Finally joined the club!

Hi Guys,
After getting an e39 540 in 2000, I've always yearned for an m5.
I finally pulled the trigger yesterday on a 2014:

Singapore Grey
Black Full Leather
Exec
LED
B&O
Drivers Assist Plus

The power is unbelievable!!!!!

It's a little startling to pay so much for a car, but I think I got a pretty decent deal on a lease through my company:

$112,995 MSRP
$3K down, $1070 a month before taxes.

It was the last 2014 on the lot. I'm looking forward to interacting with this group in the future, and hopefully finally making it out to track days and autocross events so I can learn to properly handle this beast!

Okay, I'll go outside in a little bit and take some crappy ones with my Iphone!
When I get home, I'll pull out a real camera.

I found my space gray much easier to maintain but my singapore gray looks sick when clean.

Nice ride, and welcome!

Thanks. I honestly think I could have done better with $200 less down and probably $10 less a month, but it was not worth the back and forth to try and see if it was possible. I know I conceded a few hundred bucks in the acquisition fee, and I almost want to ding them for that on the CSI score, but I will probably let it slide, along with a note to them explaining that I let it slide..
