Nice car Earl! Bet it feels weird to jump from the Roadster to this one. Does it have the electric parking brake?

Edit- now I see the lever.

Hated to sell the M, but after the 4th surgery on my right knee and realizing that ingress/egress was becoming "work", and I was looking at replacing the top in the next year or so and shocks sooner than that, had a decision to make....Do I put that amount of money in a car with 95000 miles and not be able to drive it a couple of years down the road, or go ahead and sell while it had value.  Had been looking at the M235i and knew exactly how I would order it, when I found this car at a BMW dealer in Atlanta.  2015 M235i Estoril Blue, 6 speed and USB/Bluetooth, no other options.  It had been ordered for European Delivery, driven around Europe and shipped back to the states, had 3800 miles.  The owner decided he wanted an M3 so he traded and ordered an M3 for European Delivery.  So I got the car as a CPO on top of the original warranty. 

 

Getting used to the fact there is no dipstick for oil, use a sensor via iDrive, jury is still out on that one.  Electric steering is not as bad as I had heard and it has an old timey emergency brake right where it is supposed to be!

 

The car is very comfortable and easy to get in and out of as well.
