"booty dust"...spoken like a strip club professional
Yeah, so what's your point? Those overseas business trips get boring. And please, it's gentlemen's club. We don't want to offend.

Utterly, utterly awful. Can't wait for the F10, but thing is just an abomination... BMW would be much better advised to simplify its lineup rather than create more of these niche vehicles. There's just no way the R&D investment ever gets recouped on something with limited appeal like this. I'd take an E61 over this any day of the week.

And just when my heart calmed down with my beloved Porsche company deciding to build the panorama SEDAN.... BMW decided to reintroduce the damn AZTEC !!!!! HELLO, get that Bangle dude back in the design shop, and try to kill this notion of trying to be all things to all people.
