Yeap...it's sweet and sounds like...amazing. Tight, responsive...well worth the year long wait and I can't thank Bavarian Motors...Steve Garcia...enough for sticking by me as a customer!!!

I just want to drive and drive....feels weird though shifting.

Great pics man, hope you are enjoying it. I'm jealous of the manual transmission owners right now. Keep us updated on the 1M vs 135 comparison.

Good question...I only have three rims as the fourth was lost by the po and alufelgen is slow-leaking a replacement. The original rims were shipped in late Aug...received early Sept...and now it's almost Dec and no fourth rim.

I contacted them...they contacted me and after multiple emails...probably 10 or so, they finally said they'd send it...but then stopped emails so I don't know anything yet.

I'll keep you posted.

ok cool cause it looks like I'll be keeping the 135 unless something amazing happens.

So have you had a chance to mash the gas in the M yet?
