This is how I spent my lunch today

So the Stinger saga officially came to an end this weekend. As most know, it wasn't the most in-love relationship with this car. I was in a position of some positive equity, and I figured I'm not getting any younger and my hair isn't getting any thicker, so I said screw it and picked up a little sports car. The pics are terrible, because I haven't gone out anywhere with it just yet. It's on 17" aftermarket wheels for the remainder of the winter. Liking it so far, but do miss a couple feature that didn't come on it (blind spot monitoring, HUD, in particular). Definitely more of a sports car than the Stinger was, it might have been what I wanted all along, at least I hope, because I'm stuck with it now! The inline 6 does sound a lot more exciting than the Stinger's V6. Wasn't as cheap as the Stinger! lol

2020 BMW M240i X-Drive, pretty much full load, Sunset Orange Metallic with Carbon Fiber trim interior, Dakota leather, M Performance Exhaust.

Congrats on the very nice car. To each his own as always. Too small for me. Holding my breathe hoping I have none of your Stinger issues.

Thanks and I hope nobody else has Stinger issues. Mine wasn't a horrendous car by any stretch, but it really did make a whole lot of unnecessary noises in the summer and just didn't live up to what I expected. Hopefully whoever owns next it isn't as picky as me!

where did you trade it? I'd be interested what they try to sell it for.

Most Stingers on the market up here are around 38K or so in similar spec to mine. I would imagine they will try for that price, but will have to come down a little due to an accident on record.

It will be interesting to see how you like it over time - not that I expect you to dislike it, just curious.

I started my journey to the Stinger as I was thinking about the M2 (before the Stinger was announced), but after trying to shoehorn myself in to one in a showroom, and then (I think) a 240M convertible of some sort owned by a colleague in Florida, I realized that would never work for me (I'm only 5'10.)

I'm gonna drop by in the middle of the night and stuff some squeaky toys in it.

.....go back to the "Joke of the day" thread where you belong. If you behave yourself I'll post something their later.
