I didn’t want the payment anymore, it only had 51k miles in it. I still get to drive it at least once in awhile lol.

Yea, the STX does look a lot like the FX4 and there are piles of STX listed as an FX4 or I’ve even seen XLT listed as FX4 but either they have a 4.6 which is a dead giveaway or chrome bumpers lol. The programmer makes it feel like a cable tb!

> +1 for drive by wire sucking. My company cars are like that and when you really need to pass someone it SUCKS.

> I was in WV and talking to my coworker and didn’t realize the lane was ending. I was already more than half-way done passing an 18 wheeler and barely made it out of there by hitting the gas. Had I known it would have taken 2 seconds to do anything, I would have just slammed on the brakes.

I HATE it too!! My 325i is not as bad though for some reason but I still don’t like it.
