My Ride: 05 545i loaded!
I lost the M5 
I think it went for 32k so I guess the 2 front runners now are John's 545i 6MT and the 550i SMG. I really like the 550i and if it was a 6MT it would be sold. I am going to drive it next week so we'll see...

My Ride: 04 525i sport, premium, winter, xenon. xm satellite radio, navwithtv dvd system, 1 jl 10w7 sub powered by xtant 1001x amp. 20x8.5/10 on nitto nt555 rubber. acs roof and decklid spoiler, breyton front spoiler.
Exactly. Plus the auction prices shot up this week. My buddy sold an 06 well optioned with 40kish miles in blue book good condition for 38,450 and 2 others in same condition/mileage went for 37k+ and none of them were CPO'd. Meanwhile there's cars sitting around privately for $35k for months. This car market is crazy.

o i don't have champagne pockets either... I just work with extended warranties on a daily basis and realize who the one's making out are (obviously, not the consumer.) I would rather take care of my own bills then have someone make money off my purchases. This is my personal opinion and how I've lived my life and I take care of my possessions and maintain them, and the repair bills never end up costing me as much as a warranty, never the less, freak problems do happen and I understand why these are available but I'm a gambling man and so far (not to jinx myself) i've come out on top.
I have the same attitude as yours hence the fact that I never buy any extended warranty even though the Mrs always get hooked in, even for the small purchase. My train of thought is within couple of years, the product I own will be either too outdated or will not perform to my standard and it's time for me to replace it. As for the car itself, I usually drive it for 3 to 4 years max then start searching for an upgrade.
