Welcome Casey...

You have a great platform in which to start. It's too bad BMW didn't use a 4-cylinder in the new 1-series. Luxury/Performance, IMHO it needs a 4-banger.

Plus, the advantage of economy.

I have a similarly-sized engine, power, and EPA figures. It's entirely possible to hit the high 30's and beyond, with a little work. Do you have the automatic, or manual? (I'm stuck with the auto)...

Best of luck to you in Med School! What quadrant of Ohio are you in? (I'm from there originally, got my Undergrad work there, parents still live there, etc.)
