Well practically got the better of me for a little while. The Jeep needed to go as the warranty was up and it was ready to fall apart. It came down to 2 cars the one I got and the Audi S5. The S5 costs ~$10k more and with 8-9 month waits to get one I was all set. While I like the S5 better I don't think it's worth $10k more and would never be able to wait that long for an order.

2008 BMW 335xi. 300hp 300ft/tq twin turbo I-6 AWD with a 6-speed. BMW claims 0-60 in the 5.2 range and low 13's in the 1/4. All and all quite a fun car to drive. handles fantastic. Through BMW dealers you can buy a DINAN ECU flash that will bring it to 382hp and 421ft/tq by increasing boost from 8.5psi to 13.3psi. They also do a stage 2 package that includes a larger front mount intercooler and more boost which gets you 420hp and 450ft/tq or so. On to some pictures. Color is Space Grey with Coral Red leather, it's fully loaded Nav and all that other crap....
