Squddie - now that was funny!

It is a HUGE car and it depreciates like a sinking ship. All true. I would never want to see someone buy one new - right now my car (2014 GC) is going through the auctions at $55K. This is a $103,000 car.... now barely worth 50%.

However...
The interior is stunning - one of the best in the BMW lineup.
The looks are stunning as well - also probably some of the best in the BMW lineup.
(yes both subjective)
The sound of the V8 is intoxicating (that's just fact )
The steering is probably one of the best in the CURRENT BMW lineup (subjective of course)
and the car is unique...

To me, I'm actually liking my 650GC more and more each day. Other than a M3, I don't know what else appeals to me in the BMW lineup. And even then, the ability to scoot across traffic in the rain and snow with the AWD is something I don't know if I can live without (once you have AWD in Chicago, it is hard to go back).

Just my 2 cents of course
