We just got the 340i for my son, I drove it and my first thoughts were ... man I could really live with this car as if it were mine. Very sporty, tight and powerful car.

I was told there is going to be a pretty big price increase on the 340 and I also was reading BMW is changing the way they lease and the rates are going to be considerably higher so if your thinking of making a move you might want to check it out sooner rather then later.

Not trying to get defensive but this is not a nice post ... I know you don't have kids and if you did you most likely would let them drive your cars and teach them how to handle it ... no worries but I feel very good being able to get him that car and he is a really good kid.

AF, you strike me as a very sweet guy. No judgment from us required.
