After lusting over the E53 4.8is for a few years, I finally got my very own in LeMans Blue with Black Interior. Had her transported in a covered 2 car trailer and took delivery this past Saturday. I had leased a Toledo Blue 2006 4.4i back in Mar '06 for 2 years, which I just returned 2 weeks ago. I wanted to buy out the 4.4i because it had served me well, and with only 17K miles and being fully loaded, it made sense. But I decided against buying it at the last minute, and started looking for a 2006 4.8is. I found this beauty in Naples, FL and called the dealer. This is a single owner, Florida vehicle. We settled on $46.5K. She's fully loaded except for Heated Steering Wheel. Has NAV, Sliding Load Floor and Comfort Seats. LMB with Black Interior, 23K miles. Non CPO, with 2 years remaining on Factory Warranty. A friend of mine ran a service history report and it checked out fine. Two oil changes have been done and Rotors/Pads installed @ 18K miles. Not a single scratch on her. Wheels have no curb rash at all, but I'll probably need tires very soon. My M3 now has a new stable mate

Cheers
