The inside has a tiny bit of wear on the shift knob and e-brake but that's it.

We took it all over town yesterday apartment shopping and my gf really likes it also. She hasn't driven it yet, but we're taking it to Saint Augustine Friday so she likely will then.

It's also looking like we'll be able to get a place to live with good enough parking too, so no problems there. Two car life stays.

5 for me. 2.5 at a CC then 2.5 at a University. FInished my MBA in like 14-15 months :doe: They had the option of taking 5 "quaters" (summer, fall, winter, spring 1, spring 2) a year, and I got approval to take an extra class during some of those, so I finished in 6 quaters. Started summer 2013 and graduated fall 2014 or something like that.

My school was 5 years because of their co-op program. Graduated with 1.5 years relevant work experience plus the degree. Win.

Yeah my first 2.5 years at the community college I was working MWF and some weekends, then after that I started a full time job which is why the rest of the BS degree took another 2.5 years. Night and online classes while working 40 hours a week for that and my MBA.

Those are all good stories guys but Dave took 5 years because partying takes a lot of time. So suck it.

True.. My school was a commuter school (CSU Bakersfield) and I was commuting to it. Didn't attend a single college party. Whoops.

The seats (assuming they're similar) are pretty perfect for a 100% street car. The adjustibility is nuts when coming from poverty cars. The motor is also pretty cool, not very "turbo-y" in feel compared to a GTI. I still haven't really driven it hard at all, but it accelerates nicely.

I partied a lot in college... University of Miami.

I also worked, but fortunately most of that was as a live band audio mixer at bars/clubs, so getting :drunk: on the job was a big part of that.

M sport seats are fantastic with the adjustable bolsters and thigh support.

First tank (filled with donkey piss): 27.15 mpg, mixed driving, my commute is mostly highway but with some stop and go mixed in, plus some in city :derp: driving. It felt weird and great to fill up my car and have the price start with a 2. I went ahead and put donkey piss in again. It drives just fine with it.

3rd here, so my share of college parties were pretty minimal. Most of my house parties were pretty much in high school, or with friends :aintcare:

This is exactly why you shouldn’t get the IA. These used bmws are insane values compared to new and other poverty vehicles in this price range. You can easily enjoy this for a small up charge over the IA and not hate yourself every time you get in to drive

More power, but that's about it. The ECU will adjust.
