Well, there's ample reason to address this minor defect in your Bimmer driving background. Run, don't walk, to your nearest BMW dealer and test drive a brand new M3. Yes, M3. What the hell, you've waited this long, you might as well go fror the gusto! Go all the way. You never know, you may just end up with a new ride! Didn't wifey, or the GF want a new car?
Enjoy.
It's kinda cool being on this new board, cause of the low activity on it right now, you can talk **** (like this). hehe
