The wife is pushing for the 40i b/c she doesn't think I "need" the M50i.. well of course I don't "need" it - it's a toy plain and simple. Plus, with the way the environmental standards are going, this may be the last time you can get a twin turbo V8 car - everyone is going to 6 cylinders now!
Are you aware of the car club rebate? That will get you $1000.

Which do you do more???
1) Floor it, on the racetrack, and test the very boundaries of lateral grip in your 6500 lb SUV...

Or.....

2) Listen to the radio?

DHP helps in literally every turn you take. IMO DHP is better suited for those driving city or suburban where the lateral g forces are experienced on a regular basis.
