I've been driving my 525i to work lately since my wife did a hostile take-over of the 530i. (she claims it's unfair for me to have all the "good" cars) No-problem, I still have dibs on the 8. :) My 850 had been waiting patiently under a car cover in the garage for a run. So, today being a rain free beautiful day, I decided to fire her up and take care of some errands. I think it takes about 2 weeks of driving the 525i to almost forget what it's like to drive the 8. Today was an opportunity to remind myself how fortunate and blessed I am to be able to own this fine automobile.
