And it even ticks the "crippling design flaw from factory" box with its cracking cylinder liners so it's a true BMW.

BMW, you really know how to ruin a thing.
Hope to have the red one back on the road before years end. Needs a power steering refresh.

Winter tires on in anticipation of Chicago’s winter starting any day. Of course it’s going to be 45F+ for the next two weeks now

Taking some roads to explore what this car's advantage are and what things I need to watch for.
In the end it feels closer to my old ZHP than my M but......with a FAR more robust push when I hit the go pedal. Being used to a NA engine, the corner you see is what I was riding on back to back to back which usually takes a combo of 2nd and 3rd gear with any E46 including an M. But the car below, it got upset in 2nd because it wants to put over 400ftlbs down almost instantly which isn't good for keeping a smooth line. Third would pull me out of apex at a low enough RPM that when I throttled, boost could build slow enough to smoothly transition torque to the ground and within a few hundred RPMs, I'd be at max power moving far too quick for the next turn. Good thing BMWs have decent stock brakes. LOL

You dare blaspheme the good E46 ///M name?

Also, nice car and I'm glad you're enjoying it and I am very envious of that torque
LOL, the S54 will remain in the hall of fame forever. I don’t think this M57 will. But it will be remembered fondly by the owners and the believers just like our ZHP M54! And what a great honor it has been to be part of the ZHP story for 8 years of my life. I’ll never forget! And I’ll never forget you Will. LOL The ZHP lead me to meet you personally and develop a friendship even though you never got to see mine!
