My brothers wife has a '07 BMW 335i. He lives in a brand new neighborhood which has only a few houses built so far but plenty of wide open empty streets. I got into a debate about the LS and his BMW. I figured his beamer only had the straight six which is only good for about 230-250 hp, so i promised my LS would take it as brothers are bound to due. We went to a straight EMPTY road and lined up. My LS didnt even come close !!! After being laughed at and returning to his house he revealed that the new 335i has a turbo'd six that stock has 300 hp, and he has a factory Dinan preprogram that pushes the HP close to 380hp, and thats just a computer reflash that still allows the car to fall under regular factory warranty. I couldnt wait to park my ass in the drivers seat....I'm sold. BMW truly is the "Ultimate Driving Experience". Our domestic cars are such crap in comparison and not just regarding drivability. I know BMW is a step up in class/price ($650/month), but to me its worth every single cent and then some. To those on here who already have BMW's, CONGRATS. I now think the LS is going to be the last domestic car that i will own. To those that can afford it....LOSE the american cars, they are sooooo behind.
