Yes. I was not sure I would like it since I prefer medium to darker colors but I actually do. Kind of like interlagos it changes color with sun exposure. One plus is it shows dust and dirt less.

Took my first long ride today. San Rafael to Point Reyes and back alone. This car is so strange for me. It’s a mix of the best I’ve ever had. Let me preface this by saying I’ve never had crazy expensive toys. I’m talking P car turbos and the like.

It’s an amazing toy. Speed wise in most cases it beats my old M5, the fasted car I’ve owned so far, IF the turbos are on boil. Handling wise wow. It reminds me of my E36. Go cart.

The only car I have had that comes close, handling wise, is my 94 MR2 Turbo which weirdly enough had the same power on twitchy back end.

This car has both, The speed and the toss ability. I loved my 05 M3. I like this one way more.

Awesome. The size and handling of my 2 series very much remind me of my 2006 M3 convertible. In a good way. Everything else about the newer car is more civilized and comfortable. A much better daily driver-- a good thing, since I'm about to drive her 5 hours to the beach with my giant teenage son.

Haha. It is not.

M2C * 3600 with manual

E39 M5 = 3957

Still pretty portly for its small size.
