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.

But would you actually pull the trigger and buy it? I could technically afford it but I'd have no money in the bank left after I did it, so there's no way I'd even consider it. How many millions would you need in the bank so that you'd actually really buy a 599. I wouldn't do it unless I was sitting on at least 20 mill. That'd be my comfort point at which I'd think buying a $300k car is comfortable.

It'd never happen though. My price-no-object car would be a 997 Turbo Cabriolet. The difference in performance (power and handling) that the 599 has over the 997T is something that I'm not talented enough to exploit I wouldn't get close to the 997T's limits.
$20 mil might be a bit much. I bet most people who drive 5 series cars probably have a net worth of $300K, excluding their house. If they drive a $50K car which would be 1/6 of their net worth, I would think that they could buy a $300K car if their net worth was somewhere around $1.8-2 mil range which would make $300K 1/6 of that.
