Thanks man the 7 series is a joy to drive, I picked it up about 2yrs ago for $30k with 32k miles on it from a local dealer. My wife drives the 7 now but is going to be trading it in for a new Acura MDX that she wants. I am keeping the 540i because thats my baby, but will pick up the X5 4.8 soon. Dont worry about losing to them damn Honda Civic guys, those cars weight little to nothing and then they throw Prelude H22 motors with turbos in them to make them fast as shit not including they damn near strip the interiors out to lighten them even more. Also there is a button to turn off the "cute little circle" which is your traction control, when you turn it off it allows you to smoke the tires and do donuts and shit lol. I have smoked the tires on the 7seriers before but the thing is a boat and will get lose on me and if I crash it I may get put out of my house by the wife.
