Oh, is that what you were doing in Maryland?

Not. Today.

I was there today, too, but doing something different

Enjoy!

Yes, that was my trip to MD. Also for Bob's, but mostly for that.

This is the one that I posted upthread. Carmax offers a transfer service where you pay $X and they bring the car from wherever it is to your local store. It was in Atlanta, but they only wanted $150 to bring it here.

You don't get that money back, but OTOH it holds the car for you and there's no obligation to buy. So, WTF, right? For other cars I've seen it cost a lot more; not sure what goes into calculating that fee.

It's a 2016, 30K miles. No Competition package, but that seemed extra for what I want the car for (and I don't need more 20" wheels in my life).

Seems to be in nice shape. Was originally sold in Fairfax.

It's fun. Nice to have a BMW again. It feels like an E90 but bigger. As a family car it's about the perfect size.

Oh—not Imola. Sakhir Orange.

Sakhir is really nice looking. I looked over the pics from the ad link again and it seems optioned well, with everything you'd want and nothing you wouldn't. Post more of your thoughts on driving it after a while.

was there a temptation to take the blue gt500 next to it instead?

I'll call dibs on it now.
