That's so shiny. Looks beautiful!

Will you be doing this? I reckon it's the one essential mod for US spec cars.

Until 1200 miles...

Don’t baby the car, don’t bully the car.

Don’t fully load the engine, don’t run it above 5,500 RPMS.

But do drive it.

SunTek PPF and tint done. The second pic was taken just after the car made a 2,000 mile trip on a transporter hauler. Happy she had a layer of protection during the voyage.

Are those the bi-color wheels or the black wheels. Looking to find good shots of the black (although they are not all black) 788 wheels.

That does not make sense at all.

So you owe $10K. You write a check for $20K and they give you $10K back.
Now you made $10K and have extra money to put into a new car?

Or you think you owe $20K but they told you it's only $10K.

I think that he might be talking about a "surprise feature". The Android operating system is known to include hidden animations that only hard core users find, they are called Easter eggs.

We all know what an easter egg is.
I think people are asking what's in that egg.
Based on the shape of it, it's probably an emergency triangle.

I think there are plenty of iPhone users that have no idea what an Easter egg is. I thought everyone would know that it is an emergency triangle 😁

Well, in the US, it is an "Easter egg" because it's hidden from plain sight and most in the US won't know what it is.

For us Yanks, in Europe this emergency triangle kit and orange vests are legally mandated to use if you stop on the side of the road urgently. Which is why if you do a European Delivery, you are given the vests and your car comes equipped with the triangle kit. In the US, you just have the indentation where the kit fits.

I did ED for my previous M3, and kept the kit for the M2C. The trunk is now complete.

Not liking appearance of exhaust but not willing to put $5k on new one which frankly has minimal increase in HP, decided to go with painting rear exhaust and putting in CF tips. Total?$$ $260... very pleased with results😉

If he owed 35k on the car, but they gave him 45k for the trade in, he effectively "made" 10k. So the dealership pays off his existing 35k loan on his old car and puts the extra 10k towards the new car. It's the opposite of being "upside down" in a car, which is you now owe more then what it's worth.

Not really technically making money but i count it as making money since i wasn't upside down
