Must be the weather down here. Not sure if my orient red 240d counts as plum, but the only part of I-37 I am ever on is the stretch near the alamo dome on my way to get biodiesel, and I am usually in the wagon, so I doubt it was me, but I regularly smoke by people on the hi-way here in my 240D. I can pull 85 if I have to, but 75 seems to be a sweet spot for mine.

All the talk about slow 240D's seems a bit overstated to me. I never have trouble keeping up with San Antonio traffic. Katy (on the way in to Houston) is another story - they are CRAZY over there!!! :b
