It is just so much more fun to dart through in traffic or toss around on twisty roads. I guess after having such a luxurious car with all of its ridiculous features, I feel like I checked that wish off my list and want to go back to driving a car that brings me joy. This might also be the product of a midlife crisis or a COVID-19 recession era mindset that makes me question the value of certain luxuries.

What is annoying to me is that BMW (to be fair, like many car makers) doesn't let us choose (and pay for) better features in a 3 series like Nappa upholstery.
The seats in the G20 are like park benches. Seriously, the MINi Clubman S has superior seats.
