That's sweet! I had an 06 5 series and loved it, but got rid of it for the CLK just cuz it was too roomey for me. All the homies designated me as the all time driver with that whip.

Does that mean I can finally have that B shifter? LMAO

lol, I'm not selling the coupe!


but jordan, I wish I can buy a 09, but 09s come in october/november. and I already can't wait. and for an 09, I will have to pay MSRP for it.


We WERE looking for an M3, but the one that they had in stock, and would sell was asking for 67k. thats 10k more. and of course, I needed AWD.
