I would be pissed if someone put a beer can on my car.... and every other thing, keys, bags.....
Once I came out in the parking lot and this guy put his coffee on MY car, gave him "the look".

Just because I wipe down the front bumper ever time I get home does not mean I am obsessed with my E60....I'm not........ I'm not obsessed. ...... I do the same thing on my 08 Z06 ever time I get home. I hate to see my cars dirty but I am not obsessed. I keep my Tundra just as clean but it stays outside sometimes so the dust just sticks to it like glue. On the other hand I have a Honda Civic and while I do clean it, its the all around park anywhere rock chipped front bumper , leave anywhere overnight car. We all need one of these as well.

I better call the clinic and make an appointment!

TOO TRUE! I almost can't look at normal non-sport, stock 5'ers now and think there i just something wrong with them (especially pre-LCI). Example:

Before mod addiction:

Are you obsessed with your BMW?-lol.jpg

AFTER mod addiction:

Also had to vote a clear Yes - I am not at all into modding or those things, but I recognize myself in several comments on how we turn an extra time just to watch our E60 before leaving it and so on. This is my first bimmer (-09 525 xDAT), and I fear it's so addictive in the end that no other car can ever replace it..... And, driving suddenly became FUN again after gettin' a propeller on the steering wheel!

Great Thread.

My E60 could probably be considered an obsession from time to time !

Made it. Went to Autozone, bought the .99c chrome emblems there. I then purchased plastic gloss black spray paint and put about 5-6 coats on each letter and put it on myself. Turned out really nice and looks OEM. Local shop I went to was floored since they've never seen anyone put the engine name on the rear before. I was also pulled over by a police officer last week for having an expired plate sticker (was late a couple weeks), and he said: "What's an M FIVE FOUR? I've heard of M5 and M3 but not an M54." I told him it was a 530 and M54 was what was under the hood. I just think its funny because it just makes people go "HUH? is that a new one?" heheh. I got the idea from another member here who put N62 on his trunk. Sorry, but after putting a lot of $$$ and into a car it deserves SOME sort of different badge.

P.S. - M5 mirrors just came in by the way from NVD Autosport in Thailand!!!! Weoooooo!!! Gonna hopefully get them on this weekend, can't wait!!!
