Unfortunately....it was her car before. Had to get her an SUV to drive around our 4-year old son....thinking about eventually super charging this sucker to have some decent power.

Thanks for all the love that I'm getting from you all! Nothing better than a bunch of BMW owners coming together to share their knowledge. It's the best!!!!
