The RWD issue is something that will always work in BMW's favor. I've actually never owned a FWD car, but have driven enough of them to know I prefer RWD by a fairly wide margin. Looks like maintenance costs and reliability are also in favor of the Ti. Too bad they don't have that cool self-ejecting spoiler!!
Anyone in California have a lead on a nice, smogged, Ti? Preferrably in black or any of the blues, with Sport package (not sure about actual Ti terminology yet... Sport, ClubSport?)
