I did post an interior picture but it was too big, I am going to try again later, strange how tapatalk doesn't let you post more than one picture in the same post.
do you lease your cars, or buy and trade in?

Looks awesome!

The latest iDrive version is 7 and its excellent. We really love the tech in our 2020 X5.

Nice car, Alan. One of the last BMWs with a reasonable grille, I'm afraid.

Here is my 228 service loaner. Also a 428 (I think?) in the dealer, which is...godawful. It's legitimately worse in person.

And here are some M4s on the forecourt. The one on the left is Imola II; the one on the right is a bluish purple (blurple?). I think these are the special edition cars in the M colors. The blurple one is pretty sharp. They have stripes in the CF roof I could do without, though.

Here is a bonus 7 series pic with giant teeth that will eat you.

How is the 228, is it as bad as it sounds?

That new 4-series grille is horrible.

The 7 isn't great, but better than the 4...

The 4 is horrendous!

Loving the Blurple, however.
