https://f92.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=2098241 We have some common heritage. I, too, had a 2018 Carbon Black M550. There's even a couple pictures of it at the end of my thread. Last edited by snowbimmer; 04-24-2024 at 10:46 AM.. |

So the E60 was your first BMW and it didn't scare you away? hahah. Arguably the ugliest and most boring 5-series in the history of the line-up, but the bar was pretty low when you went to the F10, so that had to be a major upgrade and as we know, it just got better after the F10 with the G30. I had an F10 535xi, I don't think the car was in the shop once in 3.5 years of ownership for warranty work or repair. I can't say that about any other BMW I've had in my long line-up. You have had an impressive run, save for the E60 Thanks for sharing.

I suffered through a second one and then was happy as hell when the F10 arrived and even more so the G30. Last edited by snowbimmer; 04-25-2024 at 04:08 PM.. |

The M850 seats are on par with the M550, just not quite as good. It took no time getting used to. Good thing, because I drove 800 miles in the first two days I had it. I can do 500 miles, easy. I think they are very comfortable. And way better than the M5s. But everyone is different. Some M5 forum members swear that the M5 seats are the best they've ever had. I will say this - I think BMW should put a tad more effort ( and cushion) into their seats. Last edited by snowbimmer; 04-24-2024 at 12:10 PM.. |

I went for the E65 7-series during the Bangle era. Went through three of them. My buddy picked up an E60 540i MT. Three pedals definitely made it more fun. My last E65 I bought new, I think it was $100,000. I refused to put snows on it and was comfortable being "careful". I hit an ice patch on a turn and went into a rock wall and totalled it three months after delivery. I then always put snows on all my RWD BMW's if driving in the winter. I have non runflat summer softies on the M550, I don't drive it in the winter.

Bummer about the E65. I've only have 4WD for the last 20 years and always run dedicated snows. Never not gotten home. |
