True. The TSX V6 or IS250/350 would probably be two of the closest competitors.

Among Asians, I would say that the G37 drives the closest.

I thought about it, but the stance is already pretty good. The front can use a slight drop. I may look into BMW Performance suspension kit, but it's $1500 + installation.

I got a ticket for not running a front plate on my old car. I don't want to give them an excuse to pull me over. Plus, it already has holes in the bumper now.

...love the new grille!

...can you have the reflectors tinted? It would go with the "dark" theme you have already started up front... I think that would look sweet...

Who cares what other people think, do what you like.

If I ever owned a higher model version of a car, I'd still debadge it in a heartbeat. Those that know about cars would know what it is without the badge. Those that don't, well, if they can't tell what it is without the badge, obviously aren't into cars enough that you should be worried about them liking your car anyway.

You can get genuine BMW parts from http://www.getbmwparts.com. It's a lot cheaper than the dealer.

Actually I've already been to the dealer once because I was getting long cranks. They did a software update, but I'm still getting intermittent long cranks maybe once a week. I don't know if it's worth it to take it back at this point.
