I'm almost 6'1" and it was fine for me. The car weighed practically nothing, and I had a lot of aftermarket modifications done to it. Coupled with dsc, it was like riding on rails.

Quoting Aero145 (Reply 23): Did you just wash your cars before the pictures were taken, or don’t cars simply get dirty where you live?
They get dusty more than dirty - a 'California Car Duster' can be purchased at Pep Boys and used to wipe off the dust every few days! lol

62 BMI727: BMW's look good in that blue. (Interlagos Blue?) Anyway, yellow is not an acceptable color for a BMW in my mind. Keep it to silver, black, white, and

88 JAGflyer: Essentially yes but the EL includes a more luxurious interior, Civic SI engine, 4 wheel disk brakes, quieter cabin, and nicer body styling.
89 MCOflyer: Well the car looks awesome. Nice set up. I like how you went with the black wheels rather than chrome. Hunter

95 MCOflyer: What happened to the full bird? Well at least someone agrees on how crappy the chrome looks with black cars. To me it is like waving a neon sign. KH
96 BMI727: I am a sucker for black wheels....even on a Scion xB. Chrome wheels look good on a black car, as long as they aren't Dubs or something like that. A c

112 MCOflyer: Awesome, what kind of chip do you plan on putting in there? KH
113 KiwiRob: Thinking of Superchips, I'd like to get an AC Schnitzer or Hartge one but they cost a bomb, so probably not worth it nor would my wife be happy.
114 MCOflyer: Speaking of which, does she drive the BMW? Well, I'd like to get a mini but I really love the Jetta TDI. KH
115 KiwiRob: She drives the BMW, we had a Golf 5 two years back, a good car but not in any way as much fun to drive as the mini. My Clubman is the only one in town

130 2H4: In the trunk, where it's going to stay until I get a ticket for it. Then, I might consider moving it to the front window, on the dashboard. 2H4
131 MCOflyer: Agreed. I often wonder if the TDI could pull a 32ft sport Cruiser on a Tri axle trailer. Uh oh, a role model is breaking the law. All kidding aisde,
132 2H4: Manual. I drove a DSG, and found it distracting. I found myself concentrating too much on manipulating the DSG to create the desired effect. To me, i
133 MCOflyer: I thought DSG was made to be easier and less distracting. I myself prefer a 6 spd manual. KH

136 Scooter01: No, real gasoilne. -Too many stinkpots in the area already. And I love the view from my "office" on a nice day... Scooter01
137 KaiGywer: Just put it in some dirt, then throw it on the floorboard by the passenger seat "It fell off"
138 IFlyTWA: Thank you! I have seen those Delco 2000 series 8 Track stereos in dealer literature for the '82 and '83 model years but have never seen one in person
139 Andz: I still have the same one. 2006 BMW 320d manual.
140 KiwiRob: I have two diesel vehicles neither of them stink. I can't see why anyone in Norway would buy a petrol powered car, petrol is more expensive than dies
141 MCOflyer: How many miles does she have on her? Excellent observation. I wish Mini would import a diesel for its cars here. KH
142 Andz: Just over 60,000km now. 3 years old at the beginning of May.
143 MCOflyer: Andz and Kiwi, Does it come standard with free maintenance or extra $$? KH
144 KiwiRob: Not in Norway, nothing is ever free here. My wifes is 18 months old 24k, 6k to go before the its first service, this will cost about 800 USD in ripoff
145 Andz: Mine has maintenance included for 100,000km or 5 years. All I pay for is diesel, tyres and top up oil.
146 MCOflyer: I believe that is what BMW advertises here in the states. Well here in the states Mini give out 35K miles of free service. I am Fxramper or a current

149 AKiss20: Well as a boiler plate, I got the car after 3 years or so of 45 miles a day commuting from my father, so it had a good 80,000+ when I got it, but even
150 MCOflyer: When I worked for toyota, I seldom saw one in the shop compared to the XB's where I saw those all the time. Is it leather on the interior? KH
151 2H4: How would the insurance company know the engine has been modified to produce 200hp? 2H4
152 MCOflyer: If you get into an accident they did not know, you would not be covered. I wanted to do some mods before to my caliber that is what they told me. KH
154 AKiss20: Ya can't say much about the xB, although my friend's mom had one and I never heard any complaints, but I never really asked. We didn't go for the lea
155 MCOflyer: Good idea to not opt for leather as leather can make you stick versus vinul and cloth. KH
156 Andz: I will never have a car without leather again. Vinyl is just tacky, and cloth is difficult to clean. I have never had sticking problems with the leat
157 KiwiRob: Before the BMW we had a Mercedes C class with MBtex, the stuff looks like leather but it nearly impossible to kill, great if you have kids, next time
158 AKiss20: *shrugs* to each his own. I prefer cloth, although leather can work well in a 172SP
159 EA772LR: That's interesting, as I owned a 2006 xB for a few years, with ZERO problems, and then a 2008 xB...see below again with ZERO problems
160 AKiss20: I have to say, I don't like what they have done with the new xBs. The original had a very radical charm, they were so out there in terms of design, b
