Iron Fist in a velvet glove
 After owning eight previous BMW's, I can honestly say this is my favorite.  This car is probably too much for the street in most instances, but don't let that stop you from picking one up.  Maintaing one of these cars is a bit more expensive (namely the high end tires), but with the maintenance programs that BMW now offers on their new vehicles this is less of an issue.  Very quick, amazing handling, and probably the best brakes ever put into a production vehicle add up to a whole lot of fun every time you drive it. In the immortal words of Ferris Bueller "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up".
