Nice writeup.

I still can't make my mind up on whether I like this car or not.

I'm getting an oil change in a few days and I know the dealer has them so I'm eager to take a look in person.

A BIG part of me just can't swallow this new design ethos. It reminds me of the '02 7 series, it looked weird and had a terrible interface. But it drove well.

I still think it was a huge mistake to not offer a V8.

A late 460 whenever my 430 bites the dust (god knows when that'll be though lol) looks and better to me by the day.
