Since I sold the G, I've been kind of left out of every group known to man. So I resorted to trolling forums that I didn't belong, hoping someone would take me in...

Now it's time for me to officially join lol!
Here it is with Premium, Deluxe, and Technology packages!

Very nice! Now it's my turn to put out the welcoming mat, LOL. Just out of curiosity, how much did you pay and how many miles are on it?

Also, it looks like you have the Sport bumper on the front, but I just wanted to make sure... ?

I got it with 30500 miles on it and paid 27900. It's the Aero kit that's installed.

Looks great! I really think the 20" OEM M56 wheels would set it off and complement the aero kit.

In Black Chrome of course.

Thank you! I'm going to try to fit my WedsSport wheels first though. They're 19" but they're lightweight and I doubt I would be able to get what I wanted for them on here. Too many people running Vossens; (no offense if there are any M owners that do) but a lot of people think bigger is better. I just hope the offset works out.

Deluxe package? Didn't know there was such an animal. Though the packages were Premium, Touring and Technology? Looks nice .... except for the banner it's sitting in front of :-) Welcome to the M world, you will love it. Very comfortable ride and just enough juice to still make your right foot happy at times.

Looks nice. The interior is beautiful. Time to change out those rims though- they don't match the aero package.

Nice ride! I like the blacked out grill ... I assume it's the OEM one since the perimeter is still chrome. Debating to do Plasti dip on mine. Welcome to the M family. What tires do you have?

Thank you!

Yes, everything is OEM (for now ). That's the midnight grill. Looking to get an OEM spoiler too. The tires are Michelin Primacy MXV4 or MXM4 (I can't remember which ones.)

I'll probably run them until they're done, then use the stock wheels for snow and get a summer set of wheels and tires.

I really really really wish the AWD had a different option for coilovers. Right now, it's only BC and they seem to make noise....ugh.

I could always bag it (but not slam it) I supposed but that seems to be $$$.

Great color! I too have a M37. I was not going to give up my G35. I don't know if i want to mod the M. The ride is super comfortable.

I really love the ride too but dat wheel gap!

But there's the converse of dealing with BC coilovers...

The reason I asked about the tires is I have the MXM4 and sometimes the car feels a bit "jumpy" when getting on the highway and up to speed. It will dart around a bit with road imperfections. You notice that?

Yeah, I'm not a fan of slammed cars but not a fan of the SUV look for sedans either so I look away :-) The car rides so nice I don't want to mess with the ride at all or the expense of swapping stuff out.

Do you mean tramlining? I haven't noticed that yet but I'm also not used to driving AWD either so I'm not sure if that's the AWD kicking in or what. I also have had summer/winter tire setups and not all-seasons. Steering inputs are very sensitive with this car and it handles great, even for a car this size. Getting rid of the body roll will make this car handle fantastic. That along with summer tires. Again, not sure if it's due to the tires or not.
