Pretty big impulse buy (with a question)

That thing is a beauty. Congrats

I miss my ///M Roadster almost every day. I would just get scared when I had a Ford Expedition bearing down on me from behind.

Definetly an AWESOME CAR!

Congrats. I love that car. I wanted to get one but I felt to tight in it.

Not bad, not bad. You did get a good deal then. Congrats. Makes it that much more worth it...

It is a small car - even a regular sedan looks pretty big in the rearview mirror It's all perspective though - I think people tailgate me as much in the X5 as in the Z4 - so I just try to not get worked up over it and accept it as a fact of life, no matter how big of a grille they got

Very nice. Congrats

It's almost a car that makes you want to live in the country. All those winding roads.

Seems that there was - last night the SES light came on - everything runs great, so doubt it is anything serious. Not like it should be vomiting parts after reaching 300 miles doing break-in driving

Anyone ever have something pop up that soon on their cars?

Did the SES clear itself after you turned the car off and restarted it? If it cleared, you are probably fine. I had this happen one time with my X and it never happened again.

The only issue to watch is that the battery may be drained a little bit from sitting, this was the case with my 545.

I am hoping it is just the battery - but no - the light remains - tried letting it sit for a few hours last night, and then tried again this morning - it's still on. I need to go in to get the floormats anyways, so I figured they could atleast tell me what triggered it. If it is not serious, hopefully it can wait until the break-in inspection at 1200 miles.

Well it is actually a plus that it stayed on since you're going to the dealer anyway. They can read to code since the compute is still holding it. No worries.
