#125 of 740 Checking In....
Thought I would post and say hi. Even though I made the deal a week or two ago, I didn't want to curse myself until the car arrived and was safe in my garage. Car came out of Boston where a guy by the name of Fred put 250 miles on it in 7 months, so while it is not new, it is pretty darn close (was kept in a heated garage). Have not really had the chance to drive it here in Chicago - waiting for a nice rain storm to wash the salt off the roads (oh and I should probably get plates.....).
Still, I'm blown away by this car. My dealer (Brett Midgley of Autohaus in St. Louis) encouraged me to get this car after I missed out on his allocations last year - even though he had the perfect M3 sitting on his showroom floor. After a quick trip around the block (I had to do it, just had to) all I can say is WOW, WHAT A CAR!

Thanks everyone...
Acidblast, I'm in the Western Suburbs RizOne, I really wanted VO, but thought it would be too much like my X6 (ok, seriously, you don't really have much choice of color on these cars if you are not ordering them!)

Very nice story and congrats, perhaps time to check out IND for a few nice pieces as they are in your neighborhood.

Congratulations! One of my best friends lives in Chi-town so I visit often...it would be cool to see some 1M's next time I visit even though I won't be driving mine all the way over there.

Congrats on the car. Best color choice by far
Excellent choice in carriers too. Only 250 mi in 7 months? Really?? How is that even possible? Can't begin to understand why someone would do that.. Lucky you though! Enjoy it and try to double the previous owners mileage in the first weekend! Last edited by robertm; 02-14-2012 at 09:35 AM.. |

Now that's self-restraint, persistence and enthusiasm. In the end you got what you wanted.
