    To answer the questions:
    I don't know why the price was good. The salesman (which happens to be the head sales guy there who we know really well) sent my dad the VIN of his car in production then proceeded to say...BTW I have this M235i that just came in yesterday.

    The 228i was at a 5% discount, and this one was substantially less. Factor that with a good trade in value for his 09 E92 328xi, and I think it all just worked out. This has like 4K more worth of options vs his built 228 but it doesn't reflect that in the price. Prior they had a M235i in the showroom stripped to the frame with no options and this one was like $10/mo. We're not questioning it though...lol

    I drove it yesterday. It only had 15 miles on it so I couldn't really push it yet...Plus the PSS tires don't like 40*F weather. The power though is completely different, I feel like my car pulls better in high gear at highway speeds, but I didn't do that much testing back to back to verify.
    - Interesting on the price. Glad it worked out.
    - As for the color, that was more an inside joke/color war between Jet Black vs. Black Sapphire.
    - Nice to at least get a little feel, let us know your impressions when you get to drive it more after it's broken in.

    Friends dad has this model too. It was pretty hard to keep up with it in the ZHP. The rear wheels are pretty fat and come with some awesome tires! Hope you get to drive it every now and then!!

    Yea, 30% lock but considering the car is a lease and there are no aftermarket diffs for it yet they kind of own the market.

    YMMV, for a DD the diff is very nice and quiet.
