312whp/281wtq on a mustang dyno. stock they do about 200-210whp and 185-195wtq on the same dyno. So it makes a decent amount of power for pump gas but nothing insane. just a well balanced setup thats all.

Im still waiting for my '08 MY MCS to arrive around the end of the month which will be my 3rd car. Right now I have a Bmw 335i conv. and a Bmw 750il. As you can see I'm partial to the Bmw family. Im getting the mini for a fun around the town urban commuter, plus I have always wanted one.

Well, now that my girlfriend has her BMW X3 you could say its my other car. We have a very Bavarian garage: seems to be a common theme in this thread

My other car is a 2005 BMW 325Ci, I was going to trade it in for the mini, but when it came down to it, I couldn't part with him. So I just bought the mini instead.

I use the BMW for the longer trips to Vegas and SF etc, just because he has a bigger trunk. I use the Mini to go to work and for around town errands.

my second favorite is my 2008 GTI, then the 01 Golf 1.8T, and then my least favorite is my dad's 02 passat wagon, the only automatic in the house

Ah, well...Currently? My other vehicle is a '01 Ford F150 4x4 SuperCrew (the 4-door). My husband also has a BMW 335i, and he left his truck with parents, but it's a '97 F150 Extended Cab.

Just before leaving Germany in November, I had about six cars on my insurance (since I owned more than he did, the husband got on my policy! We got the "fleet discount"...!) I had the truck in the US (in storage, BEFORE gas prices went nuts), plus the husband's truck; in Germany we had a '95 Ford Explorer Sport 4x4, an '04 MCS (BRG of course!), an '04 BMW 330i, an '07 MCS (also BRG), and an '07 BMW 335i. SO...yeah...fleet discount applied to us!

Porsche CayenneS - 2005 I had originally intended to trade it when I got the new MCS, but decided to keep it instead. The dealer offered peanuts for it on trade. It's in great shape, been very reliable, loaded with goodies, plus I really like it (except for the gas mileage.)

Right now the other car is an 08' Honda Pilot but the DW likes the mini so much she wants her own.
We are building an 08 MCS BRG/White
Looking at ordering around mid-summer.

In our home, my wife has a 2007 BMW 328xi Touring, I currently drive a 2006 Toyota 4Runner and my MCS will be my daily commuting car until the weather conditions dictate driving the 4Runner.

A Bavarian garage for us too. I currently have a '07 VW Eos that I will trade-in or sell when my Clubman arrives. Husband's "family truckster" is an '08 Audi A6. The Audi is a very comfortable cruiser with a Bavarian attitude.
