I get very excited as well when my wife actually shows interest in getting a particular car. She's usually just "whatever..i dont care". Last time she really pushed me to get a car was our current RRS...which we've had for 4 years now and both love.

And yeah, considering you'll have 2 nice cars for youself if you buy the M5, you dont really have a leg to stand on to turn her down. So I say throw caution to the wind and get it! After a few months you might find that you're not using a particular car in the fleet anymore and can get rid of it as well. My prediction would be the GTI, but who knows.

BTW, my wife is interested in (but not head over heels) the Mini EV. We test drove one last weekend and she liked it when in sport mode. (She compained about the steering feeling too loose and vague on-center in the normal modes- a trait the Mini seems to share with its BMW brethren unfortunately). So I may be joining you in Mini ownership at some point!
