There are several reasons not to get the 550i. It has the crappy F10 Electric Power Steering, pays higher taxes, it's slower than our car, consumes more fuel than our car, doesn't have the chassis and suspension made for the m550d, and since their base cost is identical, the m550d is a better car for us. If we had the m5 we would have to save less money, and my parents also want to save some money to build up a nice ammount after they sell the company once they retire. Anyways, as you said, purchasing cars is all about one's opinion and preference, I don't have to justify why we buy X and not Y, but I do agree that within the price range of our car, ours was the wisest choice both in upkeeping costs and usability. Even if you have millions, if you go spending them like you just don't care, you'll run out^^

can't agree with you sorry :/ It's easy to take a 5 second decision based on what we'd prefer or think we'd enjoy more and just shout it. But things don't work that way. When you have to manage money perfectly, keeping a company, cars, family, house, employees, machines, university, kids, vacations, and if you want to save money too incase it's necessary, and if you don't want to drain your budget every month, you can't just go along with the "hell with it" thought. Buying the M5 would not have been rational, and buying our car was possibly not the most rational thing ever. It's good to be able to save money, we never know how things will be in a few years. If you get the chance to buy a M5 and if you can spend the money without having to worry about how you're going to manage it I do encourage you to do so :) Money does not grow on trees, it's something you harvest from your work. And the more you spend the less you have.

Exactly, the ammount of power on our car is already un necessary, why buy an even more powerful one? We were to get the Bi TDi A7, we just went to bmw to get low prices to poke the audi guys with to get an even lower price, but they did a great deal on the m550d xD. And they also offered us 5 years of free service/repairs. And keeping the M5 would be even more expensive, the money spent on it can be used on another necessary and pleasurable things. And we'd gain nothing by having the m5, we wouldn't be able to drive it any faster than we do atm, since we don't even drive our car to it's full potential. It would just make us spend more money without having gains.

It's not that straight forward, and I think you can only tell what you'll do when it's your turn to do it. We could have afforded the M5 rather than the M550d, but a car's payment is something that we're agreeing to, and that's something we can control and are prepared to do. However fuel prices are insane, specially petrol. And each time you fill up the tank, even with the diesel, since we can't go under 11.0L/100km, It's a big ammount of money we're spending, and we have to fill up the tank every week, and it's not driven too much. Each month we spend around 250€ in fuel. That's 3000 per year. Then you also have the insurance which is not cheap. The M5 would turn out much more expensive on the run, expecting around 320-350€ of fuel per month. With 300 per month you can buy a small car lol. When you buy a car you can't just account what you're paying when you get the keys. Also due to the price cathegory of our car we pay an extra 20% of fuel price, so on top of the 3000€ of fuel per year we pay another 20% of that. And for which reason would we get the M5 instead? None, we don't race, we don't track the cars. My father only stretches it when the roads are empty at night or in highway driving, most of the days he's under 50-60km/h. I already think that our car is to powerful for what we can do on our roads. We've already been in situations in which we think, I'd do this and that if I were going to do X instead of doing what someone did, but when it's your turn to decide on the very same thing you'll think it over better^^ Just saying, things are not that straight forward xD

Piezzo injectors. VW had some issues with those but new versions are fixed. BMW also has them, our car has them.

Yes, it is REALLY fast haha. Can't wait to have my license so I can find a bit of highway while driving our m550d^^ I get piss scared everytime my dad hammers it, it causes me so much vertigo (the acceleration) haha,.

I'm not a french car fan but DCi engines have really low consumptions (modern dcis) and I don't see them broken down too often.

my dad enjoyed his military time but he was lucky to be in the navy so they always had great food and not much shooting to do, other than torpedoes xD Hope it gets better there for you and that it's all over fast. Is there any way you can quit? Here you could say you were against guns and they would run several psychological tests to verify that.

it's not obligatory here anymore, thankfully

Then may we conclude electric cars are the superior race? I used to have a lot of fun on my electric action man atv when I was 5.

yea that's why I like them haha, not saying petrols are uncool, because they're not, just don't think they can make you smile so much when you're not wanting to drive fast haha. Also LOL this thread xDD

You guys are not car fans, I'm sorry. You're just haters and bias'd people without an open mind. That or you're all right and I've been awfuly cursed to be blind and have a weird view on things. Those mushroom do taste funky FUNKY I TELL YOU . Kid you not.

See! Diesel bus would save you the hassle! tsk tsk

cute

^someone's definitely not close minded nor a hater! You should be thankful boy! I'm pretty sure it's a diesel bus which gets you intime to school! SEE?! diesel engines helping you build your future.

Don't be fooled by the age that I've got I'm still I'm still graceful in the craddle HAAPPEEH BERTHDEY

Well I'd suppose the BITDi could be the old lamborghini tractor then, just to put it on a higher level hahah

Yea you can't drift around roundabouts with a diesel and get all the chicks with a diesel.. :/ I mean, I'm never sure if it's a car or a combine harvester when I hear a diesel :( That's what I call ALPHA! Not having a "cute" car :cheeky:

I've been drifting every kind of road ever since I was a kid. beat that jafiro... VROOOOOM

Welcome to Dr. Mike Oxlong's room. Please relax as my assistant Jen Etalia prepares your coffee which will be gently served by Ben Dover. Please, santtu, tell me about what bothers you. (very interesting psychologist conversation) Well...you appear to have Brooke N. Rubbers' syndrome.... Nothing to worry about, nothing at all :p

Says you. been on 5 special missions in my life. Classified ofc so if I told you I've been doing army work on the moon I'd have to kill you. You are a weakling, army work is only hard if you have no #SWAG PWNED

Well if you want to play it that way I need a lawyer too :mhmm:

Thought the whole goal was to have a huge smile on weekends, and no one sane would spend their weekends drifting around tesco or doing burnouts unless they have unlimited cash for tyres and fuel, :cheeese:

Not when your diesel 6 cyl is faster and is rwd but clever enough to power frontwheels ifthe rear axis cant take all the torque :cheeese:
