The 7 was strictly for size inside (realtor and buddies the same size as me) and the X because I wanted an SAV that didn't handle like other SAV/SUV's that I'd driven in the past, so I know BMW was the way to go. Between all 3 cars, I still wish I had the lower maintenance costs that USUALLY come with domestic cars, but I still stuck with BMW and did chose to the "pay to play" to policy.

It's funny you say the jealousy part. When we bought the X, our neighbors who just bought a GMC Yukon a year earlier(very nice too) when out a traded that in for a brand new Buick SUV . My wifes boss got all ticked off and asked her to park the X out in the street instead of the driveway and then had the nerve to tell her that she didn't need a raise because we aren't hurting.(she is a private nanny). Now her boss wants to go buy a BMW. When we purchased our cars, we never intended to try to keep up with the jones. It was really funny when I did the suspension on the 540. I pulled the 81 silverado out of the garage( which has been torn down to bare frame.) 1 week later I received a letter from the city about parking junk vehicles in plain sight. I know my neighbors bitched. We don't live in an OHA and I was like what the hell, I pay property taxes like everyone else.
