Took the 330i to get the airbag recall done... and test drove this beauty. All I have to say is WOW...

Don't get me wrong joop, I appreciate the new cars! It's just striking how different a lot of them are to where they came from. But, BMW is a business, they have to compete with what else is out there. It's a matter of finding what works for you as a customer in their lineup depending on what you want.

That said, I've been enjoying myself in this 5 series today. The technology actually benefited me a lot already. It's a thousand times safer to sync my phone up to the Bluetooth and use it for my music and the built in nav comes in handy rather than having my phone propped up on the console. It's all well integrated into the driving experience. My girlfriend is enjoying driving the 5er as well...since...she can actually drive it and it's a hell of a lot more car than her prius! Plus she likes the auto-start stop feature since it reminds her of the Prius as well... Lol

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the courtesy vehicle. The new vehicles really offer a lot, perhaps a different offering than what a ZHP driver might expect, but I think its pretty hard to deny that they're great vehicles.

Ok, clearly an M-sport, but was it a Z4is? I love that generation and would pick one up in a heartbeat if finances allowed...

Yeah it had the M-package, I don't remember the exact model. Sticker said 65k so I bet it was the 35i. It had GORGEOUS metal weave interior trim and I loved every single thing about that car. It jumped to the top of my list over the S4 and E39 M5.

Awesome. Glad you enjoyed it.
