I'm gonna say there is some subjective inference necessary. People on this board are more passionate about their BMWs and are into DIY things--I'm gonna assume they would make less than a normal e70 owner. However, this may not be enough to skew the data totally. I think that this could be very representative of the average e70 owner. We have people from all over the world, different ages, sexes, race, etc. It's a pretty good poll...

Learned a long time ago that income level means nothing... some ppl would forgo food to drive a nice car while others drive Toyotas to their private planes. Also, you cant forget that in some parts of the country 150k barely making it...

I don't know about *nothing* but I hear your point. Regardless, like I said in the first post: If you don't want to participate, then don't.

Agreed.

I personally am not going to participate bc I am not representative of a typical X5 owner at all. I'm a college student with a small income, no expenses besides my X5.. And most repairs are taken care of by mom and dad (thank god). I pay gas, and upfront cost... And no, I promise I'm not a spoiled brat.. I appreciate everything my parents give me, and am sure to do my best to repay them. (my parents get periodic hand washes from yours truly )

You hand-wash your parents?

Also, that's why I put the $0-$50k choice. For people like you! I tried not to leave anyone out!
