1st Time New Bimmer Owner
 In US Army, and drove an 18 year old Bimmer for 2 yrs in Germany.  Loved it so much and impressed I bought a new one.  My first sports car! Got the jet black stock color.  It hugs the road like nothing I've ever driven.  Goes effortlessly to 110mph, and it's great to be able to do this on the autobahn and still be legal!  Fits my 3 kids, 11, 9, and 6 in the back seat, though it's tight.  Trunk bigger than expected.  I too have had trouble shifting smoothly with the "drive by wire" clutch it has.  At first I thought it was me, but looking at other reviews I guess it's just the technology. Too bad it can't keep you from stalling it too.  Overall we love our Bimmer!
