My Ride: #1: 2004 545i; 6-speed manual; Sport Package; Mystic Blue with a gray leather interior and Anthracite wood; CWP; Logic 7.
#2: 2010 535xi Touring; Automatic.
5 series touring. If Audi ever made its A8 mega touring/"shooting brake" from the show circuit a few years ago, maybe. Or if BMW did a 7 series touring: wide, long, low, overpowered, with lots of cargo room and 2 teeny kid-size folding seat aft. I know, it sounds like an abomination, but I will not get an SUV, yet family needs will press me for a larger vehicle.

Well if you give me an AMG CLK DTM I wouldn't mind. If you just want a car with no fun go ahead get a MB. But I wouldn't be that cruel to my friends.

Well, I have approximately one year to decide whether its going to be the M5, M6 the 550 or a long shot, the new Porsche Cayman (its gotten some terrific write ups).
