Love that silver.

PS. What are you looking to get for the HID'* from the B-ville?
You know, those are very rare now because of the DOT enforcement initiative. I paid $500 for them, so I would have a hard time letting them go for under $400. I'm thinking the best solution is eBay. I am in the process of taking them out today. Remember that the Catz HIDs are probably one of just a couple of brands that are actually reliable!

I've pushed it a couple of times... I believe it'* got 282 hp and 324 ft-lbs torque... It drives differently - you can really feel parts of the road and engine. The V-8 is strong and speaks up when you push it...

Nice, those BMW V8'* are built really well. They are also known for good tranny'* too. How smooth of a ride does that sucker have? I'm guessing a little bit better than the bonnie.

It is more smooth at high speeds, around 90+. And it'* also smoother because it'* newer.
