Ok, can you call it luck that they had a bolt of lightening hit right at the right time? lol

Nice car! I had the opportunity to look very closely at the new 5 while i was at the race. unfortunate i didnt have a camera with me. But i have been able to come to better terms with the lines of these new cars.... they still need refinement tho

The Z4 has the Sport button as well. I really dislike the whole concept of the Sport button because I think you should have all of the car's potential on-hand all the time, rather than pushing a button. From what I've read/heard, it really changes the way the M3 drives. I know personally I am always driving in a sporty manner (taking turns at an aggressive pace, accelerating quickly, et.c) but sometimes I want to go all-out like when I am accelerating from a tollbooth and I want the car to just respond the way it should...not via the push of a button or whatever.
Oh yeah, and the new 6-Series looks good !!

As am I, I love how much power my little car has. I love driving fast. [headbang]

I consider myself a good driver (especially for a 16 year old), since since day one I started to drive like that, just incase I need to do things quickly. I don't know, it seems like a good idea to learn to do things quickly, so you have a fast reaction time.

Having sport mode lets you refine your car to your mood. in sport the suspension tightens up, throttle response is better, and (if you have SMG or SSG) will shorten the time between shifts as well as raising the change point. Turn off sport and it increases comfort for motorway driving. (you do NOT want to drive 1000 miles in sport so you have a choice)
