 I have driven an X5, XK8 coupe, Range Rover and a S Type in the past 2 years. I have been HAMPERED with problems with the RR and the XK8 and finally decided to try somthing more reliable upon a freinds recommendation to try the M series.  I literally left 5 minutes before signing the for an Audi 6 and thought I'd at the very least try this car.  I did, I bought it and it's really a tremendous car.  Did I just jinx myself?  Anyway, to date love it.  The air conditioned seats!  What a treat.  I'm 35 years old and it's the perfect sporty sedan for me.   Chris J. Meza
