looks like every other BMW; I understand their 'need' to keep the dual kidneys grill on every model, but they all look the SAME! so many better looking cars out there. FWIW, I drove a friend's M6 the other night. perhaps my expectations were too high, but I thought $115K should have been more impressive.

Looks like the same size as the 1st generation ody. From: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123681816&page=5

A quick update: We took an ownership of a 2007 Audi A6 yesterday. It's a pretty sweet car - seems like a different species compared to other cars out there. I'm still trying to figure out how the car works. The owners manual is 395 pages long. The MMI (equivalent of the BMW iDrive system) manual is another 200 pages long. So far I think we know about 60% of the car's capabilities. Will probably post a couple of pictures soon.

No hierarch issues with the 328. What you want though is the 2006 MY 330i or 530i which got the 265HP 3.0L just before the 335i engine came out. since 2007, for the E92 (328i/335i coupes) it's actually 2 30 hp and 200 lbft torque (less than...

One little issue, it needs some tint on the back windows. Otherwise, top notch. That's the same color as my Silverado pickup. I had one of these for a rental on a two day trip. I liked it.

I like it, never cared for the lines of the previous generation. I agree that it appears they have toned down the lines, more like the current 3 series. That said, it's a tad out of my price range, but I could hit the powerball.

The toyos on my Mazda were quite good in snow, but I only had them for one winter with brand new thread, as I purchased winter set afterwards. However, the tire noise is simply terrible; it gets progressively worse as the thread wears down. I still have my original tires, I am too cheap to buy another set, as these tires still have at least one season left in them, but I just switched to my winter tires and the noise level is so much better,...

yes a trailer is also always an option. sadly they don't sell the Mazda 5 down here...
