I stopped by a paint and body shop today on an unrelated mission, driving my Kalahari Beige X5. The owner walked out and wanted to know how I managed to have an old X5 in such excellent condition, quite taken with its appearance. He agreed with my observation that newer cars are largely crap. That's it, nothing else. Just nice to occasionally get some validation. And not post a query for the latest repair!

Definitely a rare color around here.
 Mine caught the attention of someone at a stealership. We were shopping for a new truck. They offered $3k as a trade in. I replied, $5k and I'll walk home. They wouldn't give up trying to get it. Someone there wanted it. Little did they know I was chasing a parasitic draw at the time. A replaced body control module fixed the issue. I've been asked how new is it. I've replied old, 2006.  Comments on driving and old BMW are not rare. Even at my work parking lot it stands out. I can't wait to install refreshed headlight assemblies. It will look even newer!

In 2019 I took my 2002 X5 in to BMW of San Antonio (largest BMW dealer in North America, formerly called Principle BMW) for an airbag recall. At that time it had just 23,000 miles on the clock and still smelled like a new car. Still does for that matter.
The technicians and service rep there literally just about lost it ... we spent a long time chatting about it. It was very gratifying to see it get some appreciation, but for the most part nobody among my friends and family get why I keep a 20+ year old car at all. Let alone two of them. :-) Their loss.
