Uniqlo apparel in US?

Aside from the Accord comment he's pretty much on the button.

Not sure about that, but regardless that's a pretty tough statement to ignore. I think the increased safety and space allied to lower weight is a good thing as do many others, but my experience with the regular-series cars is limited to occasional loaners so I'll let this thread get back to topic.

I have a Uniqlo tracksuit top ("dry" or something like that) and sweater which are great quality for the money. Hopefully the tennis gear is the same.

Yep, 25 years of experience is not enough (last 10 with BMW)...
I'd suggest you understand the BMW a little bit better

Please join us at the e90post.com, you may learn some.
Plus, my 335is (beside the looks) feels like the step up from the F30. I am hoping they improved some of it (steering/handling) on the F32

Actually, I believe Accord handles better than the NON-SPORT package F30. Nowdays, you have to get all sorts of packages and adaptive/dynamic steering to bring it closer to the BMW signature characteristic -- steering feel and handling. Unfortunate thing.

Not much I need to learn my friend. Already a member on M3post.com, one of the few track guys. But it will be interesting to hear if the coupe is more to your liking.

Boys and their toys! Compensating for what, fellas? Truth be told, technology is very democratic, most cars handle pretty well now, and American roads don't present a need for exceptional handling. Drive the autostradas in Italy and you come to understand why Europeans developed competent cars, but the point is fairly moot on this side of the ocean.

Too much disposable income

Thank you for your insight.
I totally disagree as I lived (and learned to drive) for 20 years in Europe, then, past 3 years again in Europe...and to answer to your question -- compensating for driving Skoda Octavia and Passat Wagon those 3 years in Europe (minus the weekends in my wife's 120d SE)
You can find as interesting and challenging roads in the US, too. And, daily driving in Dallas is as exciting as daily driving in Munich or Rome...

Good, then you should know that new electronic steering took 3er the wrong direction, and that the size of the 5er is also not helping the handling of once benchmark 3-series...

Of course, but the slightly larger size comes with no weight penalty (in fact, it's lighter) and that is of far more importance. As regards the steering, I'd imagine the F80 will be a total different proposition and that's all I care about. If not then I'll stick with the E92.

Similar to you, I lived in Europe for 23 years.

I've never driven in Dallas, but I'd (perhaps mistakenly) assume it would be similar to the standards of road behaviour in many northern European countries. Rome is quite an eye opening experience in comparison.

aparently...you can only get them on E Bay or if someone sells on this board...
I am not sure WHY... I asked UNIQLO some time in August and they told me they plan to sell on line in the Fall 2012 and I should sign up for the updates. I signed up and have been receiving 6 months worth of spam trying to sell me jeans, pants and shirts...
