Happy for you, Kief. But remember to be gentle as you slowly slide your wash mitt across her sleek agile body.

I just de-slush/salted my storm grey coupe after a long drive to Baltimore. It's amazing how long that beet juice solution sticks around despite 30 inches of snow. The xpel helps A LOT.

I plan to give a good wash this weekend and will take a bunch of pics. I took it easy on her. But couldn't resist the entire way and threw her into sport and opened the exhaust--too soon for dynamic. The grin is still on my face!!!

That's great! It's really hard to not want to sleep in it the first........month

Great pics. You picked the right time of day, with tangential light.

Thanks neighbor (PA). I sort of liked the orange in '15--not that it really matters

After 11yrs at my current home, I finally got up off my **** and finished the garage this past summer. I used Swisstrax Ribtrax

Remember! There is a break in period! Its called "running in" in the owners manual in the index. Take it easy for the first 2000 miles!

Sick car buddy!

I too, am coming from an M4 Coupe which I recently sold..
Do you know how much you got off your MSRP? I saw that you were mentioning dealers doing blowout deals on the R Coupes, but searched and came to nothing.

I'm going in tomorrow to go check one out for a lease.

Thanks!

And don't you go by Jeff over on BP and started a thread over there? I thought you have an E90 M3, not an F82? I'm just bustin' your 60+yr old *****--LOL (inside joke).

Of course I know how much I got off msrp. But the better question, is how much below invoice did I get...First drive one and see if you really want it. Keep in mind these aren't heavily subsidized leases like with BMW. You'll need to negotiate well (or your friend will that is) in order to get sub $1k.

Sub 1k for an R with some options seems a big stretch. I could not do better than a residual of .56 for a 39 mo lease. My lease calculator shows an adjusted cap cost of $85,000 to get get below 1k.
