... I have a few comments.

First, I don't care what you are doing when you screw up and break your
car.  
If I was a worthless driver, I could do the same screw-up in my 325is.  In
fact
I know of a guy that did it in an '88 325is.  It's NOT the cars fault.  The
driver
made the downshift.

Second, I don't have to shut up.  I do howver have some advice for you. 
Quit being
such a jerk.  It's folks like you that BMW people a bad name.

Third, if you can't handle the delecate nature of a real performance car,
GET A HONDA!
