Does it happen to you?

WHen you just cannot decide on what car you really wanna buy? I really want an M5 but im soooooooooooo afraid it will be like my 02 745i where it had so many mulfunctions that it wasnt even funny. And i really like ML63 will drive one as soon as they get in, my daughter is 1 year old in 4 days btw and she really likes My current ml and it is very convinient for me too. But on the other hand i really want something more sporty!

Its like i have 2 voices in my head one is saying you neeeed an SUV and the other voice is like NOOO you remember how much fun you had in that E55 of yours lol

What to do.

P.s pic of my cutypie!

Haven't you been talking about getting a car for like a year now! LOL! An M5 or an SUV (I don't care what kind of SUV)? Not much to think about IMHO.

I'm sure your safe in with going to the M5, '02 7s were s**t. The M5 always has a lot of pressure to follow up with, it is usually known as their flagship sport sedan and even though a lot of later Bimmers have been a huge let down, overall the M5 has done well and I believe it's success will continue, I'd say buy an E63, but the M5 should be a worry free purchase. IMO. The M5 is still practical, hell, it's a family sedan.

If you have at least 1 child and can only have 1 car, then ML63 is the obvious choice, IMHO. Also with the cold weather in Toronto from November to March, an all wheel-drive ML63 is more practical and a must. I go to Toronto twice a month and I would never attempt to bring the E55(with snow tires) during the winter months. Plus having a SUV is very convinient when buying oversize toys from Toys R Us.

Or you can do what I did, Lexus SUV for hauling the family and E55 for personal gratification
