On a side note anyone ever see the england version of top gear where they took a Audi twin turbo A8D and drove it over 800 miles on 1 tank or diesel the freakin car got 42 MPG you know dam well some one is keeping that from coming to the states.It would have to be out for a few years but id own 1 for sure and id be looking at a few improvments also :D

since 2010 you can get whats called the m sport package, different steering wheel and slightly different cosmetics than a regular sport package and it throws the m badge all over the place lol, they do not make a m7 you have the m1, m3, m5, m6, x5m, x6m, and my favorite of those that i have driven would be the m5 my god what a nice car, but i do agree the twin turbo v8 in the 7 series is extremely nice for how big that damn car is

i'd do naughty things to have a M3 with that 4.4l v8 in or one of the new 335d's

oh the m3 are badass no doubt but imo after driving it around for 20 minutes i got tired of hearing it scream to make power. i have driven a 2011 33d with m sport package and i will tell you i would sell my left nut to have one of those damn things as a daily driver. with a jbd fuel booster they are running low 13s quarter mile and still getting over 30 mixed city highway. **** driving a prius when i can get almost as good mileage and have a close to 12 second car

Came close to getting 335d. Wife did not like it becasue it was a bit small. She liked the 535 better. I am hoping they come to the U.S with any 5 series diesel. BTW the 335d drives really nicely
