I am in the Club

I picked up my MCS yesterday and I have been having a blast.

Specs:
MCS DS/White
6-SP
Web spoke
Convenience
Premium
Audio
Nav
Anthracite
Rear fog
Ipod
Clear Markers
LSD

I am more impressed now that I own in than when I test drove it. I will get in trouble with this machine....

Now it is time to tint the windows and consider the JCW Stage 1 package.

Here are some pics. The car came with 2 mi on the Odometer and I already have close to 200 on the car.

Now off to more driving..

Very nice!!! I was this close (holds thumb and forefinger an inch apart) to ordering a DS/W MCS, but the Chili Red won me over! Looks awesome though!

Love the leather interior! Can I ask what may be a REALLY stupid question. What are the little controls behind the shift lever?

Thanks for putting up with my dumb question and congrats on a realyl nice car!

Thanks guys/gals.... It is a cult.

Rock: the checkered dash (standard) looks great. I actually like it more now than the brushed Aluminum I was considering

Adam: The controls are the Joystick for the Nav and the home button (left) and page button (right) again for the nav. This is equivalent to BMW's Idrive round thingy. I am still learning the different menus etc... but it will soon become second nature. Not the most intuitive or user friendly setup but it works. I am sure it has been discussed at nauseum over at BMW and here.

The car is fantastic. One thing it definitely needs is tinted windows (here in FL) and it could use a stronger A/C (again here in FL and may improve with the tints).

So far I love it and it is just a matter of time before I get in trouble in this thing.

As to the name, Not sure, it will either be "Tri" or "Aegis"

JJ
