Congrats. Before you know it you'll be hitting triple digits.

Now around 800 miles - starting to open it up a bit more as "break in" worries are lessening. The most impressive thing in my mind is, without any question, the dynamic handling package. Many have said it before - but it is the must have option. I was able to get into some canyon roads with 90 degree turns and steep undulations. In sport mode I hit the gas and was blown away on how this big, heavy Bimm handled the road conditions - damn near amazing!!!! Not quite as nimble as my 550i but, well, you get the idea. Road feel was great, vibration and road noise were no issue. No rattles, fit and finish continue to impress.

More later......

Absolutely. The Pirellis are made of chewing gum.
