Shelby GT350. Had under 200 miles on it when I found a nail in the tire. Have had it for 3 months and barely 300 miles on it now.

Trying to follow the recommended break in period, under 4K rpm for 1000 miles. It seems so far away, I’ve watched a bunch of YouTube videos just to hear what it might sound like.
Break in procedures are bogus. Drive the car like you normally would as long as the engine and trans are warmed up first. Only advice is not to launch the car hard or slam gears during the first 1,000. But, that's to ensure the trans/diff are OK. Also, engine break a bunch early on.
I agree- stock the car is fine. By me there a few oVW dealers that will do the stage 1 APR tune. Since the warranty on the vehicle is unbeatable (6 years 72,000 miles bumper-to-bumper), I had a waiver written in to the sales agreement that professional tuning would not void the warranty. I have no worries.
However, there are multiple torque options available. I think pushing the stock clutch much beyond 400-410fp is risky. There is an APR "low-torque" option as well. Once you have the APR tune, you can "flip" from high to low quickly and cheaply (I think my dealer will charge $50 if I want to alter from the high to low torque tune). I have not had any clutch slip at all, but I have heard that it can occur. The rest of the vehicle can handle the Stage 1 tune no problem.
Just throwing this up in air: Too many toys and some have to go for a new kid and a new SUV. My M4 is one that I'll be letting go. I have it leased through my business, so it would be a lease takeover (done at BMW dealer on my dime).
2018 M4. 3,200 miles. 36 month lease that started April of 2018. 12,000 miles per year. $823.78 per month net is the payment. Sticker was: $69,695.00. Minor options; basically a stripper and a blank canvas. That was my intention, but I didn't get that far yet. Residual is calculated at $39,309.20.
Asking $3,200 for my capital cost reduction. Negotiable. Not required. Let's have a dialogue.
I'll pay transfer fee.
I have - new in box and never opened - MS spacers and Eibach springs that I'll sell with the car for 1/3 off retail if the new buyer is interested. Currently has black grill surrounds and side blades.
Car is in Houston TX.
We're all car bros here, so I thought it might interest someone.

That's a pretty good monthly payment for that net cost. What did you put down on it if you don't mind me asking?
Bros, I can't stop looking at this fucking car. It's way way way out of my price range so I'm willing to bang Ravven for the funds to buy it, who's gonna be my donor?

Model 3 is all that I'd hoped for and more. Such an exquisite ride with near endless power on demand. 1k miles hit yesterday and owned it for 4 weeks now.
Electric is the future for sure and with our own PV system fuel is a tenth the cost of gas.
