Hello! As the lease to my amazing F90 comes to an end (April) I started looking around for the next daily driver. My options were:
- buy out the M5 - get the X7 Alpina - get year 1 of the new M5 Well, I kept coming back to the car whose looks stirred my soul ever since it came out - the M8 GC. Despite buying 5 BMWs from my Dallas Sewell dealership, they kept asking me to bend over. Autohaus in St. Louis had the perfect M8 GC build and Brad Mares gave me a very fair deal. He is getting the car wrapped and tinted. I need to find a window to fly up and do a nice 600 mile road trip home. I will miss my F90 but this will definitely soften the hurt.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What a beauty. Welcome to the 8 side of the house.
The F90 will just be a fond, but distant, memory before you reach I-44. Enjoy. |

I ended up buying something off the lot because of the deal I was able to drive, but you have the build I would have done for myself. Sweet car.

You could always do enclosed transport and avoid the hazards of 600 mi of winter driving. Your dealer should be able to hook you up.
I did that for a 300 mile delivery in November for about $600. The company I used only operates in the west otherwise I would recommend them to you. |

Might be worth considering if they can black out the hideous side reflectors you guys in the US are burdened with? |
