Officially Old

Pull up next to E92 M3 and tell kid in his twenties 'nice car, I just sold mine for this, I loved the E92'. He says 'thanks, my dad wants one of those'. Ouch.

Lol (relatively speaking of course) the ///M5 is for the older crowd.

I've always preferred this car and I'm 33. Shrug

It's not for the older crowd, it's for the more mature crowd. The gentleman racer.

The last time I heard that gentleman racer phrase was from a salesman who sold me a BMW 1200S that I couldn't dismount after 300miles. I could also not feel my hands from the elbows down or straighten my back for a good half hour. I bought it in the autumn and sold it in the spring, with 300 miles on the clock.

Nope! I'd say that you're quite fortunate,.... extremely lucky!

Looks like the OP should have replied " the M5 is a great learn/first car" judging by this thread

dgbos · 06-05-2016, 08:14 PM

haha - this makes me feel a whole lot better. I always wanted the M5.

Me too. First car was a very old, not really running 5-series I bought with money earned roofing and fixing computers and I've been a 5-series guy ever since (last new car was also an F10). Always preferred the style and amenities over the 3-series - and how I'm always looking out the rear window when I check my blind spot (have owned every generation 5-series since the E28) since BMW has been remarkably consistent with exterior/interior proportions over the years.
