As a M5 nut myself I understand. Give it time it'll be ok, trust me. Take your time and wait for something special to come along and go for it. Hope you're not still thinking about an X5. Go for an Alpina B12 7 series, would suit you sir.

Ah well mate...you've had some serious years of fun in it. Time to look omwards and upwards.
Would I be way off if you were planning on bringing the good ol VW days back?? A nice standard R32 possibly for you to mod?? -------------  |
