    Thank you for that thorough break down. We do have the HK stereo so that will be missed and the iDrive is vastly superior to the touch screen on the Prime (imho). Like you said I think memory seats will be a small issue too. The diesel torque is nice but now with more stop and go rather than all Interstate driving we might have a higher chance at running into problems with the particulate filter. We have 38,000 miles now and had planned to trade it off at 50,000 miles likely due to too many horror stories about BMW repair outside of warranty.

    I'm super torn right now ... sometimes no action is maybe the best action.

    Here's the return trip that same day, to give a complete record of the commute.

    Yeah I've always found inertia a good tactic, in turbulent times.

    For 8k, keep the BMW since the miles are so low.

    Opps, so much for the red light at 31 seconds. ;) I slowed it down to 1/4 speed and it's a nice view for those of us still waiting for delivery. Good video. Thanks.

    Many have shipped vehicles (eg; PiPs) from out of state, so that solves one problem

    How much do you think it would cost to ship a car halfway across the country?

    I am thinking it is $1000 range but I am out of date. Many here can help with cost est. Very common we did it once for a relocation.

    @DianneWhitmire should be able to give an estimate. I believe she has done this before.
