New to Raptors. I just traded my 2021 M5 for it; that's how much I want to be in one. The M5 is an amazing car, but I was never truly comfortable in it. I've driven M3/4s over the years and thought I wanted in an M5 this go, but it just didn't work for me. I came out of a beefed up 2018 Tundra, and really miss owning a truck, which is something I thought I'd never say. Anyway, my Raptor arrives tomorrow. Then tint/ceramic/retrax. Should be able to pick it up Wed/Thur. 35 in. Agate. Decals (although my girl says the decals make it look like too much is going on). Everything but the safe.

Sales rep called the yard. And unless yours called to confirm it's whereabouts, it could already be here. Mine reflected in Salem late Friday but it was actually already in the yard.

Welcome! I sold my M3 when I bought my raptor as I found it never got driven. It's not as fast or nimble obviously, but it's a different kind of fun. I still have an X5M though, which is an interesting blend of speed and size. Enjoy the new truck!

I got rid of my m3 when it took two trips to get my stuff to the unit for ntc
