Just took delivery of my '09 E92

BHairsto · 10-07-2008, 10:48 AM

People are probably growing tired of the "I got my car" threads, but I took delivery last night and all I can say is "wow." I won't bore anyone with pics, as there are already several MR/Bamboo postings. I can't imagine being happier with a purchase. The car feels noticeably more substantial, more communicative and better planted than my 335 (with PSS9 coilovers) did - all of this with better ride quality. Also, I have no complaints about the DCT tranny in my short time with it - it may be my imagination, but unlike the '08 that I test drove, I do not perceive any lag during upshifts (S3), and the tranny seems every bit as responsive as the DSG in our GTI, only smoother.

Grats! Mine is at the dealer, but I'm not going to be able to pick it up until Saturday - the wait is killing me! : )

It's well worth the wait. Saturday will be here before you know it!

Please post pics of the 6NF adapter, at least!

I'll try, but it will most likely be next week, by which time someone may beat me to it - I have a family emergency to deal with, and have to leave town tomorrow. If I have time to squeeze in a pic tonight, I'll do so.

Sorry to hear of your family emergency. By all means that is of much higher priority.
