I bought a new 2003 M5. In fact, I could not even purchase all of the options I wanted to add due to the way you cookie cut the cars being imported into the USA. It will be the last in a long tradition of BMW's I will ever buy again. I will opt for Mercedes next year for my wife. Even she feels they have become quite an ugly family of cars. Go ahead and release it and ruin the M3 as well. I hope your 1 Series carries the load for you. Good bye!
