Finally... I'm an owner

Picked up a wonderfully maintained 05 4.8is on Saturday. She only had 9k original miles on the clock so a treasure to say the least. The wife and I enjoyed a 500 mile trip back home stopping in Chicago to experience some deep dish on the way. Proof is in the pictures...

Wow - 9K miles in 5 years? I sold a 2005 Audi earlier this year with more than 10x that many miles!!

Looks sweet btw. I love Imola on those.

Thanks guys, yeah only 9k. Seemed too good to be true. I don't know if it was one of BigGar's or not, picked it up in WI and was orginally titled in IL according to the carfax. Only one owner though, and dealership said its a customer of theirs who's a local doctor. Googling name on title points to that gentleman being a Neurosurgeon, BigGar?

Thanks a lot CT. Good luck with the search, the only advise I would give is don't settle, if there is any doubt it's probably better to wait. The PERFECT one for you will come along. I searched religiously for about 2 months and finally found it.

Thanks Phil! Yeah the bike is pretty much amazing on two wheels, and in every sense a BMW. The power (193HP), the technology (ABS/Traction Control, an Electronic shifter for clutchless upshifts), they even packed in the adrenaline rush. BMW Motorrad finally introduced an M class motorcycle and took the industry by surprise. And up until now no one else put features like these on an affordable motorcycle, even the "exotics" weren't this precise in the execution. But then at the same time so nimble and forgiving to ride, powerful but controlable. I love this bike and will stop now or I'll go on for days.
