I thought about the SI, but I decided to keep the Bimmer for the fun stuff as it's already paid off. I needed something that gets good gas mileage (my previous Honda was a 93 Civic which I consistenly got EPA of 34), The SI get's only 1-2 better mpg than the 330i (I get around 26) & needs premium to boot. It also needs to run on cheap tires/cheap maintenance as $850 per set of tires every 20,000 miles on the BMW kills me on my 180 mile round trip everyday commute. (I was previously eating through 2 sets of Michelin Pilot Sport 2's every year.) The truck only gets 16mpg so I won't go there.
