Have fun!
It's sick! I've only had the car since Friday but I'm convinced that the motor is underrated. This thing blows away the 650i that had 360hp. I 've already been challenged by a couple of MB's an Infinity and a few punked out rides and a simple tweak on the gas and they back right off. This morning I was cruising at 75 when I see this MB C300 hustling to get on my bumper. A little squeeze on the gas put me at just under 100 really quick. This car can be dangerous! I love it and I'll have to splurge for the radar jammer soon.

I soooo miss the torque of a V-8 and the RWD 550 I drove last month really brought that point home!

I suppose you reserved a few extra dollars for regular donations to CT Law Enforcement

Okay, It's been over a year and 30,000 miles and I'm seriously thinking of buying the extended warrantee and keeping this car! It has been the best 5 series yet and I need to stay away from the dealership so I'm not tempted by the additional 45 ponies.
