Love the speed, I say I like to drive with a purpose.
This car is amazing! Really no complaints, I have had it a little over a year now but it great! Drives smooth, good on gas and excellent speed. Nothing I would change and I am lucky to have it! I say to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle like mine, it’d be a nice fit for anyone really.

Daily driver that fast changes to screaming delight
Yes.... If you enjoy a real joy of a V8 engine without Turbo or Supercharger - this is a great choice. Daily driving is fun and the engine/tranny is almost mundane in the ECO setting - but hit the M button with all the correct settings and you are quickly reminded that this is a fabulous Canyon Carver or Track car... The car can be expensive to maintain if you compare it to your family SUV but when compared to other Exotics that match what this car does you might have to revise your view... This is a enjoyable screaming car that can be driven daily... Can't beat that with a stick!

It has an amazing engine and has a great power band.
It has a classic sports car look. Large drive wheels in the rear. The engine is amazing. I wish it got better gas mileage and the electronics including the stereo could be updated.

The car is black, has two mirrors. It's a five person sitting car.
The vehicle BMW 2011 model is a good car. It is good for traveling. This car was my first choose I really recommend it anyone in need of a simple car. It is a very comfort to drive, be a passenger, and also fellow passenger in the backseat. Car drive good. Car drive bad. Car is nice. Car has seats. Car has wheels.

It is very high performance.
I love the style and how smooth the ride is. The performance is amazing. I do not like that it is a gas guzzler. It is also super expensive to maintain.
