Nah, I see where you're coming from. I personally think the X5/X7 blows every SUV out of the water, including the exotic ones. The G8x grew on me but I still think they're way too expensive. Didn't stop me from trying to get a CSL but 200k for an M4 is just silly.

Yeah the G80 is expensive.... but not any more so than the competition. Within its class I still think it's the best option. RS5 isn't in the same league in terms of performance and fun (and yet somehow more expensive than the G80). The C63 is turning into a 4 banger. The Giulia is a great driving experience but the interior is really downmarket. And the cadillacs are sort of in between classes. CT4 BW is between an m340i and M3 and CT5 is between an M3 and M5.

You've said that before. I feel different. I'll be 68 this Jan and I feel like life has been long. Enjoying every bit of it and hoping for another 20 years or so.

Side note~do you find it hard to see out of the back of the X6? My wifre might be a little shorter but had a hard time driving it b/c of the rear visibility

tcphoto · 11-04-2022, 04:08 PM

I'm just thirteen years into the obsession and have owned two 3Series, my current E92 has been a satisfying experience. I may be looking for an older X5 or an even older Defender 90 or FJ40, depending on my budget in the future.

Not so much now but it took a while to transition from the X5 to the first generation X6. The rear window was much smaller then and the ass was higher. It had huge blind spots from the C pillars. I put spot mirrors on my side view mirrors and got used to it.

Llarry · 11-04-2022, 04:55 PM

This Off-Topic thread seems curiously On-Topic to me. But the real surprise is how smokin' hot cmyx6go is!

And, yeah, I loved Sterling Gray as well -- so much so that I special-ordered an E46 M3 in that color just like Tommy-G did.

I called and told them not to put it on but it was already done. It’s the first time they beat me to it. I need to pull out the blow dryer and get rid of it.

Thank you, I’m glad I didn’t chicken out again and change the color.

Last weekend I got to spend the afternoon at the Performance Center here in SC driving M4’s, M5’s and an X4M. The performance of the first two were not a surprise but man that X4M was equally amazing! Wish they had an X6M out there to experience…

I knew that, but one of the things that age has given me -- I'm a few years older than you -- is the ability to see beauty in women of a certain age. To see through the wrinkles and other signs of age and see the true essential beauty.

2000cs · 11-05-2022, 09:52 AM

A few; not sure I have any pics:

1967 2000cs anthracite gray with black top two-tone paint job. Euro headlights
1972 Bavaria blue
1974 2002tii Malaga
1980 320i brown
1986? 528e gray metallic I think
1988 630i? Black sapphire
Early 1990s 730i white
1999 Z3 Hellrot
2001? 540i/6 black
2001 330i ti silver
2004 X3 3.0 ti silver
2005 Z4 coupe ti silver
2005 530i don’t recall the color, got rid of it quickly because of a flaw
2005 X5 4.8is Black Sapphire
2006 750Li ti Silver (current car)
2011 530i white
2015 M3 Black Sapphire
2016 X3 Black Sapphire (totaled)
2016 650iGC Black Sapphire (lemon, traded back)
2017 M3 Black Sapphire
2018 M5 Black Sapphire

Most bought used. I’ve probably missed one or two. I think the 750Li I currently own/drive (and the only one I currently own) will probably be my last as I don’t like the current designs and need something more like a Tahoe.

Speaking of smoking hot, that MBB is terrific! I've got this thing for San Marino Blue but Marina Bay Blue is just as good.
