 I factory ordered my Bimmer last year 
and I must say that I've not had any 
problems with it.  It is the best 
handling vehicle I've seen and 
experienced on the Autobahns in 
Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, 
France, etc.  I'm very fortunate that I 
could drive this car to its limits 
(until the governor kicks in) and never 
have to worry about loosing control.  I 
love BMW performance so much that I'll 
order a M3 next year.
