I know. I think the kids talked her into it.

honestly, it's more her type of car than the 750i was.

no probs since they replaced the crapasonic battery.

is there an aftermarket battery that can replace it? one of the techs said something about the OEM battery having a breather hose, so you can't just put any battery in it.

Very cool Bob! I'll be curious to hear your back to back impressions once you've had it for a while

as I've considered both the RS4 or the new Evo as potential next cars.

Word of advice - don't use Vishnu. Some people have good luck and some not so much.

Funny how nobody mentioned this car when i was asking...

I think the Evo may be my next car. Seriously. Like you said Bob, with the ECU upgrade this thing is probably as quick as the RS4 for half the price!

Kudos to her on her decision!
