^Yep, it's the new 428xi....

I drove this car down to FL at the end of September...Door to door delivery, baby! This is the 3rd car I got him so far. The miles don't matter to him, and he never goes over the miles anyway. Did the 1,275 mile run non-stop (only for gas and piss breaks) in 17 hours and 8 minutes, from Brooklyn, NY, to Miami, FL (exit 21 off I-95). The first pic was one of the piss breaks, and the second pic was just before delivering it, I like taking it to this place to hand wash the car, they are very thorough, and do great work. Nothing but the best for my customers! The name of the place is called Aventura's Finest Hand Wash, they are all over south Miami. I took back his lease return (also an X5, that I delivered him 3 years ago), and was planning to drive it back, but last second changed my mind, dropped it off to a dealer in FL, and flew back home.




Also saw this bad boy while I was waiting at the car wash:

I never thought I would ever sell one of these things....When delivering it, I was getting just about as much attention in it as I would while driving my Lotus!

Another "creampuff"...

I forgot the details, but it was a 2005 CLK500 I believe, and mileage was in the teens. Sold it before I can say "Mercedes Benz CLK 500"

Sadly, this car was totaled during Hurricane Sandy:




I don't know if there are any MMA fighting fans here, but the guy that owns this owns the clothing line, Future Legend (www.futurelegend.biz) - He's big in this...

I liked this car...



Customer wanted a wheel color change to white, though...




This car sounds awesome! It's a shame that although more powerful, isn't powerful enough for my tastes!

Awesome update!!

How picky?

I see you stopped at South of the Border...I'm sorry. Going from NY to FL, I can see needing to stop and anywhere will do. But, the ones that go there that aren't making a trip like that I'll never understand.

You know what, I've driven past it at least 20 times in my life and needed to see what all the fuss was about. Granted I was there at like 6am, so there wasn't a whole lot going on at that time of the morning. I needed some fuel and to pee, so it seemed like a good idea at the time...
