Here's a picture of my E55.
I like it, especially with the easy mod for another 30+hp just with the ECU upgrade (software wise). If I can to do it over again, I will go the 335i route simply because it's more fun to drive. Yes, the new CTS-V is a good contender in the performance cars but it is still a domestic car and resale value sucks!

Off topic now, but I can't resist. Assuming your employer has a matching plan, it's better to spread your 401K contribution throughout every pay period. The reason is, the employer, in most plans, matches up to a certain percent. If you max it all out early, the employer match is still capped, and you are done contributing. However, if you spread out the $16K in 2007 over all pay periods, your employer matches you on every pay period.

CAR POOR !!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO AND PROUD OF IT !LMAO I feel like a million bucks driving my LEX. I rather be poor and happy than unhappy and rich. It's my first car ever. The one car I wanted since high school. It's my most valuable material possesion (...member STIMPY & his litter box? ) It's about 26% gross with ins. & gas. That's not terribly bad!

DANG!!! at the gas rate right now I'm spending close to $200 a month on gas! I could lease a new C230 with that money according to the LA times. Have to fill up every 4 days...

I went with 0-10% on the poll.
I get paid .485 a mile, so after I clear about 1100 miles a month my car payment, gas and insurance are all done with.
On average I drive about 1700 a month, so I actually get paid to drive my car.
