“Free” because she bought it? That, my friends, is called racer math.:laugh:
Congrats, Scott. What differences have you noticed from your E53X5? I’m thinking that I’d like to replace mine with a oil burner in the next couple years.

I’ve not spent hardly any time in it yet, but certainly there’s a lot more buttons and knobs. IMO any normal person would be somewhat bewildered by the complexity of the thing. It’s not just a matter of i-Drive, it’s the fact that most of the buttons, knobs and levers have additional functions that are executed by simultaneously “pushing this and pulling that”. Or simultaneously “twisting this, lifting that, shaking your right foot and doing the hokey pokey”.
I’m going to have to sit in the car with the manuals in my lap and carefully go thru them function by function.

And then when Scott thinks he has it all figured out, Sara will show him how it really works.

I guess she saw that the racecar project was close to completion and she needed something new to keep him out of the house 
What engine has it got?

What engine has it got?[/quote]You mean, at this time? The interesting question is how many engines Scott can swap into it before Sarah tosses him out!
