Picked it up yesterday and so far...its different!! Huge car!! It feels like its bigger than the x6...

Can't say i'm 100% in love with it yet the ride is awesome and power during break in is nice can't wait to really open it up and see what it can do. Right now I don't have much to say still rolling on dealer plates haha

Haven't paid for the car yet and keep sending the sales manager text messages saying "I don't think i'm gonna take it on tuesday"

I'm sure I will grow to love it as every time I drive it I like it more and more.

Don't even notice Active Sound was looking for a place to turn it up so I could hear what the engine is doing. Staying under 4500 rpm with the windows closed you can't really tell what the car is doing!

Uploaded a couple other pics but they were upside down lol

Will upload more after lunch and beers

What are the specific areas of disappointment? ride, handling, steering, comfort, fun?

Imagine it will be hard to overcome initial reservations at this price point-huge disappointment.

Mussafry · 05-20-2012, 02:47 PM

hey could you do some pics with the interior and exterior showing? I was going to order that combo before i decided to go with Sakhir. Just want to know what it looks like.

Whats about it do you not love?

WULFFZA · 05-20-2012, 08:56 PM

have you XE7 or 4CE?

DrewBert · 05-20-2012, 10:27 PM

4ce

Needsdecaf · 05-21-2012, 07:27 AM

AW / Silverstone would not be my first choice...not enough contrast.

Enjoy the car!

datbimmerdoe · 05-23-2012, 04:46 AM

sweet combo, congrats!

Park2670 · 05-23-2012, 10:22 AM

Hope you enjoy it!

JSCO · 05-23-2012, 08:54 PM

whatever you do follow your gut but you already know that...car looks beautiful...

DrewBert · 05-23-2012, 09:09 PM

Still haven't paid for it

1083kms haha

I can't give it back now! Although I did get another 3000 off sticker price

Car sure is growing on me!

Jason · 05-24-2012, 08:47 AM

Congrats!!

gcmr · 05-24-2012, 08:17 PM

I would not want to be a BMW dealer in Regina

IND-Distribution · 05-24-2012, 09:47 PM

What a beauty!

Just buy it already!

DrewBert · 05-24-2012, 10:16 PM

Well I pulled the trigger, got it for 110,215! Retail was 116,514!

Helps having a good friend managing the place!

Almost enough saving to buy the g power tune

DrKevM5 · 05-25-2012, 09:03 AM

We need more pics!!! I just ordered this combo!

DrewBert · 05-25-2012, 09:09 AM

The weather has not been overly nice here so I haven't been able to get out and take some pics... one day it was +26, last night -8 and snow lol

DrewBert · 05-25-2012, 04:39 PM

The exhaust "fart" when driving through an over pass sounds like a guy goes off!! So sexy!

Nate@IND · 05-25-2012, 05:05 PM

Congrats

Are you the one my friend tt_bear (Allan) bought his akro exhaust from a couple years ago for his m3? He has a Lambo now and is from Saskatchewan?
