Default Hello from Switzerland

Hello everyone,
joining from Switzerland and a long-time car enthusiast. Currently driving two BMW's in the family (including a 2015 BMW 650 Grand Coupe and a 2015 535d Touring). Had a number of BMW's and Audi's over the years, mostly the top spec V8s.

I did a U.S. west coast trip in 2019, shorty before the pandemic, and rented a 2019 C7 Z51 in CMG on Turo. This was such a memorable and fun experience, I loved every second of it. We took the car trough the Los Angeles canyons, up to SF, Las Vegas, Route 66, San Diego and back to LA. I looked into getting a C7 shortly after, but Covid did it's thing and used prices were unreasonable.

Now a couple of years later, the C7 still is on my mind and I finally want to get one and enjoy in Switzerland. Currently looking into getting a 7MT GS Coupe sources which I want to import to Europe (just created a WTB thread). Hope to be soon the proud owner of my own C7.

I added a couple pictures of said trip and our current two car garage. Happy to meet y'all!

Nice C7 that you rented and two nice looking BMWs in your garage. Best of luck in your search for your own C7 and welcome to the forum.
