Only challenge now is the supply chain issues - ship dates continue to be pushed back (now 7/15).
Yeah, I hear you and if I planned on having this car forever I would not hesitate, but history shows with me I won't have it by the end of 2023 or early 2024 when the new 5 series comes out. LCI G30 lifecycle should end with the 2023 MY if not 2022.

Sinking $5,000 into it for a Dinan exhaust ain't going to get me peanuts on the trade up.

But on you rationalization that because it is a $92,000 car that another $5,000 should be a shake of the shoulders, one can make the claim that it is a $92,000 car that needs nothing to most people and in reality, it really does need nothing.

On supply chain - I can't even get my spacers to ship!
