 After buying my 528i in '97 I was a bit disappointed to see the sport
versions introduced later.  I gave a lot of thought to modifying mine
but decided against it.  Still, I want a car with sportier handling so I
have ordered a new 328is.  Well, here I go again ordering a first year
production car.  I think I'm going to like it though even if there are
further improvements down the line.  With a premium package in addition
to the sport package I will enjoy nearly the same level of luxery as the
5 series but with far better handling and slightly better acceleration.
