    I read a great review in the new Automobile magazine...and, believe it or not there is also a positive review in the new Popular Mechanics magazine on the new Evo X... both reviews indicate that while the Evo X is much nicer than the Evo IX, it has not lost its fun to drive factor...all models come with Brembo brakes, Momo wheel, S-AWD, yaw control and Recaro seats... the MR option adds the 6 speed DCS tranny, an upgraded suspension system and forged wheels...I can't wait to get mine...

    The reviews all indicate that its a tad slower in a straight line (due to added weight) than the IX but faster around corners. Better overall - not as much turbo lag. They say its more refined - to appeal to a wider audience. It looks like a great car. When do you get yours? Is the transmission the only difference between the GSR and MR?

    The MR also has forged wheels, better shocks and springs...I will not get mine until mid-2008 when my current M5 lease expires...I'm looking forward to it already though...

    Reminds me of when the Porsche 996 came out which "outclassed" the 993.
