Lol I have the plan for you. Keep the 530 as your dd and when you can, get an m3 for your fun car.

The 530i obviously won't be as fast, but you made a good decision with a bigger car. I think the 5 is a much better looking car than the 3 also.

I got a deal on this car that's the reason I got it, I want to individualize it woith some mods, the first thing I want to do is to wrap the roof black or charcoal, the car is titanium silver, I have searched for images of a silver car with black roof but found nothing so your input is appreciated
I also bought a replica of the AC Schnitzer front lip and the trunk spoiler, I thought about the M5 front but in my opinion it looks like the center was the victim of a parking stop.
You guys can give me feedback on this and any other ideas to help a fellow Bimmer owner.

Thx
