Rolling black-outs. They do that so that the entire grid doesn't collapse because of the extra draw on the power from peoples heaters and such.

Entire grid collapses=whole cities without power for days

I love that M car.. but 14mpg (my boss average back and forth to work), twice the maintenance of a regular bimmer and 55/60K for a fresh used is a bit too much for my wallet.

I just like that the Z isn't as common as the M3 around Houston and way cheaper to operate.
add the cool factor of having two of the three "Z" cars around...
would be really nice having the Z33 or Z34, the Z4 the Z06 and tell that you just have "three Z" as cars

some of the new car are IMHO too sophisticated and just garage queens.
to be totally hones the better reliable choice in bmw would be to get the 30i instead of the 35i... but the twin turbo (or single twin scroll in the new model) is just too tempting

the V8 and V10 M are just maintenance ******... the V10 is just absolutely insane (on the transmission side) according to my bmw mechanic.

the S5 convertible was another I was thinking about... imho better looking than a 335i vert but less reliable.

If the bmw Z has the Turbo 6 in it, go for it Mateo. Maintenance and elite tax on the M3 makes it less desirable in my book.
