i love my car! its looks, the gadgets, performance and attention it attracts bla bla bla.
i can't help to linger around it after i park.
2 things which really puts a smile on my face comes to mind to share among the community here.
First, i really enjoy accelerating through curves, elbows and bends following the race line, while all others have to slow (brake lights up). i just fly by them silently.
Second, i got a big kick for feeding mercedes (in particular) some dust for lunch each and every time i see one.
that's just the kid in me.

I'm just in love with everything about my car (except the engine). And i've been asked by people whether my car is a m5 a few times just because of the quad exhaust.

It's the total package really but if I had to pick the thing that makes me smile everytime, it's gotta be the voice activation, no question. That is just too cool!
"CD 4, track 3"
Why bother with the iDrive? Just get right to the point!
...and 330ft/lbs of torque doesn't suck either but I don't think I'm smiling yet from that, probably more wide-eyed amazement at this point.

As I make turns that very few other cars can make, I wonder what the people watching are thinking.
I'd like a picture of their faces or to hear their comments.
