Oh well, sure beats having to get a ford fusion from enterprise out of pocket.

Look forward to reading the results (mine has production date of 3/08).
FWIW, I feel as if I've been able to drive most of the BMW product line through various appointments (brakes, oil changes, service engine soon messages, etc). The 5 series GT was fast in a straight line but cornering was just... awful. Biggest complaints I usually have with non-M loaners is how thin the steering wheels are and how flat the seats are. Every time I get my car back I smile when I climb in.
