11.79 on the 1/4? Damn that's fast for a fat saloon

Hey Brett I value your opinion mate, what's your thoughts on a m550i VS a M340i as a weekend car.? Never driven either but love both of them.. Cheers..

Glad to hear the appreciation for the electric capabilities. Certainly refreshing given the all too common ‘car guy’ EV hating online.
I also agree the fake sound is horrible, I much prefer the quiet yet powerful sound of the electric motors.

Those rims would not be fun to clean haha...

But honestly what a shame. E34 and E39 5 series are such lovely cars but everything after that isn't worth considering sadly.

I miss the interior smell of my cousins e28 735. Real BMW prestige

There are Chinese sedans that look better than this. SERIOUSLY.

Ugly out. Ugly in. That dash is an afterthought. Haven't tried an electric. Probably never will. By the time they are a sensible option. And I could afford one. I will have reverted to being spoon fed in a home. Presumably somebody knew they were installing a 72 inch TV screen across the front. Couldn't they have made an attempt to incorporate it into the dash. This looks like the car was finished and a guy rocks up with a big box from JB Hi Fi. Where do you want to put this. And the designer of the front didn't finish his assignment. But it was deadline day. And they used it anyway. BMW'S back in the day came with nothing. Even a radio was an option. Then you could buy the SE version. That had a radio. And a few other toys. The sport version was a revamped standard model made by a tuning house. Until BMW took everything in house. Some of the first M series were great. This isn't even close.
