My turbo has a new friend

Picked up my new DD yesterday. Love the thick M steering wheel, wish Porsche offered something similar. So far love the M-DCT, really smooth shifts in auto mode and the paddle shifts are cool, can't wait till the 1200 mile break in period is completed.

Great choice in color, not that I'm biased myself

Although as a DD I would have probably gone with the M3 sedan myself, but definitely a nice pair of rides right there.
