BMW added in $3500 lease cash and has the residual set artificially high at 60%! We fly out to pick up the new one on Saturday.

Congrats on the quick sale (always nice). I just sold one of my bimmers and it took FOREVER on CL.
Congrats also on the new vehicle acquisition. I was just at the dealer (parts dept and inspection) and poking around the showroom and took notice of the 40e. The wife and I really have our eyes on a diesel X5 to replace her X3... but the 40e could fit the bill as well. Not sure. I can't find any highway efficiency numbers for the 40e, do you have any insight? I know the "e" portion will benefit mostly in city driving. Her X3 (and my X5) gets ~18mpg and we are looking for something more efficient for her.
Nice garage flooring as well. Not sure how it would hold up at my place since I also do HEAVY maintenance (engine pulls/replacements sometimes) and mods every so often. But it sure does look nice. Our bare concrete is spider cracking like crazy and I'm hesitant to do the epoxy route just to have it continue to crack.
