 Back in my twenties my ride was a Porsche 911S and I developed an appreciation for German engineering. Years later, the Porsche long-gone,  I wanted a sporty but luxurious ride.  That is the definition of a BMW sedan.  It really brought back memories about what DRIVING a car was all about.  It's gorgeous, too.  Contrary to previous reviewer, I really appreciate the rain sensor wipers (intermittent wiping speed automatically adjusts to how much rain is hitting the windshield), the automatic headlights (never have to worry about leaving them on), the auto-tilt side mirror (it tilts down so you can see the curb when you parallel park).
