cool car Tom.

I've never noticed any performance or mileage difference between brands of diesel (I have with gas though). I have heard that bio-diesel will make less power, but I never tried it.

Nice looking car! I bought the 335i for my daughter this summer and she absolutely loves it!

I've never noticed any differences between brands on my diesel truck... and I've even run biodiesel a couple of times.

I just read up a little on the bio-diesel and it seems very hard to find in Socal.
You would think it would be more available with all the tree huggers/left wing people in this State

It seems that BMW claims very little emmsions with AdBlue UREA injection anyway.

I heard about 3 series being for girls with wealthy fathers

I will say at my age (41) it did cross my mind about being too old. I could have bought a 5series for close to the same price....but not a diesel and same fuel economy.
I forget about the age thing when I drive it though. Even my wife at 37 said the same thing.

Weld is running biodiesel...never thought I would see Greg go green.

That BMW does look good. Are you going to change with wheels?

Tom --

My comment wasn't about age at all -- or it being a girls car.... I love these cars! I'd buy one for myself!

Adrienne's is white -- and the only other choice was black... but in AriDzona -- Black is just too much.

The diesel technology is just amazing... Audi is just killing the 24hrs of Lemans with their diesels... and a friend has a MBZ diesel minivan... it's quiet and powerful and you'd never know it's a diesel.

Greg, I did not think you meant that at all.

However it is borderline chick car anyway
