My wife and I have a long standing disagreement in what we like in cars. I tend to lean towards bigger cars and comfort with carrying capacity, and she wants to go from zero to 100 MPH right now.

We test drove this car on Tuesday, and both immediately fell in love with it. This car is fantastic and hits middle ground somewhere between soccer mom and I still want to have fun. The visibility in the car is amazing and the comfort is incredible. And as a side note I hit 100 MPH on the short on-ramp, so it's no slouch when it comes to speed.

Dealer found the car we wanted sitting at receiving in NJ (car has decked with every package). We are hoping for delivery next week.

I really think that BMW under estimated the appeal of this car.
