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!
