Pete Egan has long been my favorite automotive journalist. His Side Glances column in February's R&T has a BMW theme, albeit E46.
"The gas pedal wouldn't go to the floor if it weren't meant to be there"

I beg forgiveness
"The gas pedal wouldn't go to the floor if it weren't meant to be there"
"Our 1968 Volkswagen Beetle was getting a little tired. You could tell, because the engine blew up." LMAO... funny guy....
I still haven't received my copy of R & T yet.
Egan is the reason I subscribe to Road & Track and Cycle World. And also why I save the damn magazines rather than trash them....

I forgot how great a writer he was
"I could hear his car long before it hove into view, and suddenly a squat silver object came resonating up our driveway like a banshee howling through a cheap megaphone. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a slammed, much modified Honda Del Sol, apparently the latest addition to his varied and always unpredictable fleet of cars.
"Where did you get this thing?" I asked, reaching for the missing passenger door handle and finding only smooth, streamlined paint.
"I got it from a kid in Milwaukee. It was a pretty scary neighborhood, so I think that's why there are no door handles. It was a security measure."
"Neat," I said.
Chris popped the door open electronically, and we rocketed off into a clear, cool morning, the car filled with a hollow, droning exhaust note that reminded me of a Swiss alpenhorn played through a 100-watt Marshall stack. Off on another road adventure.
But not in this car, luckily."
