As an aside, don\'t people with those bluetooth mobile phone headsets look Silly? Sort of thing Alan Partridge would wear, I\'d rather pull over and answer the phone myself and even if they only put them on to answer the call but they walk round with them on all day. Makes me laugh.

You don't have to be rich...

The depreciation of the E39 M5 has to be seen to be believed. You can pick up a 4 year old 80k 1 owmer example for £18k, or a 3 year old 72k miler for under £20k.

Group 20 insurance and 15mpg of course, and the E39 has to make do with a paltry 400bhp, but you do only live once...

why on earth would anybody want such car in the uk?

Why do I ride a sportsbike that makes the acceleration of even the new M5 V10 look positively tardy?

Because I can.

Because we are not all the same.
Because we have diverse tastes and priorities.
Because some of us actually enjoy driving, and live in rural areas where this pleasur remains accessible.
Because it's still a free country.

Personally, i find it incomprehensible that anyone would want to drive a Ford Galaxy, but there you go!

Thanks for tidying up my italics, Mods!

On my new laptop, if I press a key before having fully released the previous one, the two letters - in this case / and i - become transposed! A right royal pita as I tend to type like the clappers, but have to watch my spelling like a hawk (failing in this case).

M cars have lost the original plot.

When they started out they were always very much Q cars with little body modifications to show for it and for those who could afford them, they offered powerful and unflashy cars.

Now they look like they come with medallion and hairy chest.

I think you have a point, CM. Drive an M3 and you look horribly like a gangster.
