Yes, do it. I love M5s.

Is that the car SARAFIL was talking about yesterday?

BTW, I wouldn't want to buy anything that cost more than a few thou more than what I could get for the M3. Which puts my limit in the mid $20K range.

Man, you really have the itch.

If you do sell it, will you be parting out any goodies?

No, but it's what that car looks like.

Now that I'm out of warranty, I was thinking I'd at least *consider* getting a new car. Again, there is no suitable M3 replacement that I can afford. So, I'm keeping the M3.

6 years on an OEM BMW battery? Count your blessings.

Mine died a few weeks ago. And it's not even 4 years old yet...Although it did drain completely a few times

aranoid:

I'll bet it died after 3 years, and the replacement also lasted ~3 years.

I just called the wife and, sure, we'd be up to hit Sterling as long as there's no snow hampering the experience. Oh, and not too early as she's hoping to catch up on a little sleep from the sleep hole we're all in from being sick earlier this week.

Have you dealt with anyone in sales over there before who might go easy on the salesman schtick?

I like the Mini's custom-order ability, and even the price. It's not bad, really. And a lease on a Mini would be downright cheap. Of course, it is kinda small.

Hrm...

Dude, I just configured one online and it came to an MSRP of $22,939.

For a new car that has appeal, that's cheap.
