I'll be stepping out of my 1998 BMW 740iL when the new 545i arrives. Here's my history:
1998 BMW 740iL
1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK 320
1996 Audi A4
1989 Lotus Turbo Esprit
1992 Nissan 240SX
1979 Mazda RX-7
1965 MG MGB
1976 Chrysler Le Baron
The Lotus, Mazda, MG, and Chrysler were not new cars (I may be an old-timer, but I'm not that old).

Well... The coldest day in winter for Hong Kong is probarbly 10 Degree celsius. Honestly, I don't know y homeless people are having problem w/ 10degee??? Especially when there are many shelters in Hong Kong.
I mean, I was living in Toronto for over 10 years, winter there is like negative 20-30 degree celsius, and snow storm like once in 3 weeks.
Well.. of course Hawaii has the perfect weather whatsoever...
I guess you should now seriously consider visiting Hong Kong during winter time to "experience" it.... Or, maybe that is an excuse for your visit???

I sold the RX7 cuz it was breaking down on me, regretfully sold my bike this past summer, and wrecked my S4 this past March, so now I'm driving my new joy around town (545i).

1999 Toyota Solara (co-owner with girlfriend, who is now my wife, still have in in the garage, 150 K miles. Still in Excellent Condition)
2004 Lexus RX 330 (bought to expect my baby, trade in because of excessive engine noise, drive like a turtle, valve noise can be heard from cabin and sound like diesel. Test other RX330 & Highlander -> same results. Trade in for BMW 530i)
2004 BMW 530i (never really satisfy with 225hp, need 545 and SMG)

Just to name the last two that I still own.
1997 BMW 528i that I drive a couple of times a week to hold down the miles on my 545i
Had it since new and have 288,000 miles on it, and it still runs great. Plan on keeping it a lot longer.
Also still have my 1993 BMW 325i with 165,000 miles, but will sell it this year.
Two great cars, so purchasing the 2004 545i was a given.
