Very close models right - only different years - did you ever consider taking a M5? Any pictures of them by any chance

The G05 is my current car (one year together and extremely happy with it) although the X3 is still at home: since I bought the X5 last year, the F25 is my wife’s car. Very happy with it as well, zero issues in more than 9 years and too many memories together

So beautiful cars! Congrats you've good taste! Are you Spanish? Saw Madrid's stadium around

Yeah, the old stadium. As a Real Madrid supporter, it was the first place I went when I received the X3, back in 2016, in order to take some pics

I test drove the M5 multiple times and the transmission was too hyper for me. I’m willing to trade the performance for more comfort of the M550

The Ms are great...I like smaller so the M3 was more my thing...but they are such overkill that they really need to be tracked to get the most out of them. The ZHP wasn't overly powered so I could actually drive the thing a bit on regular roads!

2007 335i sedan

Original BMW = 2002 330i (manual). Bought this as my first car that I purchased when my hand me down Honda Accord got totaled by hitting a deer.

2nd BMW = 1996 318i (manual) bought this as a daily/winter beater when I was commutting 100 miles per day round trip. Loved this car and how light weight it was and reliable. Drove this until over 200k miles on it.

Current BMW = 2024 M2 (auto). First brand new car I ever bought and saved up for after driving 2 different Prius for numerous years between the BMWs
