Wife has two cars herself. Whatever she wanted so that wasn’t in play.

But funny you mentioned the dry cleaning. Ran into the same issue but thought it was my car seats that was blocking the hangers. Thank goodness the trunk is huge

I am sure I would find many interested buyers at my terms. It’s such a great deal that I want to pass it on to someone that is worthy. Sounds stupid but someone that is looking for m8 will get a great deal without the work. I did put a lot of work in to get the deal I got

We both went into the deal with eyes open that I'll be 90% solo in the car and hence the lack of rear seats wasn't an issue.

Truth be told I picked up our dry cleaning in the M850i and hit the first "WTF?" aspect of the ownership. The tiny hangers are on the pillar right behind the front seat and literally useless as you cannot hang anything on them. Ended up laying it on the back seat and commenting to the wife that dry cleaning collection is best suited in the X5.

Lastly as I visited my dealer a few days before the M850i landed so she could see the Fiona Red/Black interior of the failed build still on their lot I pointed out a fully loaded M5C. Noted to her that I could easily negotiate a better deal on it and save thousands in the process. Good news for you is the 36/10K residual on a M5C is 58% (vs 55% on the M8C) and $2500 loyalty. So in the end if you do end up passing the torch on the M8C to a lucky individual you should fare well payment wise and have a happy wife in the process.
