Anyway, I say get what you'd like...maybe a better car in the same price range or an older 5 series?

Rudey sweetie, I KNEW I could count on an honest opinion from you!
I'm thinking that the 3 series is the vehicle equivalent of A/X as opposed to Armani or DKNY vs. Donna Karan. Or the folks that walk around with t-shirts that say "Chanel" on them and believe people think that it's just a little something they picked up on the rue du Faubourg de St. Honore.
It's not really a money issue; it's more Mr. X's mindset. Or so Mrs. X tells me. He really hates to finance things and the money is there in the X Family car fund for a 330 but not a 530. So they'd get a car loan for the difference. I don't think that's a big deal, but he does.
And she can't get a used car because part of the fun of a new car is the new car smell.
PS Mrs. X sounds like a mad diva, but she's really a very nice person!
