But it is freaking sweet. Interior pics look darker than in person for some reason. Pics just don't do justice.

I like it! I think it looks great, although I've never been a fan of odd shaped exhaust tips like that. The tips from the Acura TSX (or whatever they are called) are the same.

Other than the exhaust tips, that car is very nice. I'm sure you'll enjoy the hell out of it. Congratulations.

It has the park assist that beeps when you get close to objects and the backup camera but it doesn't have the self-parking feature. I'm not that old yet...

^^ I agree, my bird never gave me any problems. But that's not the only reason I picked the Lexus.

Dude drive any car that way and don't ******* sugar coat it, I know how many back to back passes you make on test and tune night, it is going to break.
Your VW didn't break because it didn't have enough torque to break anything.
It was slow as dog ****. You should have kept for awhile with the tune and it would have broke. 14's is not fast...get off the import ****...

Still love you though

I heard they pull around 14.0 flat. Not bad for a luxury cruiser. It's no track car though. It has the same problems as the IS350(which is the fastest Toyota currently in production). Soft suspension and a computer that keeps you from pushing the limits on a track. If Toyota was willing to let their buyers actually turn the electronic nanny off and get sportier suspension that IS350 could put the 330i in it's place.
