It seems weird that the 5 and 7 series seemed smaller to you than the 900 since they are indeed bigger. the 3 series is comparable though. I've ranted before about BMW's before as I could not figure out why all the fuss. Don't get me wrong, they are nice cars and they handle extremely well, but their engines offer a lot of yawn for the money. I recently test drove a 330I and found it to be very gutless, nothing like my Vig.

The BMW interior isn't nearly as ergonomic nor intuitive. And since we are on the subject I'll make this point as well. BMW's are always talking about how they have 50/50 balance and how the RWD set up is better around race tracks. But I was watching speed channel the other night and the SCCA races were on and guess what, the front wheel drive Accura's and Mazda's were in front of the BMW's and the Lexus I-30's (with 2 less cylinders I might add) If RWD was that much of advantage it would have shown up on that course-but it didn't.

On BMW's side, I have to admit though, it has a better chasis and brakes, but that may all change come October. My 2 cents.
