Last Drive
Tomorrow (Friday), I will pick up my \\Wagon and drive it home from the dealership. This will probably be my last time behind the wheel of it, as it is about to pass on to someone who will take as much pride and care in it as I have.
Though it is the right thing to do for a lot or reasons, I'm kind of feeling strange about doing it (selling it). Any advice on things I can do to make the sendoff feel more comfortable?

Sad, huh Matt? I remember the excitement when you got.
My suggestion - make a little ceremony of it. Crack some champange, have a small toast to the good times, take one last picture and drive the long way to the dealership.
hehe...then take a test drive in the new M5.

The M5 Touring. My wife is not about to give up the 540iT anytime soon. :-) Especially since I just got her an Ice Link for it for Christmas.

Yeah, I'm sad. It's the right thing to do logically, blah, blah, blah, but I as it approaches completion, I've got that twinge of sellers remorse (even though I'd hardly be able to drive it for the next year or so).
\One of my co-workers just picked up his new M5 (E60) on Tuesday
\\gotta check it out.

I've missed the point here I think. Are you trading the car on another BMW?

No. Just going to use the 535i for now. I've changed jobs and have nowhere to put it out of the Texas sun at work. Until my wife finished her degree and graduates in 2007, I'll have far fewer opprotunities to drive it than I've been accustomed to.
I may be in a position to consider the E61 M5 Touring after that (depends on how my next game does).
