Production Feb 5, SilverGray.? ? I am curious if I should have waited a month for a post week 9 car.? I have searched a little on the subject, is the only change the air vents??? I hope I didn't make a mistake pulling the trigger too early.

BTW, love the car!? Didn't like the design when introduced, didn't care for iDrive, one test drive and I was hooked.? Previously had a 540 Sport and this car is much more exciting to drive.

Great board,? I like the international participation.

Thanks!

Welcome to your countries great forum from across the Atlantic.
You may never do any work again - I don't.

Week 9 stuff also includes a hinged flimsy flap on the storage shelf below the lights on/off switch. Spot on with the exterior colour (I'm biased) what interior have you got?

Enjoy!

Welcome from Chicago. I just put my summer tires back on this week. It's nice to have the big, fat tires back!

I have Black Leather interior. I REALLY wanted sun shades but none were available and the 545 deals right now are incredible.........to hard to pass up. I would pay to retro if I could.

I suppose I should consider tint, although not a huge fan. Any advice on tinting? Experience with good installers in Chicago area or how to identify a good installer/materials?

Many thanks. Cheers.
