No modes on the Vantage. I got it on a lease that runs out next July. I'm eyeing the V12, but trying to be good. Also want to see what the new 6 series looks like

South Florida. I should update that on my profile. I still have a house near Tahoe but I don't spend much time there.
Not to threadjack here...The V12 looks good and sounds good...I still prefer the sound of the V8...and wasn't patient enough to wait for the V12, hence the supercharger. I ended up with a car that's faster than the V12 and it was probably a little cheaper, but no warranty. The tuning on the cars is very lean from the factory, so they respond well to modding...and to boost. I am making 534rwhp, or roughly 630-650 at the crank (vs 307rwhp stock) with only 7psi, and that dyno was done on a 100 degree summer day.
Back on the topic...I've heard a lot of complaints about numb steering in the new 5. Also about the muted exhaust. The 535i ranked third of 3 in the most recent comparo...not a good start. It sounds like they went Lexus-style on this one. Definitely drive it before you decide.
