and it made me THAT much more happy with my e60. It felt so cramped and small in there. I'm not a big guy either haha. Don't get me wrong, it is a fun car to be driving around (sport package) but I'm glad that I got the E60. More roomier and I have the MT for the times when I just want to go from 6th to 3rd 
To think I almost ordered a 335 coupe! That is all

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
Honestly, I can't imagine driving anything else at this point. I am a big guy - 6'4" - and this is easily the most comfortable car I have had. I have driven the 3 series before and believe it or not I was more comfortable in the Mini than the 3.

My best friend has a 08 328i and ive had a loaner 09 328 therefore i have been in the driver seat and in the passenger seat (which is even worse). Im 6 ft, but i even feel uncomfortable getting in the car, like if i have to watch my knees so that i dont bump them.
Now for the frustratin part of my week, my cars been at the dealer for 7 days, going on 8. Im driving around in a 4 Cylinder Pontiac G6, Its one of the worst rides iver ever sat in i can almost say. I even think that it waste more gas then my e60. Im picking my baby up tomorrow and i think im gonna just run in, jump inside, and step on the gas to get out of that dealer.

Yeah-Yeah, laugh it up, but it's true. I drove a friend Cooper S and had a blast on the twisties (did a U-turn at 70 mph with no tire squeal). And, yes, it was surprisingly comfortable.

Actually I was living in NY at the time, and as some of our brethren can attest there are some great twisites up around Bear Mountain. As for Cali? You really need to come here and see the Angeles Crest Highway - oooh, twisties EVERYWHERE!!!
