Had way too much to dream the other night

And woke up considerably poorer for it.

Thanks, and I just simply haven't been able to get this silly assed grin off of my face since acquiring it, despite being car rich and cash poor.

Two previous owners, but it had only 1950 miles on it. First owner was a Army Colonel who did PCD in Greer, SC last December and had it for about 3 months, and the 63 year old gentlemen I bought it from only had it about 5 months and put maybe 600 miles on it himself. Guess he grew tired of it and was looking for a new toy.

It has all of the options I was looking for namely VO skin, heated seats, HK, Sat Rad and Hands-free BT and USB.

I paid more than sticker, but nothing like the ridiculous prices some of these owners are trying to get.

I've only put 900 miles on it myself, but already I can tell this may be the one. The one I can finally settle down with and never need to look for another fix.

Thanks, gents!

And no, Josh. I still have the 135i in my possession. A couple of nibbles, but no real hard yanks yet. It's like the former sports superstar that's been relegated to coming out of the bullpen for only mopup duty, so I'll have to move it within the next couple of month.

Don't have too many decent pictures of it, because I'm too busy enjoying it, but until time permits here's another.

Excellent! Congrats!!

FINALLY, I'm not the only one on this board with one!

If you love it half as much as I love mine, you're going to be very very happy!

Curious to hear your comparison/contrast v. the 135, once you've had her for awhile.

I really can't add much to your synopsis, as you hit it pretty much spot on in my opinion.

All I have to add is I definitely need to add the M School at the PCD to my bucket list, before I kick the same prematurely due to its leading to my early demise.
