Dude, when the OG buyer ordered the car and spent oodles...
don't you think they would be like I am when I order a sub and figure I'll get my money's worth with toppings?
PUT IT ALL IN THERE!
No B&O or no Sport Diff...wtf dude, you're nearing 60K anyway...load that bitch up!
I presume all weather mats are on order? I used to think it cheapens the interior but now when I see carpeting
I just see sand granules and smelly coffee stains sitting on the floor.

I kid, Dr. Tribe and I meet regularly to kvetch about getting old.
I temper my distress with bourbon. He apparently does it with German auto parts.

Yeah, my anecdotal observation is they had been hanging pretty steady in the high 40s and low 50s, but I think the new F90 hitting the market probably hit the values pretty hard.

Hey, ummm, @Midnight Mystery , if you're going to call a sedan a "dream car", this is what it looks like.

I mean it is the ultimate driving machine...
and no, I would imagine even the Caddy would have had a hard time keeping up.
What I would do is launch the S4 with the AWD and when I hit like 20mph and Tim caught traction I'd slam on the brakes and put on my hazard lights to celebrate my win.

Honestly, I didn't used to like BMW's. I thought they were boring looking and I had no idea what they meant by "Ultimate Driving Machine." Until I owned my E60, here is the list of every car I had ever owned, either myself, or with my wife:
- '76 Datsun pickup
- '91 Acura Integra LS-SE
- '87 Honda Accord LX
- '96 Honda Accord LX
- '00 Honda Accord SE
- '03 Honda Pilot EX-L
- '06 Acura TL
There was a bit of a theme. And then I wanted more performance. I test drove Audi, Lexus and BMW. The BMWs were eye-opening. All of a sudden a light went on and it clicked. Now, I know the brand, I know what to expect and they keep making a lot of things I like (and a lot I don't). For me, they just seem to get the mix right.
