I am looking at this on a pocketpc and even on a small screen your car look awesome. I now need to reconsider the interior choice I made after seeing this sport combo.

I think one of two things need to be done here:

1. Make room on the driveway so you can put a sleeping bag next to her.

or

2. Build a driveway into your bedroom so you can park her next to your bed.


Something that beautiful shouldnt sleep alone.

Forget that idea. Just sleep inside the car.

WOW. Nice pics. I was in favor of the wood interior trim, but that sport aluminum trim looks great as well. Especially on the door. I seriously have to make my way to the dealership to look at this car closely.

Can we see the floorboard, the pedals, and the sills (the differences)? I'm just a little concerned the pedals look a little bit too sporty and also would like to see if there are daytime differences with illumination sills. Thanks.

by pressing shift lock button, you can unlock the shifter gate, so it will shift no matter what (useful at mechanic)

I'm thinking that, after paying $50k OTD, that I won't have much choice in the matter. Especially when my wife finds out how much I paid!

Sorry about that Minarets. I promise new pics tomorrow. Man, I just pushed the power button on the car for the 1st time and semi floored it. This thing is a rocket ship! My 330I seems soooo slow compared to this car! Amazing!

Ok few things before I start Rambling like a school girl.

The car looks incredible, simply because the color gives its true essence especially to a machine like that.

Try not to hurt your neighbors feelings, everytime they see you gliding past them revving your beast.

I bet the transmission is so smooth on this car that you won't notice the liquid in your drink moving in the cupholder.

Enjoy buddy.
