I got there close to 6pm. Dropped off the wife's car for service on a few codes. Won't have her car back until Monday. Countryman S loaner until then. I enjoy the ride from the countryman. Smooth.

I liked what I saw from the 4 series when I first saw it. The more I look at pictures of it though...

The vent in front of the door... "Let's stick on some plastic here because it'll make it look faster". Wrong - it'll make it heavier, and more gaudy - like it's trying to be a two door Panamera. And the front bumper - something makes me think of the Genesis Coupe when I see it. I doubt that's what they were going for, but it's what I see. LOL

I think I agree with you, in pictures, but in real life...holy crap gorgeous.. They also had the M6 Gran Coupe there as well......come on BMW. Why couldn't they make the new 4 series coupe, the 3 series and not confuse people.

Hello and welcome to the group.


On a other note, just another friendly reminder for the ice bar outing at the Bedford Village Inn this Friday night. We are going close to 6:00. Should be a good time.

Rochester aka Beranger VW had a white JCW since last summer sitting on their lot that is why I was asking.

Oh just to let you all know I'm starting a new job at Kensington Autoworks as a service advisor starting February 11th. So I'm leaving Bavauto. So if want to order parts better do it now while I'm still there.

I am actually looking forward to being part of Minis on top this year. Hopefully it won't be the last one ever.

Plus does any go to the British Invasion up in Stowe in September? I know my wife and I will be going this year. We actually got married in Stowe in 2009 and it was the same weekend as British Invasion and since we will be living back in NH, we plan on going.

When I looked at it they wanted almost $18K for it. Thats what I paid for MY 09 MCS with 33K, free maintenance, and warranty.

PM me the last 7 of VIN so I can see if it's a factory JCW or dealer installed JCW for you. Usually there is a paperwork that states the JCW is authentic.

They have being saying "this is the last year for MOT" for several years now. And they still have the event.

British Invasion this past year had MINI as the featured marque.
