But yours is bigger than hers (if it was a E90). And the peace of mind there's not a toubo in yours, and that lame fuel pump that can fail at your most inconvenience time.

I hear changing out your pumpkin helps out too.

So your wife having a faster car hurts your feelings? Dang for years I only owned Jeeps and all of my wifes cars were faster. Never bugged me....

This is a very true statment.

F30 Sedan is 0.6" shorter than my coupe with double the trunk space and a roomy back seat...Drawback is the sedan part...
N54 engine had the fuel pump issue, N55 doesn't.

Don't get me wrong, I love both.

I may end up going Prius when she gets a Panamera. At least a jeep wasn't designed for speed on the road.

I actually kept her from getting an SUV. I am the family chauffeur, so I felt it important that I love driving all the cars.

This is my all time favorite comment.
