The color and wheels really do make the car.

Love the car! But what's up with 2 different key fobs? Does one do something the other doesn't?

That car looks amazing. I know M car guys only buy M cars, but I'm very curious to see how this specific model will impact M3 sales. As a family guy myself, it looks more appealing than an M3 while offering tons of luxury and comfort along with that powerhouse of an engine.

The mega Fob as I call it is actually a package - it allows you to control the car from the outside - literally.

The front is a touch display and handles everything from remote start to locks and climate control - as well as being able to park the car while being outside of the car (it will even move around objects while you are moving it lol). You have to walk beside the car as you use this.

That is exactly the reason why I got it NA6...I am also a family man and for the extra 30K for an M5 - I felt the practical Executive and family components along with the performance. On that note - I came out of the E63S and this car feels like 90% of that.

Power does fall off in the top end in comfort - but in S+ with traction control off - it is fairly stout. It truly is luxury and performance.

I hear you. I dropped about $6k on my F31 to have it prepped after delivery, even though it's a lease. Wouldn't do it any other way.

Car looks great! Congratulations!
Do you mind sharing details on your lease deal? MSRP of the car, money down and monthly payment?

I did wrk despite trading my E63S 8 months early - I was below msrp for sure (I saved about 4+ % beyond the money I saved from my lease payments (they were fairly large) - plus a loaner for over a month while I waited.

What was beyond the money was Mike's service - I called him around the clock - and he was always there...

Is there a priority 1 option to ever paint the lower valance blue? Why must a bumper be two colors?

Also- can you remove the spoiler?
