Those V-12s are very cool. I hope he has the rare manual transmission. The SMG trans have a bad reputation.

I have a 2012 535I M-Sport. It is our travel car and is amazing. I special ordered it with all the bells and whistles. The heads-up display and active cruise control are very cool. And, it gets 29 MPG on the highway. The 535 diesels get in the 40s. We picked it up at the Welt in Munich. Great experience.

IMHO, BMW has sold their soul with the "M". My 535 is far from an M car yet there are "M"s all over it. Oh well.

We are selling my wife's Mini Cooper and getting her the new M2. I have two deposits at dealers and with any luck will get one in May or June. And, she wants a manual transmission. We'll do another European Delivery. The blue one is the new M2.
