Sick GT-R (JDM) at Cars and Coffee today

Plate isn't real, I changed it to not post that guy's info.

Also neither he nor anybody else has commented on my Fujiwara Tofu Shop hat yet.

Just got a fantastic deal on BMW VSC Platinum Warranty

I got an amazing price from Cody Bowman over at Galleria. I found him through bimmerpost and reddit cross searches. BMW VSC Platinum 7yr/75k $250 deductible for $2,840. I believe this to be within $200 of dealer cost.

I am very happy I have this and plan on running the car for 6.5 years or 70k and then selling.

Now I see all the arguments saying to wait until just before your factory warranty expires, with the counter being price increase and inflation vs investing that money.

Again I am happy I did this and recommend Cody to anyone like me. But, I am curious of anyone who recently bought an extended warranty on an M2 near expiration of their factory warranty and what they paid for it. I imagine price going up with your milage etc...

Edit: Mine has 1,020 miles at time of VSC purchase.

Swapped in a BFI weighted knob.

Took a minute to get comfortable in the hand, but now I think I definitely prefer it. The added weight makes for solid shifts .

G87 M2 6MT fluid change at break-in?

Any of you guys opt to change the Transmission fluid on your 6MT at the break-in even though it isn't recommended by BMW?

My top two sandwhiches of the year.

My top two sandwiches of the year were the lengua ruben from La Jefa Philly and the pastrami banh mi from Gold Banh Long Beach.

Both were insane, the lengua reuben had an unbelievable beef flavor and the bread was perfect, I'm a sucker for coleslaw in a sandwich, seriously a 10 out of 10.

The pastrami banh mi for Gold Banh was a dream, They truly do the pastrami at a level above many famous delis, combined with perfect banh mi ingredients and bread and wonderful selections of spicy options to load on, also a 10 out of 10.

By the way the #19 at Langer's is still the best sandwich in the world. Its bread is unmatched. I eat reubens and pastrami across the country, Chicago, NY, LA, Philly, Boston and lots of smaller cities and towns.

Worth any change while at port? M2

My new M2 is in final assembly. I've looked at a few of the items available to be done while the car is at the port, HAS being the most tempting, and maybe sound improvement and lastly wheels. I'm leaning towards just driving the car as is probably until the warranty is up before making changes but I'm curious to hear some other options on if I should take advantage of this moment for changes.

Also, I've ordered mats (coco), a trunk liner and a ne shift knob (BFI). What else might I want on hand when the car arrives?

Thanks community!

All the cars I've owned

All the cars I've owned so far as a 50 year old man child. I had to grab a bunch of the images off of the internet but models and colors are correct.
