      Nope, It is 115+, never under 90. I have not driven it in a month. Every weekend I want to take it out at 5am to enjoy it but have had other important pre 1000 degree things to do. It has very good power & that is babying it as it is still in it's break in.

          You should try listing it on 'built for backroads" also because this car definitely checks that box. Its a free listing

            Thanks, I have it priced way under what is in it (my fault/problem/stupidity, I know)

            99.99999% of the responses are do you have an extra 0, is there 18k in the glove box & they go downhill from there. Seeing as I don't have to sell & really don't want to I'm not interested in coming down much.

            The "real M"s they refer to are tired & need full maintenance, really all it does not have that an M has is the dual ear diff mount. The trunk rivets are 100% perfect, it has a new 3.2 diff bushing & new poly mounts as well as almost 4k in KW V3's new everything so I don't see how you compare a tired car with a fully maintained car.

            Sadly, the bulk of the bile was on the r3v FB page :(

            My point (finally) is I don't want to start over getting hammered and don't mind not selling, the closer it gets to November when I can drive it, the less I want to sell it.

            lol

              Facebook is the problem, not the car or the ad.

              B4B are enthusiasts who understand what they are looking at.

              If you glance at what it would be listed next to you will see it fits right in and the asking price would not be out of line.

                This. I wrote an article about the founders/site a while back: https://bimmerlife.com/2022/10/03/bu...ck-of-needles/

                It will definitely reach the right audience listed on Built for Backroads.

                  Thats awesome! I randomly came across them and have zero affiliation but found them a pleasure to deal with and also found lots of temptations there

                    Awesome read! Thanks,

                    I'm taking care of my wife who just had her third after dual mastectomy procedure so it might take a bit but I'll probably post it there (problem is I really have not enjoyed it yet so I'm really not in a hurry )

                    I grew up at Mulholland and Beverly Glen, I wish I were there now; this car was made for Mulholland.
