Thanks a great color combo! What's surprising is I don't think I've seen that before, seems like a no brainer with the black.

i know! i really can't believe it. i thought it would be as common as AW/red

Congrats! That's one mean looking dust magnet.

Ha ha. Just playing. I've had 2 black cars. Always love how mean they look. Yours is straight up sinister! Just too wimpy to do the upkeep now.

Love this color!

Off Topic: Didn't you used to live in Texas? Remember you from your 991 lease payment.

Nice! I sold you a Gintani exhaust off my e92 years ago. Nice to see you back in a M car. Congrats again.

Welcome to the BSM F80 club

On another note, can you comment on the 7mt in the 991? I keep hearing how aweful it is compared to the previous 997s 6mt. They say 5th-7th is especially terrible with the exception of the newly revised manual gearbox in the 991 GTS.

Absolute blasphemy

I loved it! Clutch felt a lot smoother compared to 997 generation and the feel of the gear box was superb
