yah... i was daydreaming about trading-in for a stormy blue mica... but, with this kind of depreciation, i'd be better off repainting the entire exterior and changing the interior hardware to color match... at the 6-year mark, my 323i was still worth $15K on KBB, and that was with nearly 60K miles on it... looks like the 8 would hit that in 3 years with only 3K miles... OUCH!

I still have yet to see a Stormy blue on the road... Definitely not worth it because you'd be out about $10,000 right off the bat. Besides, everyone knows that BLACK is the fastest!

lol... thats a good idea loren!

the drive home wasnt easy... but since he tuned it to go pig rich when it hits 5k rpm... i couldnt go into boost even if i wanted to (sssshhhhh, dont tell him, the turbo starts spooling around 3500) so i get the blow off valves at least
