I would like to know what he is comparing it to ... obviously I have one and think it is a great car ...

He drives an E93 M3 6MT.

From that time when K and I borrowed it to drive up the PCH.

Completely makes sense ... the 540 is a boat next to that car.

Everything feels like a boat next to my 2. Although certainly the E93 is stiffer all around—and more powerful, of course.

I find that it takes atkeast several days to acclimate to any new car. My initial impression is always to focus on the things that are different and that seem “worse”.

My brother has the E93 M3 (btw super low miles and for sale for a decent price :eeps: )... beautiful car to look at and his is white which really looks nice ... would I want to daily drive it is another story.

Truthfully I never found it that much fun to drive but maybe I would if I had more seat time with it :dunno:

I am not defending my 540 which is going back at the end of the year, seriously could care less if people like it or not, I think BMW could have done better on the exterior design of it which is boring as shit and I really don’t like the M sport wheels on mine but overall it is one of my favorite cars it just drive super comfortable and has a nice level of sport to it ... I wouldn’t compare it to my 911 or Cayman being they are in different categories.

At the end of the year I wouldn’t be surprised if I get another one ...

The new a6 looks really nice so that might be worth checking it. Doubt it drives better though.
