So THAT's what these cars are for! (Getting my 530iA, Euro delivery, on 5/23: Anthracite/Black, Sport Premium Convenience Cold Weather PDC Sport Seats Folding rears Built last week, according to BMWUSA Owners Circle tracking info.) BTW I was on Cal 74 last month on a visit to the Coachella Valley -- drove across east from Temecula. It's a spectacular, challenging, scenic ride from the pass summit down into Palm Desert. Nice country!
