Acura Gone...BMW Here!
#1
I'm an old man. So, in replacing the acura I picked a car that is comfortable, practical, pimp, and fun-to-drive. I bought a Manual E39 BMW. Green with beige leather, loaded with tons of options including tow hitch. And only 66k miles on it.

I'll post pictures ASAP, but I left my camera at the office.

fwiw, insurance on a 540 and an m3 were the same for me. i actually think the m3 was a bit cheaper.

an excellent choice. And props for the 5spd! And the 528's the way to go IMHO, the V8's are too confusing. But I gotta ask, what happened to the Boxter? Came to your senses? :wink:

I couldn't fit a set of golf clubs or more than 1 girl in the car. And I play lots of golf and because I like'em thin, I can fit 6 girls in the BMW.

actually...insurance wasn't too bad on either...it's 1800 a year on my parents policy, and that's 3600 if it was on my own...Boxster was about the same.
