My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I don't know which model exactly, but it was one of the newest models. I knew he wanted to race at the red light by the way he was revving his engine. I let him go first for a split second and then proceeded to quickly overtake him despite his trying very hard and then watched him get smaller and smaller in my rear-view mirror. I was driving my '02 325I and he must have been shocked that such a slow-poke car spanked him. Before I get any complaints, this was at a red light on a highway style double lane road with no houses or driveways in the vicinity other than the intersection at the light. It was fun and made me appreciate my E46 with 106K miles on the clock.

Take it from me (a former 1999 Saab 9-5 SEV6 owner). Saabs are easy meat.

Yeah, I thought it was funny that a Saab, of all cars, wanted to race my E46. He must have taken a look at my aging self and figured I was dead meat. Boy, the yoke's on him.....
