Pretty cool. Using the map I zoomed in on the courtyard of the German Beer Garden that we go to on every trip, Augustiner Biergarten, Arnulfstra?e 52, Munich. I could see the tables in the courtyard! Mmm, great German beer and sauerbraten outdoors in the courtyard. Mmmmm. I can hardly wait to be there on August 2. Mmmm great fresh German beer.

I always assumed that it was beef marinated all day. I did not realize that you could horse sauerbraten.

Both are rather traditional, depending on the region. It's mainly beef today, as the supply of good horse meat is rarer nowadays and many people won't cross the barrier to eat "seabiscuit". Beef is also cheaper. But as ABC said, the old traditional one is horse.

By the way, it gets marinated for at least 3 days, not only one.

Sorry straying off the initial thread.

It looks to me as if the leather on the steering wheel is of a much better quality than the one on my current SMG. The SMG wheel has a black "bumpy" leather wrap -- from the pics above, it looks more like they used the same leather that's on the center console, etc.

Am I right?

That's the MSport steering wheel. The SE one is different.

Dunno what you get with the US 550i Sport Package.
