You're quite welcome.

The great thing about an extended test drive is that the salesman won't be with you. This way you can spend time with it, tinkering, sitting with it at WOT, etc.

I too know a lot of people with love/hate relationships with their Beemers. Seems like just about everyone has a story. GREAT to drive, not so great to fix. But that's the story with any luxury import really.

The nice thing about the Explorer is that it does share a platform. So most of it's bit, mechanical anyway, have been tested. Electronics though may be a different story.

Keep us updated!
