Beautiful... Congrats!
I am not a fan of Black cars... but after seeing so many people in the forum getting Sapphire Black, it's winning me over now... ! Do you remember how many miles the car had on the counter when you picked it up ?

I currently drive a 2007 Saab 9-3 Aero and will be making the move to a F30 at some point (xDrive + diesel). I'd be interested to hear you thoughts on the transition from the Saab to the BMW.

I will miss the Saab some. I had done some work to it. Subframe brace, strut tower brace, uprated suspension bushings, shifter mount kit, slotted discs with carbon pads, and Stage 1 ECU tune - 265 bhp and 280 ft-lbs of torque (stock was 210 hp) . Though I have not even come close to pushing the bmw yet, I feel that my tuned Saab is going to be the quicker of the two. Saab could have been tuned to Stage 3 E-85 -60lb injectors, Sea-level Power: 327bhp and 391ft-lbs of torque. |

Why didn't you sell the wife's car instead? Are you still having payments on both Saabs? If i were you, I would have sold the wife's car and get her the BMW, and kept the more powerful Saab for later ??

Wife cant drive stick. No payments on either. I let the Saab go before its warranty is up and its value plummets even more. I got a good run out of it... and for what was paid, it easily lived up to what was expected from it.
