Seems we share two addictions: cars and watches. My new BMW 3 series lease car (320d exec++) is delivered next tuesday. Driving the BMW through a fast corner while peeking at the Omega Seamaster showing up from under my sleeve doens’t sound too special to most people, but you’ll probably understand that heaven and earth touch each other right at that point…

Thanx and keep up the good work with your blog. By the way: I also referenced resources from your omega-addict site when purchasing my Seamaster, so also thanx for that.

To be honest, I wasn’t too enthousiastic at first. It is a lease car and when I started at my new job, I got an Alfa from their pool. I was quite sceptic (being a BMW fan and driver) but after a while I started to like the car. My father used to have an Alfa 75 TS2.0 and my mother a Spider (the real Spider model) 2.0. Both cars had their share of problems, so it is definately a decision on emotions. While my former Alfa 147 from the pool of the lease dept had some problems, I chose again for an Alfa 147 (you have to ‘order’ your own car after a while) because the car drives great and gives good comfort. The leaseprice is quite expensive, but that probably has everything to do with the value after the contract of 5 years. However, to be honest, my next car probably will be a BMW again. In the end, both brands do not differ very much as for driving fun, but I have a bit more trust in the quality of BMW.

Thanks for your comment!
