Nice to drive with the moonroof open

I took a little 30 minute drop on some back roads this evening with both Windows down and the moonroof down. I have to admit that the moonroof feels more open on this car than a lot of others and the engine sounds so great with the moonroof open, windows down, and the stereo off. I even turned off the main display (or dimmed it). It was a nice drive and the engine really has a great sound to it especially with the the VDC turned off!

You sometimes forget that the best experiences are the most simples ones. Every once in a while, people should forget about all the modern gizmos in the car, cut everything off and just enjoy going for a drive!

opening your moon roof all the way is all bad. Watch that bird drop the atom bomb on your *** and its gg.

tilt ftw!

^Well, I don't know the chances in your case, but down here, every week after washing my car, I must come almost daily to my home to clean the birds bombs, I had needed to stop my car in the highway and clean it, because at 90+ degrees everyday here, if I leave them to clean it when I get home I will have the hated yellow marks and a good 20 minutes trying to remove them.

I always drive with mine open. Luckily the brown tree snakes have almost completely wiped out the bird population on Guam. It's awesome being able to park under a tree and not worry about birds bombing your car.

This is why BMW's are so coveted by their owners. It isn't about interior styling, or gadgets ... when it comes down to it, it's about the drive.
