Congratulations! Exciting, eh? Looks great....

You get the NAV? It looks like you've got the roof (a bit hard to tell, though...)

It's as fun as my BMW 540i. It does have the moon roof. However I did not go for the navi. If I need directions I'll just buy a map! :D

Cool Shiny!......

Looks even shinier than when it was in the showroom!

I think those 'exhaust finisher' chrome thingies would really compliment the back of any Titanium!

Good choice and congrats, TiGuy!

Thanks doc! Congrats to you too. I love the metallic red. How are you liking the car? Have you "broken" it in yet?

Cool Update.....

No, not broken in yet, just cracked 1000kilometers.

Had an airport run today, so after I dropped them off, I stopped in Leduc to order the 'Alarm Shock Upgrade' thingy.....got a decent price - $48. The instructions on the forum made it seem simple to do, but I can screw anything up!

Your Ti looks awesome in the daylight, how are you liking it?
I can see the 'bimmer' in the background - how does it compare?

I am finding I have grown quite lazy in the years since my last manual tranny, I am not going down thru the gears as I stop, it's "6th to neutral", and I am now fond of a good fast run up to 4th gear, then right into 6 for 'cruise'! Sadly I will never get even close to this cars limits!

Speaking of limits.... I thought it was time for a brief burst of full throttle, and briefly saw 200kph on a private bit of the airport road! Smooth as a turbine!

I'm sitting at about 1300km. I haven't really pushed it hard yet. The bimmer feels alot heavier and has that head jarring torque. The 540i feels a little more solid. Ti grey was the colour I wanted from day one. I like it, at times it has a "bluish" tint to it. So you stopped by to meet our buddies at Leduc. Did Rick tell you the story about his nose? Did they give you any goodies? I was wondering if they threw in any goodies when you purchased the car. Also, what is the alarm shock sensor?

Thnaks dude! I am very happy the grey as well. The colour changes during different parts of the day.
