The sucky part is that I have to wait for the diesel buyback process to wrap up. The 2017 aarrs are going to remain a hot seller so I purchased mine early. 3/31 is the final court wrap up and the dealers think that the transfers will happen shortly after that. I got a few pics from my :dill: er lady. It's like a premature baby, I can go visit it at the incubator whenever I want. :disappoint:

It's going to be a long month or more. I have little side projects for the car and it's nice to be able to take my time and research a little.

1.) Front license plate mount

2.) Stone chip protection for the whole front end. I want to cover the front bumper, hood fenders and headlights if possible

Not bad, I need to find out if this impedes the parking sensors that I was forced to purchase. Also, seems pricey

Check out CravenSpeed and their platypus mount.

I actually have 2 of these for my R56, I had one from my R53 and the diller gave me the one that was on the car from the previous owner.

Do you even really need a front plate? I haven't run one in years, it's never been an issue for me in WA and CA.

My C6 doesn't have one, I'd get a $100 fine if a LEO noticed and enforced it doe. I'm probably going to mount one on this car.

Cheap and versatile.
I might just get this, it looks like I can put the bracket in multiple holes on the plate.

Also, not mad about the :unicorn: , not sure why they waited unless the other dealer had a sold on it and didn't realize when they took the call. I'll never know but it's gone. To take 30% off of the additional option charge tells me that I'm likely getting it for dealer cost. Compromise is good. There are plenty of dealers that wouldn't bother discussing discounts on the GoRf and I'm well into $1800 off of the car and 500 off of the winter tire package plus another $700 off of the extended warranty. There's no room for :eeyore: to creep into this day.
:dat:

Do your best :carlton: and enjoy the day, breh.

Almost forgot to tell those hacks not to mount the front plate. Whew! Saved myself some nasty holes.

For those who can afford the next better thing and don't need four doors, this seems like three right move @maxtdi

I really like the M2 A LOT. Just saw one yesterday... but..

Rare as F. And I'd have to buy vs lease. :nope:

I can assume a lease on an M3 that is pretty much just as good for 30%+ less and gain 100% more doors. That's the route I am going.

Like the M2 should be the cheapest M to own, but it isn't
M3<M4<<M2<<<<<M5

Such is life.

Buy wheels that would fit an M3 and put them on your Faux-M.

Sounds killer. I'd still go with a gorf for its lower price tag, versatility and AWD because of my life and where I live but if I were single and in Commifornia and could land one then the M3 sounds amazeballs!

Five foot tall blond chick, average looks, glasses and wavy long hair. What can I tell you except that she has a serious but friendly demeanor, takes her job seriously but not totally seriously. I first did business with her when my wife went to the dealership to test drive a T-reg and she and her manager dropped the price by 10k to get us to commit.

I'd fuck with an M4.
Or maybe even a Desert-spec 435i/440i in a poverty color. :whocares: if it doesn't drive fantastic. It looks the part. Can always change the ramz to fit real size tires.

435's depreciate like crazy too.
