Silly levels of power with no drama. When you pushed that car, though, it did come alive and felt like it shrunk around you. Maybe when it warm up and you can get some heat in the tires this one will show that side of itself.
It is beautiful and I'm sure you'll appreciate the comfort side when you're commuting to work most days.
Congrats again. This is such a cool car.

Thanks! Pretty happy with it so far. I still feel like I've not really driven it, since I've only done a neighborhood loop twice.
I've never driven an E39, but I find it interesting that you keep drawing parallels between my experience in the F90 and yours in the E39.
I want to get it registered and go on longer drives and spend more time outside of comfort mode. Certainly the interior, features, and quality are amazing. The car has zero rattles. It's not old, but it's not new either with 33k miles.
