Service history is a little odd. But otherwise very cool.

I'm tempted to offer $95k.
Nice spec. Certainly couldn't hurt to ask...

Also my guess is that the overall ownership costs over say 3-4 years might not be too different vs the 80kish used ones you were also considering since you'll get some extra warranty and maintenace icluded. (if you want help justifying the extra cost. . )

Be careful, I’d say there’s a very good chance they would take that

That was my thought.

I know, huh?

I need to talk to my wife first. I'm traveling again, so it would have to be Friday or later.

It is a bit of a coincidence that Passport BMW has it, since that is where I bought my first BMW - the 330i ZHP.

I just had a call with my wife and she didn't seem pleased about going that high, especially if we are seriously considering her mini.

So I appreciate the favor, but odds are too slim that we would pull the trigger on this one. But if you want to go do it for fun, by all means.
