He also has a wife and three kids at home and would laugh at the idea of having time to post on an online car forum. He might make it out to C&C once a year, but that's all the time he has for his love of cars now that he's no longer able to stay in tune with the brand like he could in his 20s and early 30s.
Kinda scary how much the above quote describes me nearly perfectly. However, I am in my early 40s and a life long BMW driver (although I absolutely hate my current X5). Also, I do still have time to post on forums

But the part about being a CXX, having 3 kids, only making it to C&C once a year... yeah, life gets really busy. The M5 checks off a lot of categories all at once. This, coming from a guy who use to have stacks of race tires in my garage for 10-12 track weekends a year in my E46 M3, back before I was married. lol

My commute in my F10 M5 was the most relaxing time of the day for me. Looking forward to getting back in to an M5 when this X5 lease is up.
