e39 says this man is a legend. I had a 535e39 best car I ever owned.BMW X5 - Annoying driver/get out of my way/Cheshire tractor/oh god its too wide I think it will hit my car.../won't be let out onto the road

I drive an L322 Range Rover.
It's in totally standard trim, save for the privacy glass all round, which gives it a look I like to think screams class (to my eyes, it's got the slightest whiff of a Royal Protection vehicle about it).
I expect other people think I am one of the following:
- Eastern European drug dealer
- Owner of a fruit machine warehouse
- Second division footballer
- Builder on his day off
Fortunately, my ego isn't all that fragile in nature, so I can happily knock around in the car of my choice, without worrying too much about the image it portrays of me.

Too right. Plans for full restoration of the E39 in due course!
Pretty sure an E39 says “nobody cared then, less people care now” - despite what PH rose tints say it’s in the same council phase as the E46. These cars are only council under one condition - when they're bought by 'council people'. Even still, they are still getting a lot of car for what is now not so much money. I'd take an E39 over a new 120i any day, especially as the 120i is becoming front wheel drive soon.

Almost same here, but my RR is Super Charged (I like the extra performance that provides) but no blacked out window!It's in totally standard trim, save for the privacy glass all round, which gives it a look I like to think screams class (to my eyes, it's got the slightest whiff of a Royal Protection vehicle about it).

However the Reg gives it all away, in that it's ten years old and therefore "He's a wanna-be", especially as it runs on LPG!
But to be honest, I got it because it has the DVD and screens for my Granddaughter!
For me (it's my 2nd old RR), just the best car on the road.
2nd car - Citroen C3 white with red roof - Must say "Driving the wife's car today eh!"
BMW Z3 - "Old man, mid life crisis!" But really it's my sons car and he owes me money, so I got it until he pays me back!
A bit nice as it's a 3.0 ltr.
Think I'll drive it to work tomorrow, makes a change.

There's only a few interesting cars on the roads these days. 99.98% people are not all that interesting either, hence I very rarely notice or indeed care what cars people present themselves in.
This whole concept is almost entirely conjured up in the head of the insecure, deluded types who can't imagine a perception of reality other than their own.

My E39 suggests that I am borrowing my grandad's car which isn't too promising. My VW Corrados perhaps show my wilder side even if these days the number of people who appear to have no idea what they are far outnumber those who do.
