OMG that is *so* cool!

North America has historically been deprived of the small-displacement BMW 
6-cylinders.  The question most people would ask is why would you want a 
2.0 when you can have the bigger 2.5 version...  But the beauty of those 
small sixes is smoothness and sound.  Without question, the 2.0 has sounded 
better than the 2.5 (or 2.8, 3.0, or 3.2 for that matter).  For some 
reason, it has the turbine-like smoothness that all BMW sixes have, but it 
has a meaner, more "purposeful" exhaust note.  And because of the smaller 
displacement and therefore less reciprocating mass of the pistons, it's 
also the smoothest.

Enjoy it -- I'm jealous!
