Awesome car! Congrats on the new ride!
Not to hijack but a 2008 mkII? Didn't mkII start in 2009? From the production date it also looks like its an early 2008 model.
Either way she's a beaut! I've got a 2008 (mkI) C2S myself.

Great options, especially the X51 package. So rewarding to buy a used one with this option and not pay $18k for it

I did not think it would last long. You got a nice build. They sell lots of new GT3 and GT3RS and get some nice used ones in on trades

Great build. Congrats and best of luck from another former BMW owner (picked mine up April '16). These cars are on a different plateau.

Great car but it is a 997.1 not a 997.2 with 9A1 motor and revised suspension. Still great car though.

Congrats I'm local to you in Md and just picked up a 997S myself. These cars are in a different league then the M cars. See you around town. Look for me in this car
