Enjoy... They are fun cars. I had the 2009. Get ready for 15.00 per liter oil and I thought changing the oil in my Porsche was expensive.

Very nice. I plan on getting one of those once I can get down to paying for only one person in college instead of two.

Thanks Everyone!!!

Its the first BMW that I have ever owned, and I absolutely love it. It corners like a demon, and the power curve won't quit.

I honestly have to say its great, I'm not thrilled about the transmission though, it shifts smooth as silk and has a double clutch and all but... I wish it was manual...THAT SAID what a rocket!!

Its better all the way around compared to the 996 imo..
