Mom just got a new car...
We just got back from the BMW dealership, and our new BMW M5 came in! Its blue with the walnut wood interior. I drove it home, and although I didnt push it (until break in that is), what a blast! We traded in our 7 series ( 
) but it was getting too much mileage. Sadly it will be my moms daily driver..meaning abuse through the 2 hour commute to LA. Besides that, I finally clear corners for my 8 =P

ive test driven an 07 M5, and yah- it's pretty sweet. heads up display, auto-supporting seats etc. it's a beautiful car. ur mom willl be going to the gas station every other day though... but, if she can afford that car, i'm sure she can afford $100+ a week for gas.
congrats.
congrats.

She learned stick on my uncle's Z4 (I think? Maybe 3) and bought the MT. The 2007s are going for cheaper as the 2008's are kicking in so we opted for the M5 over the new M3. BTW- If anyones wondering why a mom would get a M5 over a dad, they got divorced 16 years ago so =P Sucks to be him.
My mom got 124,672 miles per year on the last car, thus after 2 years she decided she wanted a new car. She hid the keys and said I cant really drive it until 1 month passes, but whatever that car feels a bit heavy on the wheel vs the 8!

like i said- beautiful car, but she'll be visiting the gas station every other day to fill up. even if the money doesn't matter, the pain of having to fill up all the time will be a pain in the *** sooner or later if she's using it as a commuter car.

I read once that some dude who put 1,000,000 miles on his Accord got a free replacement from Honda after he turned his old one in. She should work out a similar deal. A buck twenty five thousand miles a year. Wow.

One hundred twenty five thousand miles per year. Staggering.
