Congrats and welcome.
Seeing you're not worthy of your own forum, we'll look the other way and accept you and your defective car over here.

Look forward to seeing pic's and hearing your real world impressions.

Thanks, that was indeed my philosophy.

Motor Werks. I've purchased two BMWs from them in the past, so I'm pretty comfortable working with them. And they had an early build date compared to the others I checked with.

Which dealer did you buy it from? Can't wait to see it when delivered. Sorry, did not read the last response.
I bought my MB from MW, also inquired there for the C2S. But they did not even bother to call me back. Maybe they didn't think I was serious. Jumping from a C350 to the C2S.

My sales guy is Al Stoll. Bought my current car (Z4 35is) from him, and for both that purchase and this one he has been real responsive and helpful. I recommend him highly.

Thanks, all. Pictures will come eventually (weather may be a factor).

As soon as the delivery date is close I will be getting a set.

One nice thing about a January delivery - winter tires and winter weather will make it easy to adhere to break-in limitations.

If it was me, it just means the traction control will kick in more often

Congrats.
