Replying to: fedlawman (Jun 23, 2008 11:20 pm) You Tube can also help; I'm currently trying to re-learn the Glen, as I haven't been there since 1988  As far as simulators go, a tanker friend of mine is going to get me some seat time in an M1 Abrams driving simulator. THAT should be interresting...

Replying to: tagman (Jun 25, 2008 6:10 am) The 135i Coupe is NOT that vehicle. With BMW's latest focus on technology for technology's sake such as the iDrive controller, 2 step-vehicle starting, steptronic transmissions that must be "relearned", gimmicky turn signals, etc; in addition to their focus on impractical SUV's that are at the bottom of their class in practical cargo room and God knows what they were thinking with the release of the X6; in addition to their release of a "smaller" sporty coupe that was rumored to be a reincarnation of the much loved and missed "2002", which more realistically turned out to be a slightly smaller version of the 3 Series Coupes; you will begin to understand my frustration with a company I can no longer support with unbridled enthusiasm. Do they serve Kona coffee at Lexus?

Replying to: tagman (Jun 24, 2008 11:46 pm) Is that not a good thing? Rightly or wrongly, there is a certain stigma attached to an "entry-level" vehicle. "The 1-Series is more of a man's car..." It's funny you should say that. I took my wife to look at the 1 series on the weekend. She said it looks cute and funky, and she added she can see a lot of grads getting one for a grad present, and she can see a lot of girls in particular going for it. In fact, she proclaimed that when the lease on her Mini ends, the 1 series would be on her short list.

Replying to: tagman (Jun 25, 2008 10:17 am) I wanted to personalize the 545i's license plate with "do you feel lucky, punk?" but it just doesn't fit. One more month to go. |

Replying to: tagman (Jun 24, 2008 11:46 pm) Educate me. What makes the sport seats so desirable? I have to say that the standard seats look like they hug you pretty well. My E46 has standard seats and I do find myself sliding a little when I wish I was being snuggled more, but the 135's seats do not compare to the E46 seats.

Replying to: tagman (Jun 25, 2008 10:17 am) The stats on th e3er is probably skewed because of the large number of 323 and 328xi wagons which no doubt have a large fan base made up of secretaries, young housewives, and upwardly mobile young real estate saleswomen and young female lawyers. It may be more interesting to look at the gender split for the 335 & 328 sedan and coupes only. But I agree, that's neither here nor there.
