I couldn't wait for the NEW Z and had to buy a new car.

The Z was just staring to give problems left and right engine trans issues and I just didn't want to pour a bunch of money I was never getting back.

With the good market on used cars I was able to get 16k for it and was quoted 1k off msrp on the new car with no added B.S.

I really wanted to replace it with a Supra premium but locally all wanted min of 3k above msrp. Hell No!! and the used was at msrp

I went with my 3rd choice a 2022 BMW 430.

I hope you guys can forgive me for leaving the 370Z fam.

I've meet incredible people and it's been a pleasure looking after things even though I have had my limitations (Admin Permission)

I've constantly owned a Z, 74, 70, 90 ,09 for more than 35yrs so change was due.

I still have the 70' 240Z to wrench on.

Anyway I'll still be here online looking after things albeit not as often as well as the BMW forums learning about the new ride.

Here's a quick pic I took while shopping the other day.

The color is Brooklyn Grey and hope you guys like it although it has the controversial beaver teeth grill

I like it.

Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy this Sunday Morning!

Don't blame you with the way the used car market is. Cars will come and go. Enjoy the new ride and don't look back!

Left for Denver Friday morning. Pulled into my brother in-law driveway last night around 8pm. 1,400 miles in the Power Wagon. It's packed full. The trip was uninventful. Seen a lot of wind damage in Kansas from last week.

Good Monday Morning All. 60* for a high today with 0% chance of rain.

No racing yesterday but my Cowboys did win.

Getting ready to head to the gym. So hope you all have a Great Monday. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Washing Those Hands.

PS: Just 5 Days Until Christmas!!

Congrats on the new ride

Which forum(s)? I'm on a couple but the only one I'm really active on is bimmerforums. I picked up a 98 M3 4dr 5spd from a buddy a while back.

Not quite back in my hands just yet but close. MA Motorsports has it back in their shop for some minor tweaks and some additional testing/inspection before they release it back to me. They are also going to detail it for me and Brian might do a Youtube video if he has time. Should get it back soon tho.

Dyno results:
Red 93 Octane 16psi
Blue E85 20 psi 4th gear
Green E85 22psi 5th gear
