But, good point. I found it odd they chose to do the reveal of such a major model at this event, rather than a major auto show.
Fuck, I found out that as you make more money and can afford toys like M cars, you have less time to drive and enjoy them. Of course getting married, having kids, moving cross country takes a toll on your time in my case...

I barely have any time on a weekend to even wash my car, let alone drive it. Last weekend, I had literally a 2 hour window to change my X5's oil and air filter while my kid took a nap (DIY). In the old days, I would have blasted on my TV in my garage, , sipped on a brew and take my time on the job while doing a vacuum at the end.

BTW, how they designed the air filter box on the E70 X5 was completely stupid. It literally took me 30 minutes to force the snaps back onto the box. The tolerances on it is insanely tight.

It is much like people the older the uglier we get.

Clearly beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Marketing driven at "the kids" think is cool is still a pretty heavy influence today, whether we like it or not. You dont make aspirational halo cars by only showing them to people in their 40s
Your argument would be better served by saying today you own an Audi (RS something)
Eh, not really, its what fueled my love for the type of car. I ended up loving BMWs after trying them out and havent looked back since.

Sounds like BMW owes Audi a check for the referral

Somehow it looks worse in the game preview (aka moving) than it does when you look at the press photos.

Like a barge on wheels....and not in a good way?
Aren't all current 5 series land yachts?

My parents use to say the same thing.

Now you can get scholarships for gaming, and ESports is on ESPN.

Imagine where I could have been if I had just played more

Looks to me like it's a growing market on the creator side, and sports side

Not so bad when you take another look at it. Love the stance and those F80 lookin' mirrors suit the look too.

Should've slapped on some gloss black grilles to give it a meaner front though.

charlotte pool

Fortunately, you can discover a Pokémon Go hack or two that are absolutely protected and that will do nothing to your PC and that will keep you from getting restricted also. There are a lot of networks that attention on these hacks and that can assist you with finding exactly what you need or need from a bot of any kind. What's more, that is a tremendous preferred position that will enable you to step up rapidly, get the entirety of the charlotte pool that you need, and have a ton of fun with it when you really have the opportunity to plunk down and play.

At the point when you are hoping to upgrade your charlotte pool game, and you need to ensure that you can get everything that you requirement for it, at that point a Pokémon Go bot might be only what you need to set aside some effort to take a gander at. By utilizing these apparatuses, you can make the game significantly increasingly charming and ensure that you get considerably nearer to the entirety of the objectives that you have for the game and how you need to have the option to play it with the time that you have.

Tell that to the man who made $10M last year wasting his time eh? Get with the times grandpa..

There are many among him who do very well in the industry and E-Sports is a real thing nowadays which can be very lucrative if you have put in the time to practice just like any other profession.

Seems like you only drive a 335i so perhaps it is you who wasted your time otherwise you would be in a new M5 which is what this forum/post is about.

I'll hop on the bandwagon with all of the others to bring you back to reality today. I watched the M5 reveal during a Gamescom stream.

I am married with 2 kids, 31 yrs old and when I have the time you will still find me playing World of Warcraft and CoD: MW — oh did I mention I drive an M5 Competition?

I've been playing anything and everything for the last 20 year and as long as time permits - I will continue to do so.
