 I absolutely love this car.  I've owned 
it for only 3.5 months, but its my 
second BMW (I also own a 2002 X5), and 
this is one of the most enjoyable cars 
I've ever driven.  I wish they offered 
the M3 in an AWD version, as I would 
have bought that for the extra power; 
but don't let the stated hp mis-lead 
you, as this car provides more than 
enough acceleration to make for a very 
enjoyable ride.  I shopped this against 
the Audi A4 and A6 Quatro's and the 
Infinity AWD model, but you simply 
can't beat BMW on performance and 
handling - I highly recommend this 
car.
