Congrats! It will be a nice DD so when you get a toy again it can sit in the garage and everyone will be happy

That M5 looks pretty bad @ss I would have traded with you:P

Yes, it's an '07 with the notorious jerky, hard shifting SMG. Always loved the E46 M3, if I didn't have a family it'd be my first choice of the ///M car. How long did it take you to get over the loss? LOL.

Contrary to popular belief, some BMW owners do swing both ways...lol. All joking aside, the two brands have different driver populations in mind, I'm just ready for a more luxurious and relaxed ride....for now.

Hey Mike, if I had known you sooner, we would've struck a deal! Mad props to your fine ride, very elegantly modded! Love those wheels if you're interested in selling!

Well said!! Driving home today in the Lex, couldn't help but feel at "peace" with my decision and I can just feel the tension and stress from the day melting away into my plush heated leather seat.....
