Nice! Enjoy it!
I’m guessing TLX experience wasn’t 5 stars, or you just change cars a lot?

The TLX was a great vehicle. I had always been interested in 3 series. Had driven friends M2 Comp and another's Supra with same drivetrain. Financially was in good spot with DP to make it worthwhile.

Best part is MPG! Filled up then hit Rt 23 from NW Ohio back to Central Ohio. Solid 38 mpg. Touched 39 for awhile, all at 75 mph.

Last two tanks have been 32 overall.

Quite an upgrade, the new B58 powertrain is insane.

Well done!

Congrats! Love the color. This would be a car I'd settle for an auto transmission.

Any other packages?

Coworker traded in his E60 535i for one of these a couple years ago. Haven't heard him complain about it.

The almighty B58!! This is on my short list of potential next cars. The only thing I'm worried about is interior room for the family. It might be too small.

Heads up, M Sport brakes brakes & rear diff. Harmon Kardon sound system. Usual lane keep assit. Parking assist. 18 inch wheels, which I'm good with due to time I spend on road. About 25-30k a year. Already on 3rd tank of gas and pulling 32 mpg overall. Transmission is well sorted out for automatic.

Already broken in. Bought CPO with 14k on clock.

Is noticeably smaller than 2020 TLX. Good 6 inches or more in length. Have not compared dimensions between two vehicles.
