Fantastic choice!
I too drove an AMG car and was terribly disappointed. I think the example I drove was maybe a roach, but I agree with every one of your impressions. I was incredibly diappointed. I had planned to drive it home...but...
The same day I went and drove the M240ix I have now. I love mine for all the same reasons you liked your test drive. Incredible car.
dradernh speaks the truth. You would probably be better searching on your own or contacting a broker. Be prepared to be somewhat flex on the build you are looking for. With that said, the 2018's should be coming off leasenow or soon. That is the first year of the LCI. You should be able to find a CPO no problem. I frankly don't recommend buying from any dealer other than a BMW. I also choose Private party over dealers. As long as the owner is willing to have a PPI. Always get a PPI.
BrettKA7 summed up the few big issues the B58 has seen. Although, this motor is in many many BWM models, and as proven to be reliable so far. No issues so far for me. I am stock for now.
Are you willing to ship? Or buy out of state?
If so, your options will open up. Also, keep an eye out on the member for sale section. This forum tends to have well kept examples when listed here. Its a unique group.
Good luck with your search! Looking forward to seeing what you end up with...
