Group buy on Drake!?
Sorry you guys ran into such a putz. Did I miss why the lady raged? Overwhelmed by traffic??
She was texting or something... 3 lanes of traffic started moving and she just sat there so everyone including Kristen went around her... well, you know how Kristen likes her car loud... I guess this lady didn't like that when Kristen passed her(I'm sure Kristen made sure the car was revving when she passed her) and singled her out for her road rage

I hate to say it but I think we are at a crossroad with this car. Neither of us are really feeling the love... Can't quite put my finger on it but I think it's because this car has no soul. It's what I would expect from say, a performance Lexus or something. The car is way too computer controlled for a manual transmission. Sure, you can turn DSC completely off to get some control back but then you loose all the feature we like too. The clutch is mush. No feel or feedback at all. The shifting is terrible. Even with the UUC short shifter, we still have trouble finding the gates. Now we know why everyone is buying the DCT... a computer assisted manual isn't fun.
I'm not sure what direction we will go... maybe another X5 and get her out of performance. Or maybe an older touring we can mod. We've talked about a e90 M3...We're even thinking of a diesel. The other thing we could do is fully mod out the M2 and see what its like but IDK if we want to invest the money. Right now, the car holds its maximum value with only 5k on the clock. She got a huge discount on the car so we could still break even...
I know it sounds crazy, we thought we just being too picky but one of her customers has the identical car in white and he complained about the same things and will probably sell his and get a DCT. He only has around 5k on his too...
Thoughts?

You mentioned Touring, and you mentioned E90 M3. I think you should build an E91 M3 so I can live vicariously through you.

Lol, I'd like to but my car is still in the garage in pieces. I haven't been able to work on it in a month.

I think that is the general consensus with the new bmw models that are manual.
What would be cool is a BMW 328IT M-SPORT MANUAL SPORT WAGON
