The 435 I just upgraded from was a manual, too. This one pretty much feels the same just a but tighter right now. I’m sure it was start to loosen up and smooth out a bit as I break it in. While I don’t often use the start/stop feature, I have noticed that the engine seems to start up a bit more agressively than my old 435 and needs a second to come back to idle before you drive off, otherwise you’ll induce some embassasing bucking off the start.

The babying should be somewhat natural, at least for a little while, as I’m a bit nervous driving it about and settling into it. I’ll feel a little better once the PPF has been installed but I’ll still have some time to get familiar with all of the new tech before I can relax and just drive.

I don’t know yet, it doesn’t bother me. For now, I’m replacing the emblems and wheel caps to the 50 year M emblems, and gonna replace the front mesh air vents with the CSL and the new 2025 style , but in gloss black

Crossed the finish line
Took delivery on April 12.
Details of process from allocation request in Post #4. This was a smooth buying process. None of the usual annoying, endless negotiations with the finance department or miss-ordering of the car. I wasn't planning on trading my F80 but they offered an acceptable (to me) amount so I went with it. Paid cash. Received the $2,500 BMW military rebate (followed the instructions on BMWUSA web page.) I cannot see how the dealership should or could have done anything differently. A pleasant car buying experience. I bought my two F80s from this dealer (both European delivery.)
