Thanks again to everyone!

n54noob, love the car, great color! 6mt? Always looking to upgrade if I can find the right 335xi, but 6MT is mandatory for me!

Haven't joined BMW CCA yet, guess thats next on the list.

As for the calipers, I just used the G2 brake kit. Having the lift was NICE, as each caliper really took several coats. I walked around the car from caliper to caliper several times to apply evenly. After that, I just let it sit on the lift overnight (they recommend about 24 hrs), and it was good to go the next day!

thank you. No, auto trans for me, I know this goes against the grain for most enthusiasts out there (and it did for me for a looong time too), but I am very happy driving the automatic....I drove MT for 25 years, I am over it.
I just wanna punch it and GOOOOOO! This is my first BMW, but if you can find a 335i or xi, I can assure you, this is an awesome car.
