New M Coupe

Guys, I caved today and bought something. Got an offer too difficult to refuse.

Silver Gray, Imola Red, aluminum, Premium and Nav. Goes well with my E90.

One of the best things I have done to produce a "smoother" feel is to shift from 1st to 3rd when starting, because 1st to 2nd is pretty rough if not done properly. also continue to drive the car a while and I am told that it has a kind of adaptive transmission. I have been able to obtain much smoother shifts once I put my first 1200 miles on it... Oh and I love that imola interior....

Oh thanks. Thats going to be quite difficult though. This was the sales managers demo car, and my dad and I are splitting it since I have my 3 and he has another car as well. So any adaptations will be in the middle of our two driving styles

Employee lease and some extra money from BMW NA. They called it "special situation".
Yes, its the last 2007 left in my region. We heard about this deal and 3 employees bought M coupes. One day offer

Looks good. As far as shifting goes...The 1st-2nd gear change takes some getting used to. I found that after about 3000 miles it got smooth

How do you like the feel of the M Coupe compared to your E90? Always interesting to hear someone's first impressions...

Seriously? WTF, That is close to what I paid AFTER my trade in on a non-M!

I am going to go weep in the corner.

Definetly not something I would want to drive everyday. I love the torque my N54 has, and missed it with the S54. The M coupe is a blast to drive, but just not as comfy as the 3. But thats expected.
