BMWFS doesn't tier their rates based on credit quality - it's either a "yes" or "no" decision on qualification (unless they've changed something very recently).

Tim, the $600 is excessive. I've never heard of anything that high for a doc fee. I assume there's no statutory maximum in GA.

Your situation seems simple - if your "deal" specified all the...

GoVols, I suspect the "lag" issue you describe is a drive-by-wire issue common to all (many) BMWs, and probably not specific to the diesel engine. I have it with my 4.8. Therefore, I wouldn't count...

Do you have rear A/C?

I know with mine, if the fan in the rear is turned up, the air flow to the front is greatly reduced.

Exceeding the speed limit is illegal as well (and would be considered 'unsafe' in most situations). Who here can claim they never do that?

apw,

Looks nice.

When you say "fuel consuption is reduced", do you mean you MPG actually increases? or MPG is reduced? (I would guess the latter)

I think the Navigation is what really slows it down (which your 528i loaner didn't have). Also, bluetooth phone sync up slows down the start up of idrive.
