LOL MrFish!

"Good advice"?  LOL!

The wealthiest man I know drives a Honda Accord to work.  He's worth nearly a billion dollars.  Kinda tells me that he's too smart to try and define his worth or status with a car :D

BTW.. if you're going hard-core status... any BMW merely says "Couldn't afford a nice Mercedes" :D

Status? Blah! Fug status, I want a nice fast car, that fulfills my mid-life crisis, that gets reasonable gas milege, and something that I can take to the track now and then and have some fun!

Now, how to get the gun rack attached to the back window?  Any helpful hints?  :cool:

yeah... agreed that it is stupid to have your car 'say something' about you -  one sure way to spot a teen on a prom date or a guy who just blew a week's earnings is to find the stretched limo with all the flash, as the millionaire will always be in a subtle towncar or something since they dont want people to notice and mooch off them!   :)

- i never really thought of it as being about status, (though i am sure my boss did - he was from singapore wore a ton of gold and bad cologne and like talking about his money ad naseum) to me it is more something about the middle choice.

i agreed with him to the extent that you should either buy the best one or the most accessible one - a 5 series seems like a waste since you get roughly the same performance and a damn fine car from the 3 series. if you are gonna shell out that much for the 5, then why not just get the 7!?

i mean to me, the 5 series says you dont have enough cash for the best one but you desert the 3 series just because it is the least. which means you are probably buying it for the wrong reasons - "look mine's 2 better nya nya" i dunno it is a stupid argument either way - its totally subjective, i just have a 'thing' about the 5 series, so sue me. -    ;)

DJV you beet me to it.

M5 IMHO *the* best sports car you can get for anything around that price range. Blows toys like most of the viper series and the new and old nxs's out of the water, great car.

Good taste Rip, the 3.0L will hold you off a little longer then the others, but you'll still be puten a chip in it soon if you plan on going to the track.

Drive fast.

Watching the movie "Finding Forrester" I discovered that the BMW emblem is representative of a propeller spinning in a blue sky as they made engines for the Luftwaffee during WWII.

Mid life crisis ripsnort?

Damn, I considered you YOUNG!

You're what, early 30's?

I expect to be a brat til I'm about 40, and then I'll mellow out til I hit 50 and the REAL mid life crisis.

wha? i dont agree with that. bmw stands for bavarian motor works (bayerisch motoren werke) and they take their symbol from the coat of arms of bavaria:

    movies are a bad place to learn things   :)
