It is pretty cute though.
When I travel I often find myself in some little econobox like this. It is frightening to drive one, the last time I was on the freeways in L.A. in one of these the vague streeing was so bad the car was all over the road and the back end was so light that I felt it twitching the entire time. And the thing was so thin/tin that if anything had happened I'm sure I would have been dead. I was very happy to get back home and get in my beater--a 16 year old Integra GSR that was a 10x better car. Makes you appreciate the Z4M that much more when you've been in one of those little death traps.

This SA told me both are saying they're due so I'm like "OK, cool, do it then" LOL. So I'm going to pick it up at lunch. Can't wait.
I'm glad this is fixed, and the whole "key thing" is rather maddening isn't it? At least you had to take it back anyway, so no harm done, and you get more bang for your dealer visit.
