I picked up my first BMW, a 2003 540i 6 spd sport package w/36K, last week. Previous cars have spanned Honda Prelude, Nissan 200SX, Nissan 240sx, Toyota Camry, Nissan Pathfinder, GMC Yukon, Ford F150, Mercedes 400E. Currently, drive a Toyota 4runner. I live in the Boston area and looking forward to the 540i driving (and hopefully few repair) experiences. The car so far has been lets just say an invigorating experience on the road. Matt
