Personally not working for me. After having a F80 and G01 M40i I've realized I don't need two sporty cars with horrible MPG. My next SUV will be more comfy and practical and my F80 replacement will likely be a Model 3 Performance. G80 manual will be tempting though but out of sync with my lease cycles.

No silly, this is the joke! Look at how those dudes are laughing! That dude on the right is loving it!
So, yeah, this is completely an alternative to that If lease rates stay where they are, i'll absolutely be getting this over over that. |

Sad but true. I guess that statement would read even more true if I stated brown or black. The numbers are staggering. Thankfully I didn't fall victim to the allure of the streets.

Given the car had 20 miles on the odo and hadn't been broken in, couldn't really drive it like I stole it, but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. The transmission is a *lot* better than I expect. Never got in my way - even in full auto. In manual mode it was sort of nice - though the ratios were very close so it was a pain to avoid the rev limiter. It's a multi-clutch 9-speed box and downshifts quickly when you press the paddle (in manual). Better than the ZFAT in the X3M I drove. The engine/exhaust sounds pretty good (V8 goodness and a performance exhaust), but I wan't totally blown away (apparently they recently added some particulate filter in the exhaust that affects the sound for the worse) Felt like a comfortable heavier GT style car. Very responsive, but not as 'hands on' as an M4. I didn't get a chance to push anywhere near the limits, but I can imagine it being a bit heavy/understeery on the track. The interior and technology is hugely better than the BMW. In fact, feels much more modern than the X3M I test-drive recently The digital dash is much better than the BMW equivalent. That's a bit sad. Why are BMW M cars always a few years behind the times? I'm sort of tempted - also thinking about a C8 or a Taycan, but may not be able to wait that long. Carrera GTS, Audi RS5 or RSTT are also in the running. Please BMW, throw me a bone! |

I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on an RS5 Sportback. I like the X3M but not enough to justify the price. I dragged raced one at an M Track day last week and the turbo lag is really noticeable off the line, and that was a comp model in sport plus. The RS5 is dynamically a much more engaging vehicle, and I realize I'm comparing a SUV to a car, but they are at similar price points.

You will find the 2015 I drive is -
1) easier and quicker to use and has more intuitive layouts 2) has far better resolution and graphics 3) has a much faster processor I had a 2015 Audi with the MMI and honestly it was a joke... my buddy has a 2019 A4 with the full virtual cockpit and while it looks and feels great; it just doesn't work that well; the menus are all over the place. It's obvious BMW spent a lot of money on Idrive and it really works well. |

Kicking around the idea of selling my M4 and moving to a 991.1 GT3.
