Indeed not. If I want to be lazy, I take the X5.

I might not be the quickest with a manual box, but I have the most fun in trying to get the changes right 8)

Just sold my last convertible car. While an early morning run was pleasant, having a coupe is much nicer for long distance touring, especially if one is tonsorially challenged chasing caps that blow off (and don't bother suggesting a pith helmet with chin strap....)

Five sports coupes, and no soft tops to worry about (I do have one car with a removable roof panel, but rather stupidly the manufacturer neglected to make provision for on board storage of the panel, so it is never removed).

Thats hilarious because not only is the 35is faster on straights, it beats the Z4MR and Z4MC in every track test. :wink:

I'd love an MR (as well).
2008 Z4MC: heavy wheels | crap suspension | skittish rear end | wobbly engine | not enough induction noise | underwhelming turn in | inconsistent braking | lardy battery | chubby steering wheel
2006 Z4 2.5si: gone
