I have to say part of my sudden spring into action is based on feeling more and more sure something bad is gonna happen to my 135 soon. Turbos or transmission issues? Who knows—I just hope it can hold out for 4-6 more months!

Transmission….that’s seriously expensive.

Worst case scenario, I take my kids’ cars for my own use

I’m really excited to treat myself. I have to say I didn’t think I would ever buy a brand new car again but we live in a different reality. And it’ll be exciting to order exactly to my specs. I’m really glad I like the blue so much.

I have seen a blue G42 M240 in person. It is nice… I have pics somewhere on my phone.

Eh. They don't break that often. Put a used transmission in. They're cheap.

Order is in. Now just need an allocation.
Portimau Blue over Black Leather w/blue stitching, black gloss, with most everything else. (No Illuminated M Trim ) Sales guy did say there's someone ahead of me waiting for a 240 xdrive allocation, so there's a chance they would be ahead of me if they would want an rwd instead
