black rain

Don't get me wrong, my E60 is in great running condition and I still love my ride to bits ( suffice to say it still puts a smile on my face every other day...)
But the itchy bug has been biting me more and more of late and the idea of an F10 has been tugging at my heartstrings.
The dilemma in my case is a pragmatic one.
My current ride has 14 months to run till scrap and it's fully paid up. I pay nothing else except for gas and the regular preventive maintenance if I continue driving my E60.
The depreciation on a F10 in today 's market averages $20,000 per year. For those of you who are still driving cars with 8k-12k depreciation will agree with me that 20k depre. per year is a hard hurdle to accept.
So in essence, if I defer my desires for another year and keep my E60 to the end, I technically will save $20,000.... At least till I am forced to scrap my current ride.
(To put things in perspective.... Here are some pics of my current ride.)
I would love to hear some thoughts and hopefully be enlightened!
