I wish. Up here I'd have to get it signed off by a BMW dealership and they would not play ball lol.

Took a deposit on the car last night, sale pending. If it falls through (doubtful) I will let everyone know.

Congratulations on the pending sale. I has been great watching you build this cool car. Thanks for setting an example.

Not sure if you've seen this on the Car guys channel or not.

We went earlier this year in the fall, it was the perfect cool crisp evening for it. I ran 13.20s at about 108ish (cutting 2.0x sixty foots) babying the launch and not banging gears. The 560i has a LOT left in it, (it now has more compression and displacement with the overbore), but the 241 heads are choking it. Last year, with decked 317 heads, much bigger exhaust, and no cats, last year I ran 12.90s @ 114.6 at this same track.

The M5 ran somewhere around 13.50s at 107

New owner picked her up early Saturday morning after flying in from N.C.

Here is one last shot with me and car. Thanks for the ride, it was a blast!

Funny it's going from my old neck of the woods to my new neck of the woods. It might just be fate that I need to be the next owner? Maybe I'll see it around.

Congrats on the sale
