Just when I thought I found one.

Saw a R56 S at the gas station this morning and just had to ask the owner about any problems he may have experienced. (My own is being replaced by BMW when a ship will come.)

Friendly fella. Said no problems at all, loved the car great performance etc.

Then he sat in the car, closed the door, started the engine and gave me a wave while engaging in gear and driving slowly away... accompanied by the most awful engine squeaking noise that silenced all conversations in three gas pump aisles.
