This is the actual car.  I guess I am finally growing up.  I still love the sound of a healthy V8 but this car rocks.

It definitely is a Q-Ship.  I looks like a nice little family car you see all the time, but underneath the hood lurks the twin turbos.  I still prefer a manual so a six speed it is.  Quiet, smooth, and fast.  Can't wait to unleash a few more HP with a chip or a tune.  And it gets 28-30 mpg on the highway.

This is a great car.  It has nice luxury touches and it is fast and also handles like a sports car.  The stereo really rock and it has the HD radio which is great for WXPN.  I love that station.  I also like the bluetooth.  It is great to take phone call without being too distracted.  But it is good to keep those calls short.

I do not think i want to buy it out after the lease is up because it has so many expensive parts.  And who can work on it besides the dealer?  but I do know the off lease prices are great so I may have to think it over.  It has been a very reliable car.  I have had zero problems so far.

One bad side of a BMW is that it brings out the agressivness of other drivers.  Maybe it is because there are a few jerks driving BMWs or maybe other drivers are jealous, it is hard to tell.  But I can tell you cars speed up to cut you off and rarely let you in during a merge situation.  Strange.  I want too discuss the reasons for this with those other rude drivers, but they always misinterpret my motive when I try to get them to pull over.  Go figure.

Who knows what my next car will be?
