Nothing from BMW drives (that I know of) like the E9x anymore. Disconnected and numb for sure. I miss the steering from my e90 335i.

I didn’t get my first 3 series until I was 40. You’re fine.

They need to bring the Abarth 500e!

Crown Sport. Crown Sport. Crown Sport.

I’m just about to hit 60k on my 540i. I’ve had a few repairs done but warranty covered thankfully. This engine is just butter. That’s the only way I can describe it. It purrs most of the time and then growls when pushed. It never feels like it’s really working hard. It just sounds and feels so good. Engine wise, the PCV valve (+gasket, o-ring, valve cover) is really the only issue I’ve had.

I don’t know if or how I’ll move on from this engine when my warranty expires.

I’ve never owned a manual with much power so I have an honest question since manuals seem to cap out at 6 gears.

Can you cruise at highway speeds doing say 90mph and where are the rpm’s usually at? I’m used to highway cruising speeds of 85+ mph and wonder if “cruising” at those speeds will have some cars overtaxed at high rpm’s. Debating going back to a stick because of that.
