My Ride: 2005 545i Black Sapphire Metallic; Sport Package, Black Dakota Interior, Premium Package, Cold Weather Package, Shade Package, Pro logic 7 Premium Sound, Park Distance Control, Bluetooth, Active Steering, Front/Rear Heated Seats and Steering Wheel, Xenon lights
Reading an article on ESPN and found this regarding Phelps upcoming plans...
"Shopping is in Phelps' future, too. After all, he's got a $1 million bonus from his swimsuit sponsor Speedo to burn. Tops on his list is a new car to replace his BMW."
Any guesses on what his current BMW is?
And I guess I can understand the replacement perhaps...Aston Martin > BMW?

Maybe another BMW?
"My friend's in the car business, so he's going to help me," Phelps said. "I've been looking at some Aston Martins and some Maseratis. It would be pretty sweet to get an old-school Aston Martin, some of the old-school [James] Bond ones. That would be sick.""
