Hi docpowell. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for your service! I love the 335d. IMHO it is the best combination of performance and economy available. I routinely get 34mpg driving back and forth to work (15 miles one-way, city streets). I sent emails to most of the bug dealerships in the DC area and Passport offered the best deal. My next assignment will likely be in the DC area, their location is good for that too. Sorry you have to come back to "the suck", but at least you will get to drive your new X5 on the Autobahn first! Take care and be safe.
