TBH each to their own. I added bits and bobs to suit my tastes, not to make it something it is not. I like the shark fin, at least it is not chrome. The sports bumper looks better than the stock and the alloys I like.
It has nothing to do with affording to keep it, or run it. It is more about the practicality of owning such a car. I have residents parking here and this is a right PITA to park most days. Plus I am tootling around town most days, this is not what the car was deisgned for.
I did go straight from the BMW dealers to the SMART dealer (opposite) and had a play with the roadster and Fourtwo. I really like both.
The 5 is an utterly awesome car, and it is perfect in almost every way. Fast, smooth, comfortable and has tonnes of toys. It will be a sad day when she goes, but I aspired to own one, and I have done that. Time to move on.
