Wait...maybe I will buy another BMW

I am intrigued, I have to say, by the M3 ZCS. It will be interesting to see what the pricing difference is going to be.

I like what I've seen of Interlagos blue so far. I really dig the CSL wheels (if that's what's coming on the ZCS). Cross drilled rotors are no big deal one way or the other, but I like the idea of a stiffer suspension and "more direct" steering.

OTOH, when a CTS-V with the FG2 package is likely still $$$ less, the ZCS might not be justifiable.

Speaking of M3s, I ought to have you change my wheels this weekend.

I have to admit a slight twinge of buyer's remorse. I can only hope it is so unreasonably priced that I couldn't have justied paying the premium. Oh, and the "standard" moon roof is bunk.

19" wheels standard and moonroof only seal the deal for me.

I assume by the "'s that you mean that the moonroof is not standard. Is this the case?

No, more to add emphasis on the stupidity of it. Although I still suspect that it might be possible to order without it....seems crazy to force everyone to have a sunroof.

What size were those Fikse's again?

For autox they would be a major issue. It can't take much longer for 19" R-Comps to hit the market though.

Enjoy paying $325/ea for them...not that $240/ea for my 18" are pocket change. Still pissed that Mazda didn't offer 17" wheels.
