Hmm what BMW should i drive today *pics*

Got to drive the 645ci

Its sooo much nicer in person than in pics. Drives like a dream, couldnt get on it hard since its still new. And yes, all those cars belong to the same guy. He has a X5 also, but its in the garage.... on the lift. :o

I think I finally figured out what a "baller" is

Wow, that's an impressive stable of vehicles there (and the house ain't bad either)

I just noticed the lifted X5 on the right. That must be suum clearance. 645 reminds me of an Aston Martin somehow,

How much are homes like that in Chicago??? Here in San Jose, they would be about $1.5-$2m depending on the area of course.

You guys cant even see the house in the pics... thats just his garage. Im guessing its about 4300sq. Goes for about 650k-750k.

maybe up in maine or vermont....but tri-state area has some of the highest property values in the country.

the three uncleared lots next to my parents house in connecticut just sold for $600,000+ per acre....


if you want a big house for the money come out to Arizona. land is about $20 per acre. my boss just built a house for $350,000 that is comparable to a $800,000 home on the east coast.

I didnt drive it enough for a review. Only took it around the block but i can tell the active steering would be fun as hell on a track. Also the brakes were the best ones i ever driven. The gearing is amazing on the v8, its soo quick on the low end. I hardly had to touch the pedal also. I do now think the car is worth its price tag. Its pretty advanced. It also feels HUGE while driving it.

The new 5series is not a very good looking car, black is a color that typically hides ungainly ugly lines. Other dark colors help as well, but black is the best.

Which is why the 7 series, 645Ci, and 5 series look the best in black.
