Garage time, ugh! It still amazes me, that out of the years I’ve owned Ole’Girl, how long the times she spent at various garages. I think, close to 3 years. This last stint, was pretty much all of 2020. But, she has this weird way of upgrading herself and dragging me along with her. Hence the E85. Yes, I am in charge of pulling the trigger, but how I land in those positions, is still a mystery to me.

I forgot to mention, how much I like taking that E53 out for a spin though!

After seeing that picture you posted of her post paint correction, I know exactly how she keeps extracting funds from your wallet. That and the manual trans + boost must make her a convincing temptress.

Yep, you understand correctly. I am almost $25k into ownership experience including purchase price. I don't include fuel or insurance in that as you would pay those on any shit box too. I have those figures as well (Red is down to about 4000 miles a year) however. ~$3600/yr is a smoking deal to drive a lux sport SUV.

I don't keep logs for the simple fact I DON'T WANT TO KNOW how much money has gone into my BMWs.

Your math puts me at $4600/yr. Not bad for an exotic.

Seriously, I got to a point, not just with my BMW, but with all of our motor vehicles in this family!
