40 degrees today in San Francisco. Unseasonably cold and may get colder.
Man it seemed like it was colder! Seemed like it was 15 degrees and blowing cold hard wind too! And that's just the tip of the ice berg too, damn!

Cold here but NO SNOW :'( ....why did I buy this x-drive........ becuse I want to drive in SNOW 
Ok, getting serious - why not focus on what we have and really value our nice cars. There will always be facelifts that you miss because you just bought a car and now you just can?t afford to change.
I look at my cars and just smile every day......I LOVE THEM
Sorry..........
facelift talk again :'(

I agree with the guy, the forum went crazy about the facelift. IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL! Looked at the pics and said Ok 
It's not about the "not afford to change thing". It's about the attitude. Guys it's roughly the same car with some touchups and the 2007 options. Now, talking about affording an M5....

We have 6 C (42,8F) here in Copenhagen today, and it's raining and the wind is pretty strong. We usually run on wintertires this time of the season, but since the tempratures are so high, the wintertires are in my basement, and not on the car.. Well I'm actually glad there isn't any snow, since the car gets so dirty when it snows.
But I would like some snow in the Alps (Austria), I'm going to Austria and skiing in two weeks, and it's not looking good today :thumbsdown:
