Replying to: drtravel (Aug 10, 2006 1:30 pm) I remember when I first drove the original SC being extremely impressed by how modern and intuitive its controls were. The inside didn't look dated even when it went out of production in 2000. The inside of the S class coupe and 850i, on the other hand, looks straight out of the '80s. |

Replying to: hpowders (Aug 10, 2006 2:25 pm) I could not care less what logo is on my hood. It's how the car drives and whether it suits my family needs that counts. That is why I chose a BMW530xi. |

Replying to: dewey (Aug 10, 2006 3:01 pm) I was profiling the "typical" BMW driver, who wouldn't think of ordering mt and sport package-who is more into comfort through status and would probably be just as happy driving an Accord or Camry. I'm with you. As long as BMW's are the best-performing in their segment, I'm hooked, even though I enjoy testing other vehicles. Can't wait to drive the twin-turbo 335i next month!

Replying to: rayainsw (Aug 11, 2006 7:49 am) For a few grand more than a 330i you get this: SOURCE: Automobile Magazine Sept. 2006 So in an all-out drag race, the 335i comes close, but can’t quite match the M3’s blistering acceleration. Those numbers, though, only tell half the story. Have a look at the top-gear acceleration figures. In sixth gear, the M3 needs 14.7 seconds to get from 30 to 70 mph – but the 335i does it in only 12.5. That, my friends, is the beauty of this engine. At full bore, it’s as fast as an M3. But at moderate engine speeds, it’s even faster. What a great way to keep us all interested until the next M3 comes along. AMAZING!
