There's going to be another replay at 12ET and then again on Sunday! But it would be nice to have a download for archival purposes.

They should paint the pedals 3 times, fire the clowns designing the chime sounds and use the money they save to hire an engineer that can come up with a car that is capable of going over a pot hole without feeling like it is going to break in half.

BMW Driving Obsession

Just finished watching it on cnbc and thought it was awesome. Just thought it was funny how everyone at BMW was obsessed at what they do. Kinda reminded of me and how I'm obsessed with their cars. Definitely the Ultimate Driving Machine.

I loved the opening scene with the guy driving down the autobahn talking about how there is no margin for error at such high speeds, without wearing his seatbelt.

The rest of it was pretty interesting as well.

The show was good. Agree with the comments above with no seatbelt and about the rattles along with the pothole discussion.

Would like the hd version to view as well

They talked about Mini and Rolls Royce early on but not in depth.
