This is a great car for anyone who just wants to put gas in and go. Always runs as expected with no issues, however one of the most boring and un-engaged cars I have ever owned. This is not what I would expect from BMW. I suspect this has a lot to do with the auto transmission. The car always feels like its in the wrong gear and has horrible lag when you stomp on the gas as the computer tries to determine what to do. Very disappointing BMW, shame on you! Word to the wise, if you are buying a BM, stick with the manual.

I searched for many months to find this car. The elusive 3.2 6-speed manual is a rare beast that did not disappoint. The motor is smooth as butter and makes tons of power, all the way to its 7K redline. Matted to a close ratio 6-speed and Audi's famous Quattro system makes this the perfect all weather performer. My only gripe is the fuel economy. The car loves to rev and makes beautiful sounds, its is shame to up-shift early in the name of fuel economy :) This is a drivers car!
