in what we all assume is just a long con sales ploy, my sister in law was given this overpowered M toy as a loaner while her more generic X3 was have some repairs

of course repair was a simple COMPLETE tear down and replacement. :D

I think the only thing I don’t like is that the integra seat’s pattern continues onto the headrest, I’d prefer it was dark grey. a problem I may be able to solve with some swapping.
