I didn't see it at first, but white is available at no additional cost.

Anyway, people always find something to complain about.

Yup no sunroof, bad BMW getting cheap!

I'm always amused when someone mentions lap times. There's the story about the lady who lapped the Porsche fanboys at the Ring in a stock Ford van!

There are lots of other similar stories about ridiculous rides out running the sporty cars. The facts of the matter are drivers who go fast have two necessary qualities, courage & skill. Ordinary drivers regardless of their rides, lack one or both. The worst situation is the driver with the courage but no skill. We hear about them everyday on the news.

If you want fast lap times, the best modification isn't to the car but to yourself. Even then, it won't do you much good, because a skill has to be practiced. With cars, that requires being rich!

I actually like the idea of no moonroof. Less to go wrong and a cleaner look IMO. I hardly use mine at all but I'm sure some people use it on a regular basis. Wouldn't mind if they offered a carbon fiber roof.

Just because I'm from Socal doesn't mean I like the sun in my eyes or beating down on my head whenever I'm driving.

BTW, how's the F-350?

No sun in my eyes even with the moonroof fully opened. Hmmm.

Sold it for a Hummer H1.

Well, I do live in Socal. Hotter! Sometimes 110F plus in the summer where I live. Really, it doesn't do anything for me. Glad you're enjoying yours. If it was an option here, I would not have it.

You guys need cloth seats, lol.

I've found out that with the sunroof (or moonroof?) tilted up, the air flow from the HVAC system is better / more intense. IMHO, the ventilation system in this car sucks.

Pretty, and I'm sure cooler. What do you think? Early Christmas present?

I have them and they still look good after almost 8 years. Wish I had the Edition Sport package which had blue-stitched seats, though.

How about those? http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1088421

Even with the Dinan tune and in Cali heat?

No. I'll be okay with Stage 2. With stage 3 Dinan requires you get extra cooling.

Those seats look great! Once the seats on mine start to wear out, I think I'll have an upholstery shop put in some black Nardo fabric on the interior panels on the fronts.

You can't get an individual color in the M2?
