as far as I know it doesn't have a carbon fiber drive-shaft anymore...
carbon fiber front fenders...
DCT vs pedestrian 8 speed
No Li-ion battery
No rear fixed calipers

Most of that stuff is and unnecessary. The sliders in the rear is the only thing that really bothers me but I haven't seen any reviews complain about the brakes so whatever.

F80's also don't have carbon fiber fenders and the DCT supposedly can't handle the torque of the S58. But with how bulletproof the ZF is, I'd probably rather have that than the DCT anyways.

No changes. It's still sitting at the port in new jersey. Truck is scheduled to pick it up on the 7th and diller should have it same day. I'll let them do PDI and I'm scheduled to pick it up this Saturday.

Dropping it off at the detailer the night of the 12th for cologard PPF, tint, and the color matched sidemarkers. Probably going to stick with 40% tint which was on my last GoRf. Should have the car back on the 15th.

Then I've got tire rack scheduled to do a mobile install at my house on the 16th to mount the DWS' on the Apex ramz and throw them on the car.

Tints on day 1. Start the lemon process on day 3?

I’m much excite for this to come in. I’ll live vicariously through you.

about the brake logos, I'm sure there are enough M logos on that nasty bitch.

Also, I wouldn't draw extra attention to sliders. I'm sure it'll stop great, sliders just look a bit more pedestrian to the three people in each state who notice/know the difference.

I mean, they're only $21. If it were something like 100 dollhairs then

It's not like I'm putting those caliper covers on that you see on most chargers and durangos.

Caliper covers are seriously felonious. Like, I know you have poverty sliders bro. Why didn't you not get that chick pregnant and now you're paying all that child support instead of being able to afford a car with fixed caliper brakes?.

I am still voting that dressing up sliders is a no go. But it's already too late.

Nah. I haven't ordered them yet. I'll see how it looks with the black calipers I got but here's what it looks like on red.

You assume they're actually paying the child support? Not a chance

Can we talk about the fact that too many ///M badges are tacky … like do they need to be placed on the brakes for any purpose other than upping the gaudiness
