There was a time where a BMW was seen as a luxury that few could afford and there was a sense of exclusivity to it. Today it seems the place is full of them (especially those 520d models) and they have become as common on the road as pot holes. I don't know how people do it, especially in this the worst recession ever. I can only conclude that people get themselves into massive debt for them and I really wonder why. What is it about these things that makes people willing to sink into so much debt just so they can drive around in something that is now as common as the rain?? I'm quiet baffled by it actually, can't understand it.

p.s. I don't own a car .... I couldn't even afford a bicycle
