David,

I have to admit that with one exception I really liked my now ex-wife's BMW
325is. The exception was the steering wheel, couldn't adjust it low enough
(I like a steering wheel damn near in my lap). Great fun making the run up
to Stony Point, NY where we kept the boat for one season. And I made a run
to Newark Airport in extremely icy conditions in it over hilly roads that
when I left the house I never thought I could do (in fact I am sure that is
why my ex-wife insisted I take the BMW, it was a ski trip with some buds
and she was pissed about it and I am sure she wanted me not to make the
plane).
