Wow.

What an amazing car. Yeah, it's mid-life for me. Early forties. We bought a used Saab 9-3 convertible about 8 months ago... and all I got was guff from family members about the kids in the back of a vert. So, now, we hear nothing.

While the Saab is seven years old, I must confess that the EOS is much more of a car. So quiet and solid. I'm also getting around 33mpg (I drive very carefully) with the 2.0t manual.

Anyway,

Hi!

Update<< By the way. We have 2,000 miles on our new 2008 white base model EOS. Cheaper and less to go wrong.

Welcome fellow American. Actually you don't have all that much less to go wrong. But enjoy your Eos anyway.

clarifying the "less to go wrong" statement

For the record,

My belief is that there is less to go wrong with a manual trans versus a computerized dsg automatic.

I certainly realize the top could become a nightmare. Warranties are a nice safety net.

Welcome!

Hi Wade,
Had my mid-life 40 something too, another BMW 4dr sedan, or hardtop convertible. Chose the Convertible! Am very pleased with the fun factor! German engineering still, and practical in Hawaii!
