as i wait for the 330i to arrive i believe it landed in charleston 2 days ago i think of my drive to work every morning pot-holed, pathetically-maintained roads my '97 M3 transmitting every bump in the road into my soon-to-be 38 year old spine yes i know that's why i love the M3 but most of my driving is done to relax on the way to work on the way home from work and i'll have to say that a little more road isolation will be welcomed i didn't realize that at first but i do now i'm sorry about my previous comments to that 328i owner i meant NO disrespect i love all bmw's i'll miss that kind of steering i'll be angry if it suddenly CHANGES with the future builds but i have enjoyed my 39 months with the '97 M3 and i can't wait for 2 more weeks to see my new baby arrive
