Thanks everyone.
Driving this offers better feedback and communication than the F80 M3 Comp DCT that I "traded in". Clearly not as fast, but I think I will enjoy it more. Seats could offer more lateral support, but everything in life is a compromise, I suppopse.
Overall, I'm happy so far and I'll be a lot happier when I start to do some mods. Front lip spoiler required as well.
I have a 2 year warranty that covers most parts I would think, including head gasket and OEM turbo, pistons, etc... It would be best if I didn't need to rely on that, lol...
