I am 39 now and this is my first 5 series. I had a handful of 3 series cars dating back to 2001. Personally I didn't want a 5 series in my 20's even though I was fortunate enough to be able to afford one. Not sure why a 20 something would prefer a big mid sized sedan over a sporty, 6 speed manual coupe. The 5 series is my compromise as I have 2 kids now. Once they hit a certain age and I'm done with booster seats, it's back to a coupe, most likely a 6 series (I prefer the coupe to the GC).
