the newer system is called "xDrive" which is completely different then the older haldex system which had a 60/40 front/rear ratio

this is interesting...

the BMW 3 series... u have to pay an extra $500 for the convenience package (start/stop button, proximity key) and another $800 for the xenon headlines...

that's annoying

as for the taillights, i like the look of the IS's taillights, however, i feel that their trunk should've been elongated, and the 3series, i really didn't like it in the beginning, but now feel that the rear taillights match the lines of the car very well.

regardless, thanks EVERYONE for helping me with this matter... i guess what it comes down to is the deal that the dealership is willing to provide
