the car itself is cheaper but you have to pay your own way to germany and pay for hotel, food, etc, all out of your own pocket. The plus is that you use the money you saved to pay for your vacation.

my break in procedure for the M Coupe. don't exceed 110mph for the first 1500 miles then don't go to max speed possible for extended period of time for the next 1000 miles.
the second is for the rear differential rather than the engine.
