I experienced the same thing in 02, I rented a brand new caddy because my E39 had 120k on it at the time (sold it at 180k) and though a newer car would be nicer... it was horrible! I felt the same exact was and since then, I have only owned BMW's. 00 M5 (Dinan S2), E46 M3 (Dinan S3-R), Blown 480whp E30 and an 05 4.8is.
