i'm in a different continent mate. it's depreciated 20% from when i bought it (i bought it at 30% off list) but nobody here buys near new used BMWs other than from dealers, only very used BMWs from private sellers, so i'm going to very use it very well. |

Speaking of beautiful cars with three pedals that handle incredibile (this interior is #1 on my list if I end up ordering one or am lucky enough to find it used):
This one is outside my budget, I would have to settle for the lowly Turbo LOL. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...ort-classic-4/

I think you’re right about the M550 (you and I being partial to the 2020 specifically) and if I can make myself sit still and keep it then I’ll eventually get some 668’s. For that matter, you can buy a leather dash and an alcantara headliner replacement for probably what the 668’s cost. I’ve got all the options you can’t swap out post production (or would never want to), like DHP, Bowers, executive package, and luxury seating. Now, replacing dashboards and headliners comes with its own risks of rattles and creaks that probably aren’t worth it. But the wheels are easy. And a Dinan exhaust I bought this car to eventually do those things and let it be the weekend car like Joe-BMW33 and his 2018. I started all this because I thought my wife was going to want me to sell it for reasons I won’t go into. And if I were going to, it would need to be soon because of the maintenance items coming this year. But I think that’s worked itself out. Now I’m just in my obsessive window shopping cycle and that’s also going to have to work itself out. Haha

one good thing about the 8 series is that you can find older models, i think they started in 2019? and the LCI pretty much had no major changes at all. obviously, would probably have to look harder to find a one in great condition /low miles etc. |

Haha yeah. It’s like having a drinking problem and hanging out in a bar all day.

My wife is always on edge when I tell her I'm going to test drive another car. She thinks I'll wind up buying it. Until I get back and say what I did or didn't like about it then say "but I still like my 5 year old car the best of anything I've driven". Then she relaxes until the next time.

The saving grace with buying the M550 was that I traded in a Maserati for it that I had for a year. She hated everything about that car. Women (most) and car vices don't mix.

Porsche is on another level when it comes to handling. BMW isn't even in the conversation and that's fine, they serve vastly different purposes.

But you have me thinking, this Porsche Sport Classic I linked to is rear wheel drive only with rear wheel steering. They probably only move 5 degrees tops. One would still think you could still get them to slide and spin?

Well, now that you mention it, that’s pretty much all we did in high school in parking lots😂

I believe you but Google says rear legroom in M550 and M850 are almost identical
