        I miss my beast!
        It has been in service for 2 days for a transmision failure, and they have me driving a 528I. Just let me say that there is no comparison. It shouldn't even be in the same class as our cars (E60.) Not that people do put it in the same class, but just no where near the same car. I didn't realize that we were so spoiled. I didnt realise how much I love my car, and how much I dont mind paying my payment now. Can't wait til I get my car, but doesnt look like it is going to be anytime soon. My SA called and said that the mechanic didn't know what was wrong with my car. I hope they find out soon b/c this car they told me a bmw is def not the driving experience I want for a long period of time.

        They say you dont realise the value of what you have untill you lose it. In your case dont have it in your hand.

        Should we still complain about its low end torque or how bad it is on fuel consumption ? lol

        I go to the same gas station so often that the attendent knows my pin to my card and knows to put a fake # in for the milage.

        "Gas Station attendent" I have heard of such things but here in Cali I have never seen one....do you mean a gas pump?
