Yep, we're on the hunt for a new ride for my wife. We brought home an '04 BMW 545i Sport for the night from my buddy that works at the Lexus dealer. Used with 9k miles. (We can buy it for about $15,000 less than a new one).

Needless to say, I G-Teched it. It ran roughly .4 slower to 60mph than my Denali. Factory Stall, slipping trans, and all!! The car feels like a rocket! 6-speed auto. 325hp 4.4 V8. You've all read the reviews. And yes, the I-drive would take a while to get used to. Nicer than I imagined though and we've owned two M3's.

I'm still pushing her toward a year or two old H2 with a Radix (hey, I have to keep her slower than me, right?...) Looks like we could get a nice used H2 for around $40k, $6k for the Radix... I think I may be winning!

 

I've harassed the BMW owners in the Memphis area for a while my kills include a 6sp 03 M3 and a 04 M5.

 

Any openings at your office?!?

 

Nice! Both respectible low 13 second cars!

Getting beat by a truck/SUV are the reasons I never own anything stock, car or truck!

 

those 545i's are a nice setup. my dads got the 545i in steel blue with active steer, 6 speed, tinted windows, sport package, premium sound, nav, HID's, etc. I love driving that car.
