I use the car for return journeys from KL to Seremban. Previous cars I've owned : Citroen bx 19gt( Still own), Alfetta sedan 2.0 ( still own) ,  wira 1.5, waja 1.6 manual. The BMW is an exceptional car. Comfort-wise, the Citroen would win by quite a margin. As for drama, the Alfetta would win hands down. However, the sheer power of the 328 is breathtaking and exhilarating.  Most of the time, I'll be holding on for dear life within a twenty seconds of acceleration. With time I've gained confidence to throw it around corners, though I haven't tried it up to Camerons, where I grew up, or up to Fraser's hill and back from KKB and down through Bentong. I still miss the feel of the manual. Is it  possible to change to a manual gearbox. Also, having used and abused non ABS cars all this while, I'm of the opinion that ABS is not really useful in the tropics. As long as you drive below 80 kmph in the rain. And I've seen many a Merc in the ditch during rain as well. having ABS is not good enough, you need to know how to handle the car when the wheels start locking. ABS was  developed for the continously icy and wet roads of the nothern hemisphere. Do we realy need it here? :stupid:</p></blockquote><p></p>
