I've gotten into it a little but still havent floored it... I'm waiting for 1,200 miles which is killing me. It's at 400 right now... =/ Patience is a virtue.

Congrats on the purchase! you will love this car. I do!
I especially love the grunt from the car when you first start it, and right at the end, the V8 makes a loud and deep growl - grrmmpph.
Enjoy!

Thanks man! I notice that you have the Anthracite Headliner. Since mine didn't come that way from the factory, I won't mess with it, but was that an option in 08? I know that newer M Sports come that way. My friend's dad has an 03 540iT M Sport (which I hear is quite rare) that has the anthracite headliner and I've always loved the way it felt to be in a completely black interior.

Thanks for the quick reply! I apologize I only have two pics that were taken at the dealer yesterday but I have an appointment for window tinting tomorrow at 10am and then I'll take pics after.
Another question: has anyone considered the following accessories: M Rear Deck Spoiler (the one that sits on the trunk, not lifted up), M door sills, M foot rest, and aluminum pedals? Considering all of them but that's as far as I would go. I like subtlety. More pics coming tomorrow!

Not to be rude, but that rear deck / spoiler looks bleh..
I would rather go with the M5 deck if I were to install a spoiler.
Grats on your purchase OP.
