Take back the keys!

What does everyone think about these cars? I am highly considering getting one for a daily once I get the STi paid off... Get one with the paddle-shifter gearbox. sometimes you just want to sit back and cruise without having to shift... especially in rush hour traffic when the streets and highways arent designed to handle the amount of traffic we have in Cinci. I would then turn the STi into full-on race. any opinions?

I don't know much about them, but they look nice. They RWD? or AWD? don't forget winter months... I keep RWD as my race car and AWD as my DD personally.

I was looking at getting one awhile ago. I love the looks, some people hate them. But if you're going auto and just want a daily you could probably just get a 128i or 3 series ix if you want AWD. I'd love to get a new BMW for a daily driver but I would rather spend more on a new "toy" car and buy a cheap car for a beater, hence the reason I bought my Suzuki. I think the 3 series leases are better than the 1, but I recently read that BMW leases are starting to suck in general.
