My Ride: '05 545 Sport Week 9
Just heard this from a friend that was there. There were 15 wrecks as a result of the spilled oil. The driver (not Sabine) stayed on the track until the halfway exit, thus making a huge mess. :thumbsdown:

[/quote]Actually, I think the M3 had the "smokescreen" as the standard feature ... a/k/a the "blown rotors" ...

I'm trying to get my brother into a 118i. I think it's a nice car.

My Ride: F02 LCI Individual
Model Year: 2013
The 1 series is real nice, espacially for driving in the EU citys.
The only thing "not so nice" is the rear seats. Pretty tough to enter and exit, very uncomfortable for taller persons. But still waaaaaaay better than a Golf.

We are/will not be in the low level of Caddy/Jag (aka ford) but nor are/will we ever be Lexus.
