I'm very happy with the 6 cylander, I haven't really pushed it yet as I'm trying to take it easy for 1,000 miles or so. I haven't pushed it passed 3k rpm but it accelerates pretty fast and I do not feel any turbo lag at all. The 8 speed tranny is awesome and is so smooth. Coming from a CVT tranny where there is absolutely no gear changes, the BMW 8 speed feels almost that smooth. I think the best part about the 8 speed tranny is it's over drive. I was doing 80 on the turnpike with 2,200 rpm's, it felt like I was doing 50. You really have to watch the speedometer! I also have to post some pics as I got a Deap Sea Blue which I have not seen any pics of in the forums. Everyone seems to be getting the black, white or red.
