Default Bye-Bye BMW!

Greetings! Just bought a 2018 GT and all I can say is WOW! Why didn't I do this sooner?? Great ride, beautiful looks, fits like a glove, sounds amazing, lots of power, can't stop smiling when I drive it. Looking forward to some minor tuning. Yeah, 460HP just ain't enough.....

My first Mustang was a 2007 Shelby after I gave up BMWs after over 20 years of owning and racing them. I've never looked back. The new Ford Mustangs are terrific cars. Congratulations.

Greetings and congrats on your new 2018 Mustang. It's not the Roush's 2018 750HP Mustang, isn't it? Just kidding. Congrats and welcome.

Default And the note

Wife found and had wanted s hard top vert that she really liked and test drove twice and liked the 4 cyl turbo and it’s perfirmance and true high mpg’s. She also loved the car itself snd actually still prefers to drive the BMW.

Put the note for reasonably/lightly appointed BMW 17’ 430i, the loaded 18’ mustang premium with no performance package, safety, 19 mags 10 speed and spare tire, and an even more loaded GT perf pack with magneride and shaker with everything her black one had except spare tire and let it sit there fir two weeks while she talked BMR, BMR, BMR.

the BMW 140+ higher , performance 90 more, I won and she is well trained now after 30 years of marriage

401a premium vert is a loaded car and I really dig that safety package that seriously works, it’s performance with 3.15 and 10
speed on sport mode is sick

Wow, kids. Nothing like online racing. You know, I got 15.9 mpg on my first tankful in my 2016 GT?

We have our first BMW - my wife was looking for a new car, and although she loved her Lincoln she didn't like the new front end. Almost bought her car off lease, and then she wanted to look. Ended up she fell in love with a CPO off lease BMW 328i X-drive.

Yesterday she went for an oil change - thankfully that is covered under her 100,000 mile service program. It still cost me $800 - had to update her maps and replace the run-flat tires on the rear.

On the Lincoln a map update was easy. Buy a new chip to plug in, swap them, done. On the BMW, have to marvel at the German engineering. Had to plug in to the computer at the dealership for an hour and half to update the maps.

But the car does handle very well. I can see why they call themselves the ultimate driving machine.

Thanks for the welcome! Two very different cars the BMW and GT. But I gotta say I can't stop smiling every time I drive this GT! Looking forward to years of enjoyment and mods.
