What a terrific choice!  Much better than that CPO 335i

No better 'fun' car value for that price.

Oh, and did I tell you how much I love the black on black look?   :drool:

Really looking forward to pics.  And hopefully see it in person later on.

Thanks for the link.  Damn governor..will have to do something about that then...  ;D

Don't do it. The driveshaft is a one piece as opposed to the two piece with centre bearing in the GT. The one piece shaft isn't balanced as well and may break at high speed. Nasty mess when it does.

Pretty damn nice Christmas gift! Congrats!
