yep. more like low tank capacity made worse by poor mpg in the case of the E60. not great for long trips. when i drove my 135 from Utah to Florida, it was irritating to have to stop for a fill-up every 300 miles!

I can answer that. A person that can afford a $100k car might wear tennis shoes, boxers, jeans with holes in them, use coupons and yes, even hate getting 12mpg city. That's precisely why he can afford the car to begin with, he cognizant of where every penny goes.

Out of curiosity, how did it manage that? I hope that you don't feel that way because of some dogmatic silliness.

Good point! People in similar salary brackets often ask me how I can afford to race a Ducati and drive an M3, and I simply tell them, "I'm prudent where it counts!"

Simple question. Is this the best sedan you've ever tested?

I think maybe so.

I gotta say. I find Chris Harris very entertaining and informative. He's a real talent being underutilized at EVO. He should be on a bigger show like Top Gear or Fifth Gear. Either show could use his youth and level of energy.
