well come on you can't drive a nice car and dress all trashy, cuz someone may see you and think you are either the valet guy or you stole it 
I like the Audi S8, oh yaaaaaaaaaaaa.
And what's up w/ Audi's kicking ass at the La Mans races, mannnnnnnn, it's always them winning

Euphoria: Audi is kicking some Le Mans Le Ass. The reason is the quattro drive nothing drives better than a quattro system. My parents drive E320's with the 4Matic, they have both lost control of thier cars while driving high speeds on snow and ice. I my self have not lost control yet. Not to gloat but I just placed my order for my new 2005 Audi A6 with the color option of Canyon Red. I like BMW's it's just ever growing up my friend and I have always been competitive and it turned out that he always drove BMW's and I drove Audi's. Both are good German Cars. What about the RS6 you gotta give it props.

Yeah both are great engineered cars. RS6, come on man, you can't go wrong w/ that. I love the red color they got on the audi's. It's not cheesy red, it's kinda dark and looks nice on the A4 and A6.
I'm surprised Audi hasn't gotten into the SUV business yet.

Well I'm only 28
I started w/ the 3 series, then got a 5 series, which is currently for sale (the one in my avatar), and now I got the 7. I am getting married next year, so I need a big comfy car for the big family that my fiance and I have

euphoria. i purchased my '98 740 il in august 03. what a sweet car even though it was a little high on the miles.
i couldn't swing the new car payment w/one kid headed towards college and 5 growing boys .
but definitely the sweetest car that i've ever owned! matter of fact, it is soooo sweet that the wife took the keys and hid them the other day so she could drive it!!!
her car is a '01 chevy 15 passenger van. a little envy goes a long, long way!:hilarious
it will be replaced in a couple of years by an updated version w/some performance upgrades from the gitgo. i find that anything real cool that i want after the fact gets kicked to the curb...ahhh the life of being a parent.:sleepy: :sleepy:

euphoria. :sleepy: true. i've learned that ya gotta be like the military about aquisition of equipment and the keeping of such.
yep. many years ago i did the biking thing and ended up w/ a merlin extralight w/dura ace components. i also purchased my original aquarium. if i had to do it today, i most probably couldn't divert that much cash flow to support daddy's hobby.:cheer:
but because of the fact that i had the stuff before i got married, it is easier to say that it is an replacement/upgrade of equipment instead of doing the "congressional hearings" about the brand new purchase.:happyfish
i'm not sure if the new 7 has caught my fancy yet, i just know that the e-38 style just does it for me. and there won't be any brand spankin' new cars from the dealer because of the toddler issue. in august my 4 year old threw a rock and i eventually found it on the trunk and didn't think much about it except that i would whip him later...about 10 minutes later i was looking at the car a little closer and found the rear glass was broken the the tune of $1200
when i buy used i don't feel so bad when it gets dinged.
then in the first part of sept, my college daughter got in a car accident and didn't tell anyone until i saw the car the next morning (which happened to be my wedding anniversary)
and then on the day we were going to pick up the taurus (her car to use), momma center punches a grayhair in a pontiac grand am
the van survived. the grand am is a throw a way. mass of vehicle wins every time. she no longer wants a mini van.
that's where all my new tank money has been going for the last several months.

Take it from me. someone who spent 2 years changing oil, you dont want to do that. lol. 200 dollars is pocket change for someone with enough loot to by the car in the first place.

Well for now the car is under warranty, so everything's on the stealer, ahemm dealer
I gave my 5 series to my fiance and I miss that car so much, cuz it was all modified. I had to take the modified parts off one by one and put original factory parts on it Now we got two bimmers, a 5 and a 7, and both are black lol
She really likes the new range rovers, so I may trade the 5 in and get the range rover.

My 530i and Corvette are both black also. They look awesome when they are clean for about 3 days.
There's frickin Pollen everywhere now. Every damn tree in my city must be getting some right now.

my fiance has a 2005 5 series and it has so many problems
not only have the cup holders already broken, but the electrical I think is comparable to the old jags!!!
The electrical never seems to work correctly and I have talked to friends who have the same complaints
oh, and i forgot the greatest thing about the BMW, the 3rd day after we bought the car, an alarm went off saying we had a flat tire. We happen to be a block away from the dealers repair center so I drove in their and asked them to fix it and they told me they cant fix it for amonth because they were backed up !!!
then directed me to a tire center
BMW- never again
NOW, my 2005 audi has no problems and feels like its built like a tank

BMW's are very sharp cars. I love the front ends on them and they are basically my dream car, but the only thing that scares me is their history for failing mechanical parts and the cost to replace them. It might be just because of a bad year or something though. Not sure, just going off Consumer Reports. Cadillacs were just down right horrible though.
NICE RIDE THOUGH!!!!! I'd take it over my brand new saturn everyday, assuming someone paid the difference in payment and insurance ahahahahahaha
My dad had a BMW 740 IL until the aforementioned failing motor parts forced him to sell it because it broke down like once a month. It was a really cool car though and he had it for 4 years

We've had simiilar problems with ours, but not too bad. The cup holders a joke even amongst the BMW technicians. They keep dozens in stock.
BMW are know for electrical quirks also from what I've heard and experienced.
Our dealership is by appointment only. If you break down, they will have you towed in and repair it, but everything else is by appointment only.
Still overall, it's a very nice car but I won't be buying another one.
