If I were a trucker heading south on I-35 to San Antonio through Austin I’d be taking 130 there and avoiding the city anyway.

When is the last time you had an 18 wheeler deliver a package to your door?

Yeah, while not directly related to the buyers question, this should be noted as it is not a bad idea to shop around for the best rate.

I’m curious why you didn’t hook up with I-90 in Wyoming. Did it have to due with weather and the interstate being closed? I drive to Jackson, WY from Minnesota every year, and I know it doesn’t take much to really turn a drive into quite a slog.

You can get one with the N55 and lower miles for the same or less.  

I guess if you call a 60% bump in horsepower a badge and trim package... 

Super cool car. The conversion looks very clean. 10/10 would love to drive, but at that price you could just by a 2005 M3. CP

Then what is it?

If you do the math, 20k miles over a year is still only 77 miles per day if the vehicle is driven 5 days a week.  

There is an amtrak stop in my small town, and it’s great being able to walk to the station and get out in downtown Chicago.  Not having to drive an hour to get to the airport an hour early is pretty nice.  Overall, taking the train adds about an hour of travel time, but you arrive feeling much more rested and ready to…

I highly recommend the train for trips with kids. Especially if they are the kind that demand more attention.

I was wondering about that to the point I tried to look up if the 8 contained 5-series underpinnings. 

A system like this was included as a plot point in one of the first episodes of The Good Fight, so I guess I thought this was already a thing.

I have yet to have an employer allow ME to decide what is right for ME when it comes to healthcare beyond determining how much money I want to put toward an HSA.

My dad’s boxter would get a crease in the middle of the plastic window if we didn’t stop the top half way and get out of the car to straighten the window before putting it all the way down. So dumb.

Neutral: Looking forward to taking the 135i out of storage if we ever make it out of this endless winter here in MN.

Probably my 2005 LS430.

I’m surprised to see electric steering wheel adjustments.

As a family that regularly drives from MN to WY, I would absolutely love this thing for that trip.

Finally AutoTrader has a vehicle trim option which makes it a little easier when looking for a car from a maker that bundles their options in trim levels.  It’s still not perfect, but better than when I had to look for cars with headlamp washers and specific buttons on the dash when shopping for my LS430.
