Bah I love this car and the fact that its coming with 6spd. is a dream. I need to make more $$ so I can keep the 911 and add this to the stable!

I have another meeting next thursday at my dealership with a guy from BMW Portugal to solve this. They take full responsability on their mistake, but they are trying to see if I accept the car as it is, or changing the parts. |

All I can figure is the B&O sound system and maybe the rumored ceramic brakes.
The dealers dont know either. BMW Canada prob does, good luck getting to the right person though ![]() |

What´s up with the fuel consumption?
European spec = 9.9L/100km Canadian spec = 11.1L/100km

I believe the B & O sound system and ceramic brakes are going to be available options on subsequent model years. If anyone has the chance and cash to get the ceramic brake option get it, I have it on another car and the stopping power is amazing ![]() |

These are the things that concern me. I would do ceramic over the B&O sound but I'd prefer both. Anyone hear the M5 sound system yet? is it really that bad? My M3 kicks ass. Cant see why the M5 would be worse, its 4 years newer. Thx Last edited by sparkyg; 03-07-2012 at 03:13 PM.. |

The tire swaps and winter driving I can't comment the car has never been driven in winter it is stored from mid November until April. I have driven it in colder temperatures -1 C or so and have not noticed any difference in brake performance I have done track days with it and have noticed excessive brake dust on calipers and rims more so than watching cars with standard brakes so possibly the pads wear faster or wear differently that I don't know. |

Re : maintenance of pccb ( ceramic brakes )
I was not told of any special upkeep nor have I read anything or done anything I am sure when it is time for the brake service it won't be cheap |
