Oh man. Sorry to hear that your build date has slipped again. My S has now been built and I am now waiting for firm shipping details but am expecting a February delivery date into Australia. Maybe mine will be the first IBM Turbo S on this thread . Will post pictures as soon as I get them.

Very nice pictures -
Curious, how's the power compared to your M5? I know the PDK is way better than that SMG but my M5 hauled ***. Just wondering how you think they compare..

The SMG tranny in the M5 was archaic in comparison to the PDK. Clunky & forget even trying to drive it in auto mode. I hated to have to press a button every time I started up the car to get 500HP. Maybe they changed that on later versions of the software; I hope so.
Still, the M5 is a fine car that anyone would be proud to own. It's just a completely different kind of ride than a P-car.
