Funny. Those are my only beefs with my 2 series. Downgraded interior/amenities, and a bit small inside. It helps not having it as my only car. But, I miss the commodiousness of even the 3 series models I’ve had—and of course, the X5s I’ve had. But, it does beat all those cars in handling for sure. However, the Boxster—not so much! But, it is more livable than the 718…

Booty shot that I took from the street earlier this PM. Zoom and nearly dark equals blurry. iPhone XS.

Hey Josh, as you are aware definitely not a replacement for the killer V8 and build quality of the M5 but with the tune wicked quick and just one of the last affordable (pre pandemic pricing) hooligan 6spd’s out there.

The bulldog looks keep growing on me every day. Yes it’s a keeper unless the G87 blows my socks off.
