I drove for 8 hours today, from NH to Pennsville, NJ. I got out of the car feeling like I'd been driving for maybe...45 minutes? It's that nice to travel in! So smooth at speed, very safe and confidence-inspiring.. No matter what road conditions were thrown at it (ranging from the huge potholes and frostheaves in Massachusetts, to the twists and turns through heavy traffic and construction in White Plains, to a few VERY sudden surprise stops on the Merritt Parkway) the car just isn't shaken.. and that's what makes long trips in a BMW so nice! You know your car can stop in time, you know it can handle an emergency lane change.. Just the way a BMW drives makes me feel so safe. Ah, I'm rambling.. but I'm overtired and just in love with this car!
Oh, and as a side note, I averaged almost 34 mpg on the way down!
