My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I took my E60 (and my wife) on a longish (300 miles) trip to Bar Harbor. Man, oh man, I am in love with my E60 all over again. She was so smooth the whole trip. So polite, yet so wild when pushed and yet so silky smooth. Never in my life I had experienced 300 miles of absolute bliss on a trip. After 300 miles I knew I could do another 300 miles and still feel fresh as a rose. Living in liberal Massachusetts, I'm thinking of starting a petition to allow human/car marriages. My wife told me she won't mind to share as long as she's the only I share a bed with, besides, how the heck am I supposed to fit my E60 on our bed?????

Never tell your wife that you're just leasing her but buying the car. I do my own laundry now....

I concur on the longer trip comfort. I got back from a 500 mile R/T last week, and enjoyed every minute of it. I tell my wife it's difficult, but I'll do all the driving so she can rest. And they say chivalry is dead?
