Too bad it wasn't in the episode description of I would have recorded it. It was a nice piece... they were very positive overall, only mildly bashing AS and then only because he claimed he didn't think it was doing anything and that he'd just as soon save the $$.

Which model did they review-- the 530, 545 or the new 550?

2004 530i. Since the episodes we get are very old, this was their first bit of coverage about the new 5. Probably aired in 03 or 04.

I've had it on TiVo season pass for a few weeks. The shows are a few years old, but enjoyable nonetheless.

How about Sabine in that episode--she's the BMW Ring-Taxi driver, right?
