Boring?
well my 940 is a little stately
All too often my commute is an oasis of calm in a very stressful day. an Auto helps in this.
Although any car is what you make of it.
Its not boring when you use the gears or kick down and run it to 5000rpm, I drop to 2nd on a local hill every day and use the "hold 3rd" button in 30 mph areas, and 1st in the 10mph limits at work.
The 940 is not an exciting car, my last was a manual and I used to forget to change gear regularly.
My Mums current car is an old 325i, it is only a bit over a tonne with 175bhp, a five speed box with sport-mode and rear wheel drive - no way is that boring, although she drives so slowly she gets 40mpg.
