Regarding my post of a month back.... I had just purchased my covetted Urq, when my old ProRallye navigator showed up with his covetted 540i 6 speed... Well, I was impressed, flogging it to find it's flaws (couldn't), and more so now that I read the numbers in the article on the beast (Jan 13 AW).... 5.53 seconds to 60 and .84g on a skidpad, 14sec quarter mile, 1.0g braking at 118feet from 60 (this is AW numbers, guys, not C&D's abusives)....... Holy cow, is this a rocket or what.... All at 3700lbs..... And the numbers would've been better if wider tires were fitted (and it comes with 235/45 on 17X8)! My assessment of respect stands on that auto pretty well, quite the q killer... Pray for snow all.... Guess I'll have to do the 20vt conversion after all, this just plain changes things..... :) mumble mumble... Scott
