Hi. I have the 2014 5-speed version; same color with black wheels. Basic config. with hood/trunk stripes down the middle. Have problem with hood release; cable connection is weak and broke... mucho $ to fix; next time I take it in. These are a bit noisy on the road. Very few mechanical problems. Still very fun to drive, but i am getting ready to get rid of it.

Dantastic, I know exactly what you mean about "wearing the car". My 2013 R58 -- red on black, manual, stripes (and yes, IMHO, go stripes) -- is absolutely my favorite car I've owned. More than my MGB. A BMW 325i. A Lexus coupe.
Motor on. :thumbsup: |

Check outmotoring or maybe WMW for stripes, you need them! Lol. Congrats on the car, it looks sharp. The main issues to watch for are also mostly covered by warranty extensions: footwell module, turbo, HPFP, among them. So you are well within coverage on those. No worries there. Enjoy and drive the heck out of it and it will make you love it! Mostly just stay on top of oil changes, forget what the dealer recommended interval is and change it every 5k like clockwork! Always use a good synthetic and only use premium fuel. And personalize it to your taste once you get to know it a little bit. |

I have 53K happy miles from new and serviced from the dealer. No problem and just regular maintenance. My best advice is to keep very close records of service and abide by what need to be done. |
