Last year, after my 2001 540IA, Mpack etc lease expired, I returned the car and bought an Acura TL.
While the Aura TL is an excellent car, (especially the NAVI/DVD Audio) I quickly realized it was not a beemer, and certainly not a 545 !
Last week, I purchased a 2004 dealer demo with sports, premium and DHP, and fell in love with my car again !
I will post some pics when i get the time this weekend........
Once a beemer owner always a beemer owner, its in our blood !
Glad to be back

Nav and DVD-A was awesome, but the TL simply didn't "do it" for me.

Bimmer = BMW Car
I once called my car a beemer in front of a BMW Motorcycle fanatic and he quickly corrected me. I never forgot it.

Anyhow, Welcome back. I seriously considered the new TL before I bought my 330xi, but did not like the front wheel drive feel and torque-steer. Congratulations on your purchase!
