My Ride: 2004 545i
With nothing seperating me from the freeway except a red light, a titanium 745i pulls along side of me in the left lane. My lane ends in a 1/4 mile. I had no doubt that the other driver was thinking the same exact thing that I was, as I click over to sport mode. The light turns green and we both hit it. He's gapping me badly, as I am trying to stomp the gas pedal through the floorboard. So badly, I wonder if he knows that I'm even trying. There's no catching up, I'm admitting defeat right as my cell phone rings. It's my wife. I tell her that I just got my doors blown off by a 7. She tells me that BMW service just called, my 545i is ready to be picked up. They'd like their loaner X3 3.0L back.

[/quote]You go ask that poor little X3 about my driving ability. My size 12 was crammed up his arse for three straight days. I thought if I beat him hard enough he might show me a few extra horsies. I thought wrong.

Good one 
I was almost in panic mode.
I had a 745i for a loaner once. Was nice, but not my style, but then neither are the X3s they have foisted on me the last 2 times.
