    Just bought it. Enjoying the car immensely. Can't wait to get to 1200mi.

    I previously had a 2007 R56 Hardtop loved that car too until pistons smacked valves! Then I sold it. Posted my sob story on the other forum.

    Anyhow glad to be back. Wondering if I should get the JCW suspension! Comments welcome.

    Here is a pic:

    I'm partial to Coupes. Great looking R58.

    Very nice like the color. I'm thinking the coupes are a pretty rare car. I've seem few on the road. Other than Mark & Tom's.

    Welcome to M/A

    Had the JCW suspension installed. I highly recommend it. The car should have come this way from the factory.

    I also ditched the runflats for the Bridgestone RE11 and couldn't be happier.
