It's Here!

Well, I picked my new M235i Convertible today in a huge snow storm. We got to the dealer at 11:00 am and it started snowing at 11:30. We drove home on the Michelin Supersports and it was pretty slippery. I am originally from upstate NY and have tons of winter driving experience and some pretty good snow skills which came in handy today. I left a lot of room between me and the car ahead and needed it when braking for a traffic light or stop sign. As soon as I applied the brakes, the ABS kicked in and we just SLOWLY came to a stop. It felt like we were on sheet ice. Luckily my son was following me and gave me lots of room as well, so I didn't have to worry about somebody on my tail. Modern traction control truly is amazing and made getting underway a lot easier, but really slow as well. Just a little throttle and the yellow stability control light was apoplectic. Tons of fun. Not.



The good news for tall drivers is that I fit in the cockpit really well, even with the wind blocker in place. I adjust my seat all the way down and all the way back, then I tilt the seatback to get comfortable. I still have about an inch before the seat back touches the wind blocker. PERFECT.

I can actually stretch my left foot almost out straight under the pedals and I am 6'5". I am really happy as I bought this car to replace a very cramped 997.2 Cab. Here are a couple of quick pics and when I can I will get some shots of the interior for you. You can see I did already get the Mperf black kidney grills. I can't wait for spring!!!!!
