- ill-fitting POS aftermarket engine oil filter (i.e. not a MANN or Mahle OE/OEM) - and only God knows what oil CarMax used and how much they filled the sump with; I changed the oil right away after my initial 200-mile road trip driving home from CarMax - low coolant level - crease in right front fender above headlight - incorrect sized battery and completely missing vent tube* - Engine air box half-full of shredded newspaper (from Cincinnati, OH) and shredded fiberglass insulation. A mouse made a nice home for himself in there - Broken-off storage door pin that closes the interior cubby light (behind the seats) - Cabin airfilter nearly fully clogged with decaying leaves and Poplar tree seed - Loose-fitting passenger-side B-pillar trim (**tabs broken from the audio system install I'm guessing) - Bondo on inner right front bumper * a missing battery vent tube on a used BMW is the tele tale sign the car was not maintained properly by a BMW tech/enthusiast. Good easter eggs: - **the PO had the audio system upgraded with an amp, speakers, and subs all from JL Audio (I knew this going in because there is a small JL Audio button sticker on the instrument panel next to the traction control button) - it had a fresh set of Pirelli P-Zero's RFT - CarMax brand front license plate holder (but I like it, so BFD); looks like the plate is floating in front of the bumper Yeah, CarMax has a 100-point inspection by "industry experts". LFOL.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."

I second that that you are the winner! AND the fact that Steeler doesn't remember whether consumed or threw it away, well......
