Default Picked up today!

Here it is - about a week late. But, pretty much got what I wanted.

I'd have been happy with the basic 20" wheels

Clean!!

Sorry for lousy photo.

Wonderful drive home. Unsure about one issue, tho. When you let clutch in (or let out) it makes a big rattle in the engine compartment. Seems to do this when changing load (i.e., when pushing clutch in or out). At first, I thought it was license plate holder. But I tightened this down and that's not it. Now maybe a loose heat shield or something. I'm not sure if normal or not. I gotta check in on that.

you're in good company with the VW! I came so close to getting a GTi for my appliance but went with used 5 series for just a little more budget since I need a highway cruiser.

+1. I am going to do the same thing next year.

OP: From your pictures, your options are almost identical to mine except I plan on getting leather interior (Bordeux/Black).

Did you get PTV also? Is the exterior color black or midnight metallic blue? Hard for me to tell from the pics.
