The last sentence in this article gave me a wonderful idea. Good thing that these guys are in Seattle, eh?

Notice that I said absolutely nothing of it's driving ability. I just spend most of my time in a car....inside of it. As a byproduct, I won't tolerate a crappy interior; hell, the seats in my Cadillac were one of the main reasons that I got rid of it, they were adequate, but not that good.

A good car needs to be reliable, get good mpg, etc., but yeah, I won't settle for a bad interior.

Agree completely! The interior is not as comfy as my 6 with busted seats, but its just a commuter. 35 minutes a day in it won't kill me

e34s are great cars - but dont get the best mpgs

Mmmokay. Just rolled from Santa Cruz CA to Roseburg OR non stop without refueling. 523 miles, 26 mpg averaging 72 mph.

[5Toes]

Yeah my car can pull around 26mpg at 60mph with the auto - but in town the fuel economy sucks.My tranny is very tired though, probably the main part.

That said, expect to see my 5 speed swap VERY soon

Woop woop! Makes me want to go out and drive.

but in town the fuel economy sucks

Troof. Unless I drive like grandma I get 20ish around town.

[5Toes]

yup my car gets like 15 around town, but I like to accelerate fast sometimes :)

You don't drive a BMW for the MPG

Yup. However, my alpine gets about 27mpg on the freeway :ohsnap:

You don't drive a BMW for the MPG

Besides the lackluster seats, I sold my CTS Coupe because of the MPG. I noticed that it was exceptionally bad when I got 25mpg in my e30 and started using the LS for long hauls.

So some of us drive our BMWs for the MPGs :)

This.

People drive BMW's to fill a void in their life or to compensate for having a small one.

That's what bro trucks/rolling coal is for

[Van Westervelt]

I have more than one bmw. The only reason, is my cock is lost in the forest. I have to compensate.
