I am actually also stepping out of a tuned 335i that didn't get 24mpg set at a 90mph cruise. That being said, I will certainly miss the insane acceleration, even above 80mph.

Congrats on the new ride e92law. Post some pics. I will be joining you guys soon. Spoke to my CA and he said that mine is arriving on the 22nd and should be able to pick it up two days later. I'm counting down the days. Already got my mods all ready to go.
