I Got the Call! Part 2 with PICS
Well I must say I am very happy. The purchase process was easy and my CA gave me a nice tour of the car. I do have questions mostly about IDrive and streaming audio... will find that on another thread.
So.. My drive home. I live about 15 miles from the dealer and close to 5000 vertical feet higher. So there is a nice stretch of road that I use as a test... If nothing else it is a long climb that can test some cars as evidenced by the numbers broken down by the side of the road. Most trucks make the climb at 15mph or less. So what I look for is to simply stick the car on cruise control and and let it go. See if it starts hunting for gears etc... Well. The car was whisper quiet at 80 and never onced look to down shift going up. I even left it in normal mode just to see. I am very impressed with the ability of this car on the open road so far. Its early but i like what I see. Also love the 3D Nav which is way cool in the mountians...! Thanks for all the repsonses and support. Anyway on to the pics! |

Congrats! I'm jealous when mine comes in next month, I won't be able to find any place so scenic in Maryland to match your background

Crap! Thought I had talked myself out of Carbon Black because of the higher maintenance and swirling etc... (I am not one to wash and detail my cars - but at least now I'm using those touchless drive through washes) - BUT THAT LOOKS STUNNING!!!
Back to the color decision drawing board.... lol |
