WAKE UP!!!! Mine is not a dream - it's true
Same here. Must be that the ones built for the TX forum contingent are just better built. Oh yeah, the the '07 M6 white vert is in the works too.

I've had mine since Christmas eve '04 with Zero problems and over 10,000 miles! Theres is no car mass produced today that doesn't have any problems. This forum tends to overdramatize the minor "fixable" issues, and not the overwhelming success of the car. It gets old sometimes! But everyonce in a while good information still is available.

Yeah, I know what you mean. But as I said, I'm still buying the car,
knowing that I MIGHT have problems. I'm willing to sacrifice a few trips
to the service department (if necessary) to get such a powerful, high
performance car for the price.

Be careful and remember what they say....you might just get what you wish for....er...dream of

Re: improvements to the Bose sound system....most often I leave the stereo off and listen to my engine/car anyway. The existing Bose system suits my needs just fine.

(Oh come on! Have a sense of humor!)

I get my car sometime next week. I sure hope they worked all these
problems out on the 2007's!

People like you make my day, Thank You for the humor

I love humor... I feel I keep getting sucked into reading threads I would otherwise overlook. The cutesy threads are starting to turn me off to this forum.
