Of leggy russkies, it's most certain.

From the 'article': "When you’re a millionaire poop star who travels around the world on private jets and has dated the most beautiful women in the world, it has to be hard to get excited for a car."

Who writes this stuff, and why is LM/S reading Auto Loan Daily News?

Let me tell you a 'million' isn't what it used to be, I assure you...

The article means less>nothing!

It suggests he gets "excited" about driving his X, when it's nothing more then his DD/beater.

I drive an '05 Accord when I have dirty cargo to haul (used oil and such) or the roads are shitty. I hope bystanders aren't assuming I get "EXCITED" while putting the key in such a transportation appliance!!!

I would bet the farm E.I. has a Ferrari or Lambo in his arsenal to get "excited" by.

This article screams FAIL, and caters to low income, used car buyers willing to finance a used BMW to say "I drive the same car as --insert celeb name here--, and they have millions!".

So true.

I worked with two people with long commutes to work that thought a Prius was the answer to high fuel costs. Both sold them within 1 yr after finding they got only a few more MPG then my E43 330i 6spd manual trans.

The Prius had good city MPG, hit the highway at over 70 mph and they were nothing special.

Auto Loan Daily wrote the article, there are most probably more 4.8is' on the market then 4.6is'. They are steering used car purchasers to the more available vehicle. Only hardcore BMW owners will spot the difference and that is NOT the target audience of the article.
