That was a FANTASTIC deal! I have heard such stories, but this one is proof in the pudding! Well done Gary! Enjoy!

Fantastic watch - I love that last picture! Is that the light champagne dial? It looks like it to me!

I must ask - have you driven the F10 M5 yet? I am considering selling my E90 M3 for it when the F10 is available in the States. However, I'll need to see what the turbo'ed M is all about, and I'm also considering waiting for the E82 M3, or whatever they'll be calling the coupe M3, in another year and a half.

Thanks in advance, and big congrats on the great President!

Thanks for the kind words , your DD2 is an awesome piece also .

Yes it is the light champagne dial .

We have a demo F10 M5 from BMW in and have driven it , it is an awesome car , very understated to look at but what a powerful beast and what a sound it makes when you accelerate

You already have a great car in your M3 and you have a lovely dilema awaiting you when the M5 and new M3 are launched across the pond .
