^^ Oh I know the repair records on a BMW are enough to keep me out of one almost indefinitely. But their engines... oh, their engines.... :o
I'll just wait for something else new to come out with a usable form factor (i.e. compact SUV with a turbo-diesel motor and a multi-speed gearbox) or perhaps a true plug-in hybrid that only uses gas as a backup method of motivation.
In the meantime, I had a nice conversation with my upcoming tuner via email. It seems I'll get all of the tweaks to the engine and transmission that I want. That makes me VERY happy :)
