Yep :)

I'm getting a Brand new, 2002 BMW 540i next month. The company car! I'm getting the M package. Does anyone have this?

What do ya'll think? Here is a picture of it, I want it in this color anyway:

A high tech bike, the kind without motors, appeals to me more.

But then I'm more of a Volvo - wagon - kinda guy anyway.

It looks like a rich businessman's car. I tend to prefer the gutsy ones. It is very sleek looking though, must be stupidly expensive..

You aren't able to buy that because of profits from your hosting company, are you...? :eek:

I've always wanted an Audi TT - sooo sooo very nice, but a little out of my range.

Watch everyone switch from HostingPlex to some other host...

My dad may switch jobs in the near future. While he already has a company car, he plans on waiting until he switched to get a Mercedes Benz E320 or a BMW...I say Mercedes, but he likes them both, and so do I.

I agree, that car looks absolutly amazing! Hey cedwards, I think your company car will get better milage :D

lol

The sad thing is, that my company vehicle is close to the one cedwards pointed out. The real difference is that mine has a better paint job :D

The cars look nice but I swear I would never own a BWM again. It was the worst, most unreliable, car I ever owned :( I like my Lexus a whole lot better and is more dependable (if the can ever figure out how to fix my AC :))

I have never been in a M package with one, but IMO I would rather get a E class mercedes or even if you don't mind jumping up in price a little bit a S430-S500 mercedes. I think they drive soooo much better and you really can't beat the options. I got rear ended in our S430 like 2 mos after we got (****ing drunk driver) but it was halarious, the guys enter front of his car was all crunched up and our car had a little hole in the bumper heh... Looks real pimp to it has the mercedes rims but supershined and 5% tint all black. with GPS and all the goodies hehe.. :))

(all this rambling == get a mercedes)

And a friend of mine also had the worst luck with his 535...at least mine was only losing bolts.

Quite like my new Peugeot 307 GLX 2 Litre.

Should have it for about 2 years then give it back and get something different, if I can afford a really big expensive car without having to think about how much of my wages its burning away each month then id probably go for a Merc, Lexus or Audi.

BMWs are nice but I just dont think they are quite upto the quality they used to be, but I may be wrong...

Here is the car I will get in about 3-5 years. Hopefully all paid off.

I'd be inclined to agree. The cars are great (once you get used to the back to front seatbelt design :stickout) but can be a pain.

We got rid of our BMW a few years ago. I don't remember the model, but it was about 3 years old when we got rid of it.

Always having problems and the services were so expensive compared to other cars.
