    Not especially a fan of resale red; please send me this one instead; it matches our R8.

    Would love to know how many they actually sell in Europe annually......probably just a 'halo' car even there.....no wonder we can't get one.

    Looks like they tried to go for that effect using tilt-shift lens or post-processing effect. Not good enough to make me think it's a scale model, though.

    The Audi above your post is sick, though.

    These are two station wagons on the used car market right now that I really like the looks of, at the price. They are priced similarly. An 87k miles 2000 528i touring and a 136k miles 2007 328i touring. They're both Autos. Both RWD (not AWD.) Neither are high horsepower rocketships.

    Thoughts on how these two compare to each other? Which would be more fun in the twisties?

    One is 3 hours from me and the other is 6 hours from me, so a comparison test drive would be tough.

    E39 all day long.

    Dinan upgrades and the power problem is solved too :)

    Serious question because I'm not versed in Dinan options. They make tuner stuff for the I-6?

    I love the e39, it will feel lighter and more agile than the E91. I am not a fan of the e90 3 series. They never feel "right". Having said that, I prefer the touring to the sedan, for sure.

    Some cool wagons here. A friend of mine has this one for sale. I actually rode in it the other day. It's CRAZY and sounds awesome. I kind of like it.

    This must have been a nice 'station car' for early '50's Mad Avenue commuters to come home to… Ditto for Del Monte Forest weekends….
