Picked her up yesterday, couldn’t be happier.
Even briefly in hilly Sydney traffic it’s been a joy to drive. Perfect amount of power for me and the exhaust note is wonderful. It has new shocks and factory M springs. The ride is firm but rock solid.
The interior is classic 2000s German depression grey. I wasn’t ecstatic about it initially but in person it’s actually quite beautiful. The leather is immaculate. I may swap the trim with aluminum in the future and buy a leather ZHP shifter, but I like this too and it’s not a priority. The nav screen has a few clouds of lost pixels so it’ll need a new LCD eventually. It had a TV which stopped working after the switch from analogue to digital. That’s another thing I really want to restore.
The only urgent thing I need to do right now is replace the window regulators. The driver’s side window doesn’t seal when you shut the door and sometimes stops a bit lower and leaves a gap. I’m not looking forward to that.
The real fun starts on Monday when we get out of the city and into 1500km of empty country roads back home.

To make the TV thing work again is a digital to analog converter. Here is an article that discusses this and makes some hardware suggestions:

Awesome. Where’s home? And is that a coupe or a conv with a hard top thing? I’ve seen the latter around and I’d love to know more

Home is Gold Coast. It’s a coupe, that was a strict condition. I don’t like convertibles. This one doesn’t even have a sunroof, which is fantastic.
