any other BMW.
I dunno man.. the 6 is pretty damn nice..
I dunno man.. I think 6 is pretty over priced...

Everytime an E60 drives by I would turn my head (same goes for a Ferrari) but you can't drive a Ferrari everyday and I can't afford one. So just need to experience this feeling for myself and as of today, I still get people turning their heads when my E60 drive by.

But just want to say I still turn my head to check out some MB, not that I like them but just want to do a simple survey and I found that most of the people that drives MB are 1) middle age bald men either in suit or polo shirt for the weekend 2) clueless middle age women that drives their husband's car because they need to take their kids to school, otherwise they might opted for a taxi 3) young men with a bad taste that drives a previous generation C class that thinks they can fool people into thinking that their C180 is a C36 with an AMG kit and a DTM spoiler.

It's funny, but I've got the same disease. I'll notice an E60 across 6 lanes in a parking lot on the other side of the street. I'll notice other BMW's, Ferrari's, and Lambo's, but no MB's unless driven by a hot female driver. I notice alot of G35's and Z's pulling up and cruising next to me. I think the detailed Jet Black color just catches their eyes.
