I drive aggerssively, I have 9900 miles on my 05" 4.4i. I use the steptronic on the highway and when passing people (I just keep it in the sport mode)

2000 4.4 with 87k miles on it. It drives like a charm so far and looks like new. I do not drive aggressively but use the Steptronic almost all the time. I grew up with manual and using Steptronic makes me feel I have more control on the car that way, particularly when driving on country roads which we have many over here in the Raleigh.

Depends on a lot of factors, like where I'm at, prevailing road conditions, traffic etc...

About 80% of the time it's fairly laid back. Normal Drive, upshifts around 2500rpm, leisurely acceleration. But that doesn't mean slow.......I might not get going quickly, but once I get up to speed I'd rather not slow down for some nitwit in the wrong lane.

Sometimes, like in this good weather when people get too relaxed, I can't help but be more aggressive because these drivers just really tick me off. They crowd in the wrong lanes, they talk on the cell, they hang their arms out the window, and drive under the speed limit. I used to think warmer weather makes for more aggressive traffic, but it seems like people are just in la-la land. I can't help the occasional aggressive lane change. Still, never past 3k rpm.

Then there's the times when I'm alone on the backroads looking for a good drive. 9/10ths driving :driver:..........and oh that sonorous inline-6! That amazing BMW chassis, brakes, aggressive gearbox.......yea I could go on. All the things that make a BMW a BMW come out to play :)

Yea, but even if it goes up $1.00 a gallon what is that like $24.00. Hmm 4.8 lattes. Who cares.

Only someone from Seattle would measure gas prices in lattes/gallon!
