Turbos are a known known (cost).

Transmission….that’s seriously expensive.

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

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.

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
