Jamie - I did drive the S60R. It is a very nice package. The highlights are definitely the suspension and the power. I really liked the 6 speed tranny as well - it is very precise with short throws. The steering was a bit light and the braking feel needs to be better, IMO. Overall a very nice car. It is not in the same league as an M5 though. In fact, I doubt there is a sedan out there that is (some people will say the E55 is, but BMW is just a better overall package).

Hi Bill,

Tuesday is almost over. Any word on the PPI? Inquiring mind needs to know.

Hi Pong - we got the PPI today and there are some minor issues. I will need to get the complete list with estimated repair costs tomorrow and then get together wth the seller to see where we are at. It looks promising though.

Bill,

This is good news. Hope the PO takes care of everything before you get the car. However, I also know local people here who are very good with M5s. If you need contacts, let me know.
