Although I was told that my car would be delivered this upcoming Saturday, I was ecstatic when I heard that it would actually be here today after speaking with BMW yesterday. Anyways, my car arrived to the dealership at around 1:30 PM and I promptly cut out of work and headed over with my wife. During financing, I opted for the Powertrain Plus warranty in the event that I'd like to keep the car beyond 4 years. The good news is that, should I sell my car in 4 years, I can either transfer the warranty or get a refund - sounds like a win/win in my book. I figured that this particular warranty should serve me very well and protect me in the event of a major mechanical failure. I can always pony out $$ for odds and ends (e.g., power window fails), but I won't be stuck with a blown engine, God forbid. Before purchasing this, I spoke with the Service Drive Manager to discuss how my Dinan tune may impact this warranty. A long story short, he stated that the odds of them/BMW rejecting the repair due to the Dinan tune (i.e., blaming Dinan) would be incredibly unlikely. In fact, in his years there, he has yet to see this ever happen. It's worth noting that I am VERY conservative and he made me feel quite comfortable in that I'd be protected in the 5th and 6th year should anything occur. Lastly, I opted for the windshield protection, but passed on everything else. Now to the fun part. I'll warn you that these are iPhone pictures! I have some car washing stuff coming this week, so I'll do a proper wash and take pictures with my good camera this weekend. I still need to schedule some time to install the M Performance Splitter and Passport 9500ci, but one thing at a time. I will dry run the HK system for a couple of weeks and then install my BAVSOUND Stage 1 speakers so that I can provide a somewhat credible review. The last thing to go on will be the Dinan Stage 1 tune after the car is broken-in. I'll post more impressions after I drive the car a bit more, but I can already tell that the 6MT is MONEY! Pictures

Congrats 3er! You have my twin down to the 6MT, silver rims, blk interior, carbon roof! I know you fretted about the price a bit, but I can tell you that an F80 with carbon roof and 6MT is super rare and you did totally fine on the price! It's awesome you've gotten the mods lined up already. Enjoy in good health

I was also happy to hear that they discounted the car by another $500. Not a lot, of course, but it shows good faith on them to do what they can to make customers happy. I'll walked away very happy.

Lol, she's more photogenic than me. quiksi mentioned that she's probably smiling so much because I'll finally shut up about the car (for a little while, at least).

Thanks, I'm really happy with both. I'm digging the contrast on the silver wheels, too.

My baby will get her first bath this weekend. I just got some detailing stuff in yesterday and today and am most excited about AMMO. If you have yet to hear of Larry Kosilla, do yourself a favor and check out his detailing videos on AMMONYC and /DRIVE CLEAN, as well as his detailing products.

Finally here!! That wait was brutal though lol. Looks so sick!! I really like the wheels you went with, not a lot of people go with them and I think they look awesome. And good looks going with the 6MT. I honestly wouldn't even want the f8x without the manual, it's that good. Post more pictures!
