This might not be for you but perhaps the 535 is. With examples of the E60 variation going for as little as $19,000 (with mid level mileage) they are truly the common man's BMW and arguably one of the best bang for the buck rear wheel drive sedans on the road right now. My personal example is a 2010 M-Sport but you…

I don't disagree... Versus the Acura and the Lexus I think I'd go with the Lincoln too.

Hey Dean. No indicators on the rear map lights at all on the car I had. Perhaps that function wasn't working. Either way, it looks cheap and I don't want people's grubby fingers touching a part of the car that's difficult to clean.

I would like to award you one internetz. Bravo.

Oh man I thought it was just me. I went there based on the "vault is open" stories I saw here and I was so excited. The vault wasn't open when I went so I just did the regular museum and I was in and out in 30 minutes.

I was really surprised to like this car as much as I did. I was going to re-iterate all the great things about it but instead I'll just copy and paste a review I did on our local car forum. Enjoy! (or don't):

You know, I understand where you're coming from... If my adult child isn't mentally stable I wouldn't go out and buy him a gun. So by that reasoning I can understand why it wouldn't be prudent to buy your kid a fast car if he has a history of being an ass.

Ok but again, what is wrong with buying your son a 333hp vehicle if he's a legal driver and you can afford it? And then where do you draw the line? Are cars under 300 hp acceptable to buy your kids? And at what age do you consider them an adult? What if he was 30 and they bought it for him? Are they still able to…

Even if they did buy him the car though, they bought a legal car for a legal driver. There was nothing done that was against the law here other than the poor decision the driver made. There is nothing worthy of a lawsuit here.

He's 23... His parents have absolutely NO say in whether or not he's allowed to drive a high power car. Likewise, you can't just start stripping younger people of things that could potentially kill others. The list would be staggering.

Actually the fuel pump issues are all but gone. You just don't hear about them any more and BMW extended the warranty on them to 125,000 miles regardless of year.

The M5 is an amazing car, probably as close as you can get to a daily driver exotic that can carry the kids and has a usable trunk. The problem is that the maintenance on it is about as much as an exotic car and when stuff breaks (and it does often) the cost to repair is exorbitant.

I just can't stand the interior of the last generation 7 series and they had a rather anemic engine for their size. The 4.8L V8 was sufficient for the 5 series but it lacked in the 7 series.

I get so bored so quickly. I used to want to keep them all forever but now it seems like I buy something and then I want something new or different 6 - 12 months later. Let's take a journey through the last 24 months of my automotive life...

I remember the first time my brother pulled into the driveway with his brand new S5. It was an amazing car and worth more than anything I ever imagined I'd be able to buy. What I loved most was the lighting on the car. The LED DRLs were like nothing I'd seen before.

Totally agree on COMAND biting the big one but iDrive isn't far behind and I say that as the owner of a 5 series with the most recent iteration (sans the 2013 cars). It's just not good. It's far more intuitive than it used to be but it's still just bad. The only reason it's more intuitive is because BMW stole away…

The spotlight is on the product and so far this has been one of the best run vehicle startups in recent memory at least in terms of PR, buzz and marketing style. Elon states things on his own much like Steve Jobs did. The media just happens to hang on his every word.

I think for Tesla it's a big announcement. The original announcement was pretty substantial and while it was a groundbreaking move at least as far as how vehicles are generally sold, there were some pretty profound flaws, least of which was the matching of the S class's residual value, deducting things like how much…

I'm not sure that's a sustainable long term business strategy. A battery is a consumable and I don't think anyone reasonably expects Tesla to cover it's replacement. I also don't think batteries are a factor that's holding people back from purchasing the car. They can't seem to make them fast enough as it is.

As soon as I saw the picture of the SHO I was immediately prepared to disagree with whatever you wrote until you acknowledged that the SHO truly is a miserable car, just with a great engine (much like the original!).
