As expensive as GAS can be, I found a new level of retail therapy after doing a bit of internet browsing during the last storm. LOL
Good news...a 4x12 just fits in the trunk. 😎

Some nice wheels you got there! I imagine she's pretty fun on the open road, am I right?

Thank you! A blast to drive. We took a quick Smokey and the Bandit style run to the nearest In N Out and the car just ate up the miles in absolute comfort. And any time you want to have a bit of fun it obliges willingly. It gets high 20s mpg, and on a road trip it would be more like high 30s. Pretty cool!

very nice! I really like those new ones, I know some don't like the grille, but I like how aggressive it makes it look. Beautiful color, too! Congrats!

Got to admit I prefer the older BMW grill, but I never bought it. :)
Did you get the 4 or 6???

Good choice! I rented a 450i and was quite impressed all around.

Happy NCD. Drive , enjoy and dump when maintenance starts getting on your nerves. BIL loved driving and the ride of his 5 series, until cost of maintenance got to him.

Thank you! Yes, the grille gets endless criticism online, but I like the look. I think this generation, overall, the 4 looks more aggressive and distinct...not just a 2-door 3 Series.

It’s a 4. I used to obsessively read car magazines (you know...before I was afflicted with GAS). I remember hating every new generation of Honda Civic, then growing to like it by the time the next generation was released.

I would imagine that the criticism will quiet as BMW puts that nose on more cars.

It’s a 3-yr lease for that very reason. I have no interest in owning a car with a reputation for $$$ repairs after it falls off warranty.

As a former BMW owner, I endorse this message.
