i know shift@red would disagree.

how do you guys find the new m3 reliability? this is the one thing that keeping me from going to the new m3 if it is about the same as the e46 m3 reliability wise.

Hopefully 1M will be even better car than M3.

I was so surprised how concave the rear ZCP wheels are. Same 10" width as my Advan RS with less aggressive offsets and still more concavity!

Not a fan of the new "Start/Stop" concept.

This was rather troubling:

If used for a DD in rush hour traffic, your battery life will probably be reduced; for what...20 g/km?

What, does Al Gore have pictures of Kay Segler blowing a dude?

It doesnt seem worth it.

For those taking their cars to service, it'd be nice to switch to the new oil cap... if it's any better indeed. I do my own oil changes, but if you don't coat the gasket with a light film of oil (like on regular oil filters), the gasket can bunch up and make a royal mess, like many owners have found out the hard way. Cap looks identical on the outside other than the lack of an oil bottle symbol. A pic from the bottom (any '11 owners reading?

) would be nice to tell the difference, if any.
