That's the thing - I "just" have the S and I don't use the radio much the thing seriously sounds like a race car coming from the 235 - and when the windows are down, you end up driving around just to waste gas and hear the thing work.

There's something to be said for NA-goodness, numeric or straight-line performance be damned...

Definitely needs a small drop, they seem to sit quite high?
Totally understand the sticker shock - it is part of the reason I had 5 straight BMWs.

And you're right about the drop - that is my only regret on my particular car - it doesn't have PASM, which lowers the car 20mm and looks perfect IMO. I was so excited Tuesday when I took delivery that I didn't let the sales guy go over much with me - I plan to ask him about adding exhaust and what "drop" options are available.

Other than that, it pretty much works perfectly for me.
