ok, the obvious question.... with the incredible documented repair & maintenance history of your fleet....please tell us the aggregate miles of your fleet over the years-to-date. i'm guessing 1.25-1.50 mm miles. |

On a serious note, I think that there's something to be said here about well-engineered (with notable, much commented-upon, exceptions) cars that are well-maintained and that the owner extends the necessary effort to keep on the road. In today's disposable society, most users don't know or don't care about how to keep a car on the road. Efthreeoh has shown us what's possible. Anyone could do follow suit if so-desired. |

you had creature comfort covered. very interesting, my 2013 335is cabrio has seat heaters but NO steering wheel heater....whatsupwiththat?? in the same spirit, my (dealy departed) 2007 z4m roadster the same....NO steering wheel heater....wouldn't ya think that the cars with "removable" roofs would be the ones with the freaking steering wheel heater?? we've owned a number of BMW's and many of them had/have steering wheel heaters, but not the ones with removable roofs??

but what's the logic by BMW design engineers to create an Ultimate Driving Machine with top-down, heated seats and NO heated steering wheel?? |
