My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
So I worked all night and drove the first two hours of the trip in the snow (530xi is awesome) - then we stoppped to get coffee and I let my wife drive
1. She will never figure out the i drive - just says "I don't care"
2. The triple blinker thing - she figured out in 45 seconds - so no one else is allowed to complain about it
3. I fell asleep in the passenger side. When I woke up we were being passed by a toyota priuis. Told my wife this was agasint the BMW code. She made me go back to sleep.

My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC. Dinan Performance Software 384hp & 421 ft/lbs.
There is a Toyota Prius out here by me that must have a a V6 shoe horned into it. It is fast. I checked the specs on a stock one and its 10 secs 0-60. This one caught me by surprise, by the time I realized how fast it was, it was past me. I caught up and passed it but my car was floored. Anyway its kind of cool.

I'm not kinding, it had to have a custom motor. I was caught at around 2500 rpm's and I did not downshift because I did not think I had to. I do race a considerable amount, most fun in the turns.
