I cannot remember exactly. Regardless, I think the car is just beautiful in that color and in black window trim, that chrome trim is not matching anything. Anybody know how these sell at dealers? Are they in high demand and how is the used market?

Actually the e9x m3 was more like 112 mph on avg. The f8x is around 118 on avg.
The f8X is making about as much wheel hp as it is claimed to make crank. Dinan put it on an engine dyne and made 484 hp, consistent with 420 whp and 15% drivetrain loss.
