Just a quick update ... I put in an offer, and managed to work out a deal on Vehicle #1.
But right before I was about to provide a deposit, I asked to get an updated copy of the CarProof document. The updated copy says "Previous Use: Fleet" (for a 3 months period). I can't get any more details other than the fact that this could have been purchased as part of a corporate fleet of cars, or it could have been used for rental purposes. Does anyone care to comment on A) what is the most likely reason for this indication, and B) will it affect the value of the vehicle? And if so, by a little, or a lot? I'm just worried that when I go to resell, the next owner will have questions and it may scare them off. |

Just a follow up my own post ...
It looks to be that the CarProof information is a bit erroneous. Not only was there no fleet usage (I saw a full printout from UCDA), but the ownership dates they had in the file were wrong. Makes me wonder how accurate the rest of their data is. Anyways, deal is done! Thanks for all the help everyone who chimed in and/or PM'd me. |

dude, no brainer...
Car 1. Especially if you're not keeping it over 4-years. -pure metal silver, good luck seeing one in person, let alone owning one -CCB, a rare option

Sorry if I wasn't clear in one of my previous posts, but I have already purchased Vehicle #1.
I agree as some posters have pointed out that the colour is rare (and one I have been looking to see in person myself), and the addition of CCB, B&O and full individual leather makes this a special car. I managed to get the CPO warranty as well, so I don't have to worry about anything for the next few years. These are not cheap machines to fix out of warranty. I am hoping to pickup the car this weekend. |

I picked up the vehicle on Saturday. Everything was fairly straightforward at the dealership. I got the windows done with a 40% tint, but am thinking that 35% would have been closer to what I was looking for though.
On the way home, however, I was actually a little bit disappointed in the performance. I was thinking "I don't remember the car being this slow". I actually was started to regret my purchase. That was until I noticed that I had accidentally turned off MDM mode! With full TC on, the car simply can't get any power to the ground as it keeps getting interrupted. Once I turned on MDM, it was exactly how I remembered the test drive! I love the power (and how it is delivered), along with the copious amounts of luxury. It truly is a massive step up over my M4 (at least for my purposes). I've got some quickie iPhone shots below, but have since added a rear diffuser already. I'll do a full paint correction and cQuartz application in the spring and will do a more complete set of photos then. Thanks everyone for helping me make this decision.

Like most Individual colours, it really does need to be seen in person to be appreciated.
Do I think it is worthy of the $10K price tag? Not really. But then again, I have yet to detail the car and see it in the sun. So I may change my opinion in a couple of months when the weather warms up. |
