Not my ride (I am embarrassed of mine), but the car my dad just bought today. Photos taken before we left the lot. Click here for the full 1600x1200 image.  Click here for the full 1600x1200 image. It's a 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI estate in flint grey with pretty much all the options that were available. Fantastically comfortable in my opinion, got a decent amount of power for overtaking, but really smooth. Most importantly it fits all of us inside with room to spare - him and two sons, all of us 6', my mum and the dog. Loads of legroom and headroom. I'm phenomenally jealous.

My new car. No front shot because I wasn't forward thinking enough to take one.    2001 Volvo S60 2.0 T S automatic. Very happy with it so far. I'd have preferred one that wasn't red, but I was fortunate enough to not be paying and this one was cheapest. And the colour is growing on me.

 2001 Volvo S60 2.0T, unmodified. I neglected to post a front picture when I got the car. I wasn't keen on the red initially, but this was the best value for money so I got it. Since then it has really grown on me and the finish seems to be in very good condition, given its age. I love this car, it's comfortable, sensible, and has enough power to overtake when needed.

wallaka posted:Traded in the M3 for this 2005 E55 AMG, 55,000 miles. 479 horsepower, and torques...all of them. Ever. I can't even really describe it besides brutal, relentless power. It makes it seem so effortless, too. I was used to flogging the M3 like a Honda because of the power delivery, and this is the complete opposite. I would stab a loved one in the face for this car. I would prefer it over anything else in this thread and there is no better colour than black for it. I envy you sir. Does it have 'sports' seats in it? Or are they the normal super comfortable E-class ones that are more like a lounge chair?

I recently got this and I absolutely love it. 2011 BMW E91 330d M-Sport. It's the first car I've actually wanted rather than settled for, the fit and finish is fantastic.

masterpine posted:Always a head-turner those station wagons, just lovely. Thanks! I'm pleased to say I've had several people come up to me and express similar things. Mine is identical to a colleague's, and my boss has the F31 335d - driving the latter influenced this purchase. He's going to court for being caught doing 130mph and I can see how easily he'd have got there!

The first car I've ever had to buy without seeing it or driving it due to covid restrictions. Fortunately my boss has the same one (but not the touring) and I'd driven his, so I had a good idea what I was getting. 2018 BMW G31 520d. Bigger, nicer inside, and more technology than my F31 330d - yet a fair amount cheaper each month. I decided to get something slower since I virtually never used the power.

Thank you for the kind words. There's always been a fond reaction to my BMW estates (E91, F31) in this thread, I don't know if it's because they're some sort of oddity in the US or because we've all just got good taste. The inside is a lovely place to be:  The 3 series fit my big dog in the back, whereas this will comfortably fit two.  I've become a big fan of the linings from https://www.hatchbag.co.uk/, perfect fit, waterproof, and the last one was durable enough that it served 3 years in the E91 then 3 years in the F31! Not affiliated with them in any way.

Kilonum posted:At the tender age of 39 I have purchased my first car Good car. Checking my post history in this thread I posted my own 11 years ago, but it was just the 2.0L (the image has since disappeared). I drove it many years and it was good, only reason I changed was a sizeable dog necessitating an estate.

I got my car washed for the first time since acquisition 5 months ago. It made the colour look a lot nicer, though admittedly the picture isn't great. Sat in the same spot as its forbears:

Somewhat Heroic posted:I really like how ugly the car is inside and out! That looks like the LCI version though, which was after they'd removed the stupid grille that looked like it had a moustache.   I hated the pre-LCI but loved the facelift (and owned an E91 330d for 3 years).

OneSizeFitsAll posted:That is so cute. Does he do it all the time now he's figured it out? This was during our annual trip to the Scottish highlands where we're driving for 10+ hours with a load of luggage. We put a child's mattress across the back seat so he can be closer to us for this journey but he usually travels in the boot/trunk for shorter trips, so he's not had the opportunity since. I disabled the rear controls after I noticed! PBCrunch posted:I had a Mitsubishi Galant for a very short time. I was taking my dogs to the dog park in it. My bigger dog Peanut stepped on the window control in the armrest, rolled the window all the way down, and then jumped out of the car at a stoplight. Thankfully no other cars were around and I got him back in the car safely. That was the day I learned what window lock switches were really for. When he's in the back of a car we use something like this to secure him to prevent an escape ... or him trying to get in the front with us. The latter did happen - a 7st dog on your knee is not ideal, even as a passenger.

track day bro! posted:I’m still regretting not buying an R32 GT-R when the prices bottomed out on em more than 10 years ago. Now it would probably cost me most of a deposit on a house, own property or an R32 GT-R…. I met a guy that somehow made all of the right moves. It started when I was at a relative's place and spotted this out the window:  E61 S85 V10 M5 Touring. I was told the guy has about 5 BMWs out back and loves talking about them so when we spotted him we got talking, he'd got this one for £10k, but he took us round the back and showed us his E30 M3 which he'd got for ... £12k in near perfect condition with a trunk full of original spares. I can't remember when, maybe 15 years ago.

I enjoyed my F31 330d more than my E91 330d. It felt a lot less sloppy, more comfortable too. The downside was the move to electric steering. That said, even though the F31 looked excellent in black with black trim, it's the E91s that make me thinking about getting another.
