Don't forget how much you loved the gas tank... I think lack of range is what ultimately turned you electric...

Range matters a lot less in the year of not driving and no traffic. The E9x M3 gets ok fuel economy when you aren't sitting in a traffic jam through your commute.

I just need to say... Doom did not look so Doom-ful last night. Down one vehicle and still looking quite clean and straightened up (as long as you didn't look where a bunch of crap was piled up out of the camera's view), it looked quite slick.

I kept giving the garage a once over with my own garage in mind and was struck by how empty Doom appears. Most of the times I've been there, there's a project going on with stuff all over the place because project. Aside from the cars, there are a couple tool chest and cabinet in one corner, a rinkydink shelving unit in another corner, a couple garbage cans, and...the lions. I know there's a ton of stuff in the basement that would normally be in the garage, but it was still interesting to see.

Ha ha yes, the range was laughably bad, but it did help persuade me that a 250 mile range wasn't all that bad.

I haven't really paid attention to the range on the F80; it seems more livable but then again I haven't really commuted in it in more than a year.

The guy who bought my E46 asked if he could buy my E90 today as well.

No. I’d need to come up with a replacement. The E46 was surplus.
