......................... 5 years from now when you sell that 05 and only have 40k on it, everyone and there mom will be all over it..................
5 years from now!!!God, this is the longest I have ever kept a car for (7 months) and I am already thinking about changing to a CSL or a 911, and yeah if I went with either of them I would get an old merc wagon or similar.
But the only reason that I am holding back is the fact I can do everything in the 5er touring, and the fact it is a joy just to go and get some wood from the diy shop in it, if it was some old run around I wouldn't want to go anywhere anyway.
