[s-cars] My butt momentarily in a BMW

[matt ludwig.]

must be a relative measure, as i would drive a number of bmws, if i  
did not live in an area where i literally *needed* AWD. they are  
great cars and while getting a bit too one-touch for my taste, still  
make very fun, dedicated, enjoyable, reliable cars to drive.
