I'll drive my truck as the daily in the meantime (RAM is surprisingly nice to drive), and then will try out Porsche Drive subscription since it's available here in Vegas. It's expensive but will let me test-drive everything extensively and then make a decision.
Another point I wanted to mention is the death of ED. It provided excellent discounts a few years ago and was a great reason to go with another BMW since the vacations in Europe you can do in your own US-spec car are unforgettable.

That's why I kept my 2009 E90 LCI Sedan. I've had a stick since I was 15 yr old and I'm keeping it. Starting to redo the interior a bit. One cupholder is AWOL and ordered another. May change out trim. Will look at Apex 18 inch wheels when/if group buys. It's what BMW once was ... but I've got to say, the tech in the new cars makes things easier.
