My 545i is a toy.
I was a member on m5board.com and "almost" bought a Black / Imola Red 2003 M5. I really like the E39 M5's but figured I could get a real good deal on a E60 545i.
So I will just have to wait until I can afford the E60 M5which is what I really want! Until then I'm storing the car during winter and doing the Dinan mods in the spring. I'm also having a ton o' fun learning about how fantastic these cars really are! By Summer 2010, I'll have my M5.

while looking at a few threads here i have seen that some (most it seams) treat there E60 as a toy & not as an every day run around?
i use mine as a runaround, and have a few toys that i dont eat/drink in and tend to "pamper" a little.
so im curious, how many of you use your car everyday, and how many as a "weekend" toy?
for weekends i use my 2006 skyline r35, or my land rover defender 90 challenge truck (for playing)
