I LOVE M COUPE..
I been waiting it for so many years but never had a chance to get it.

I had M roadster, E36 M3.. and now I have E46..
but nothing really give me the chill I get from driving a M coupe.

Nice color on the M too.

how much did you get for you car, I am still very much interested in getting one.

Yes but have you ever looked at it? Fuggliest car BMW has ever produced, and that is saying a lot these days... It is like an old Honda Civic hatchback on steroids...

heh... it's a love/hate type of aesthetic, one I happen to like. Photos never really give it justice, but it's a unique, aggressive, good-looking car on the road, IMO.

As far as regrets... Overall, I do like my blk/blk IS 350 sport. However, I miss my BMW and I do regret not getting the 06 530i or possibly a Land Rover LR3 instead. I let the raw speed of the IS lure me away while feeling a little impulsive.

If someone offerred me a decent price for my IS, I'd seriously consider getting rid of it, take a small loss and get the BMW or LR3. But I like the IS enough that it would have to be a fairly small loss of $$ to justify that kind of transaction.

I have mixed feelings about mine. I waited 4 months to get it and while all the features and power of this car is awesome, the price and insurance is killing me.

I'm paying $987 for a 6 month premium for insurance. Can we say OUCH?!! I've been driving for 12 years w/no accidents/tickets too. Another thing that kinda gnaws at me is people say that I bought myself a very expensive TOYOTA. Haters I tell you...all haters!

Hummm ::thinking::

I regret not getting the "In dash Navigation".

I would say that is the only thing I want. Other than this, its all good.

And I am sure people will say, just get an after market DVD based navigation system, but it just doesnt look the same. Might have to sell this one, and get one with the Nav built in

Sexi Lexi, people who make those comments are just jealous! Have you shopped the insurance around?
