Thumbs up I finally got my GS400

With months of debate which started with the IS300 then GS300 then GS400 then BMW 330i (Was on order till got fed up with the cocky dealer) Now finally a 1998 GS400 Spectra/Nav/Hid with sebring exahaust. All I have to say is there is no trade off for raw horse power. I will post pics later tonight.

Good choice. If you don't mind, can you tell us how much you paid/mileage? A buddy of mine wants to get a 98 gs4. You can PM me if you wish to keep it on the DL.

thx.

Also I think there is way too much power in this car. This question probably hasn't been asked before but is there a way to reduce the power???
