So I was sitting in the BMW. I heard something on the roof; next came a pull on the door handle. Turning my head to the window, I see a woman attempting to open the door, thinking it was her car.

She quickly mouthed “sorry” and walked to her car in front.

We have an F30. She has an E90. How one confuses the two, I don't know.

They’re fairly similar. To a non car person, they’re probably the same thing.

More reason to not drive a sedan. Wagons dont blend in well, and you certainly cant confuse them for something else.

Drive Mercury, this has never happened to me.

Just more reasons to not drive a cookie-cutter car in a cookie-cutter color.

I see your point.

The E90 has such a horrible ass.... I wouldn’t buy one, just for that reason. :/

Wow, other than the tail lights (and I assume the front as well), basically the same body.

I completely agree.

Did she put her handbag on your roof? Ugh

Ehhh, there are worse looking rears in BMW’s lineup over the years. E90s are up there though.

Happily, nope. It didn't go that far.

Yah, but a classic Montego isn't a practical family car.

Yeah, I want one, but I don’t need one. Attached is a drool-worthy 5er.

WHOA

First off, most 1968 Mercury Montego’s are more reliable than BMW’s, and have drastically cheaper repairs and maintenance, also - seating for 6! It also has an exceptionally large trunk -I know because it has an entire exhaust system and a set of 4 new wheels in it right now.

Secondly, I’m clearly kidding it’s no where near practical, it’s loud as hell, doesn’t have heat or AC, let alone power brakes and gets about 3.75 mpg. LOL

Thirly, I drive a 2007 Mercury Milan V6 as my daily driver. If we need something bigger we have a mildly lifted Jeep Commander.

Warranty for four years means no worries. Besides flat tires. Those suck.

Not a fan of a glorified Fusion, but to each their own. The Commander is a pretty interesting build, though.

Everyone needs a wagon.
