Just picked it up over the weekend. 2013 'pre-owned', the previous owner decided after 700 miles that it was too small and traded it back in for an M6. I appreciate that he had the windows tinted and purchased the extended maintenance.

I know some of you guys are not fans, but good God this thing makes beautiful sounds.

Very nice. I like the wheels, especially. You are absolutely right about the sounds. It's quite a car.

The Comp. Package wheels for both the E46 and E9X are probably my favorite BMW wheels. I doubt I'll find myself on Tire Rack dreaming of BBS LM/CH/RGR/RS-GT, etc. ever again.

Mineral Green. Often looks like silver variants, depending on the light.
