The add-on Sport functionality is better suited to PDK cars - doesn't offer much for manual transmission. Save your money for other mods.

You are a big inspiration for guys like me who are constantly looking for the next grail car. You have been searching non-stop for months...until you found the perfect super-low mileage, very well loaded 4S Cab...in manual !!! I will take your example, passion and perseverance for when I will be ready to buy my next car. Enjoy and Salute!!!

I am literally holding my breath until the sale is finalized and it's loaded on a truck to me. Since the deal is beginning to feel too good to be true. I put my deposit down before the CPO inspection process started, and the dealer has been excellent in their approach to certifying the car by replacing all tires, alignment, 40K major service (spark plugs, etc), battery (even though it had been replaced two years ago), and replacement of a scuffed doorsill for starters on the cosmetic nits.

Default DME

So things are continuing to gel on this acquisition. The CPO inspection was seemingly thorough and a lot was done, as I had hoped would be. 40K mile service, new skins, new battery... even new wiper blades and key batteries replaced. Didn't see anything about TPS batteries being changed, but I figure if they croak in the next two years the CPO may cover them?

Also got what appears to be a pretty stellar DME report - with no stage 2 occurrences and an avg speed of 40 MPH over the total miles driven (if I'm interpreting correctly)




Hopefully in the next day or two I'll wire funds to the dealer in Louisville and she'll officially be mine!

Full leather is the only option I wish I waited out for everything else seems an easy add

I slightly disagree. I have it on my M6 and you can feel the difference with it on and off. On, your throttle sensitivity increases and the car becomes more alive. It doesn't offer any extra hp, but with it on it definitely pushes you back in your seat. Only thing is it burns your clutch if you're not careful during launches from a complete stop. At least for me it does.
