Too bad you didn't get the facelift you would also have 6.

You must go to Starbucks! LOL! You can't get out of there for less than $5!

Based on these poll results, I'd have to say this site is populated by a bunch of lead foots! :D

Or is that lead feet? Hmmm.

I drive spiritedly.. I don't use Steptronic, cause the 330xi is a stick. :)
I average about 80-90 on the highway. I don't really drive agressively and weave. I only pass on the right if the person in the left lane is doing under 75 and won't move.

I have a certain procedure for going through toll booths, however.
-Slow down to 30-ish
-Turn off the radio.
-Downshift to 2nd.
-Roll through the EZ-Pass at 15
-If nobody's in front of me, it's full throttle all the way up to 95 or so, up to redline listening to the best song ever, the noise of a BMW straight-6. Then I turn the music back on, and settle into traffic around 80mph.

Order a sweetened Passion iced tea. Out the door for $2.00, and the most refreshing drink you can possibly have when it's hot out.

I would say that I'm in the middle of medium and aggressive. Whenever I need to pass quickly, it's a natural instinct to jump into manual. When the gas needle is getting low, I really get to driving for fun. The X is much lighter and the road seems more open to me:driver: I also enjoy the manual mode in rush hour traffic.........Phil

Right now, I'm driving like a grandma, for obvious reasons. I'm ALMOST at 1300 miles! Then I can floor it! I usually drive kinda in the middle, but not at all slow. I like to do "take-offs" when I go on to the expressway on ramp, @ about 10 mph (if nobodys behind me), then slap it in sport, and floor it till I get to 75-80. Me and my friend with an S4 do it all the time :D :D
