How do you like the S8?
I picked up my '02 S6 the weekend before you picked up your S8. After seeing what was to become your S8, we're thinking of selling the BMW and picking up a '03 S8. Nice looking car.

Re: How do you like the S8?
I love it Chris! A couple of things to sort out but the drive back to Maryland was nothing short of bliss. Expansive interior in comparison and only 8" longer and 7" wider than the urS. Does not drive nearly the size it feels from the interior. Sport mode on the tranny rocks. 7K redline, smooth shift, 7K redline and so on. Smooth and quiet at double the speedlimit speeds. Brakes are softer than Paul's car but I suspect mine are original hence the quip on brakes. Interior is *rich*. Seats are awesome. I got nada bad to say.

Real //Scheister that guy.
Musta been, enough for yous to flys all the way across the country for things sight unseen!
8-)
Great you're enjoying them.
Mark- I'm hoping Tim LeClair of Foreign Autopart in MI can get me / us UrS8 parts, I have an email into him. I did just order a K&N panel from some online outfit, figure why not unleash a bit more of that //Seductive intake //Snarl yeah. Less MAF fouling worries than our UrS6's heh heh, why not.
Neu steering wheel badge in last night from Del Turgo / ebay.de - mine was all picked at - big difference.
And, the coupe de grace... 15mm //Spacers en-route too, ala Edweirdo Trendsetter //Style - BUHbye that f'n <<<infernal / criminal>>> ET48. Them I cannot wait fer.
Now ***there's*** a guy to watch out for (don't drop the soap)...

Hmmm... seems we're probably selling the BMW
and starting the search for a nice '03 S8... lol... and all with wife's blessing. 
Regarding the rotors/filters/etc... have you tried Clair? I haven't had problems with ECS but I know they had those issues with credit card numbers getting out into the wrong hands.
Thanks for the review of the new car. Mine came 2900 miles back home without a hiccup. And yes, the sport mode rocks...

Yeah I sorta (sorta) debated yanking the CMG from my UrS6 to shelve for...
...'someday', but it wasn't to happen.
Methinks enough technogeeks will get their scrubby little paws on them and enough time will pass that someone will venture down that road.
Tozo? Heh heh heh.
Rossato jokes he'll create an automotive rotisserie to accomplish just that. Never know.
Yesterday I had a revelation (I see the light!)...
Someone recently posted an ebay RS6 motor and harness for sale. Then I got to thinking about a few 'repaired' UrS8's I've seen come / go across the local market on the <<<cheap>>> (think low teens), and the wheels started turning.
Hmmmmmmm...
Naaaaaaa... not I seyz Paul (mit 3 kids four and under), but, maybe just maybe someone fewl enough here???
DOOOO EEEEEEEEET...
