The exhaust is loud! Makes a lot of popping noises if you let off the throttle quickly after revving it out. It makes two sets. If you are in first, rev it out and abruptly let off it makes two loud pops. Then, as the revs quickly die down it pops twice again, but quieter. It’s pretty cool!

yes, I think that’s right. I noticed the metal rings, but everything else is digital I think.

I can’t post videos here, but this is a link to the 360 camera view too. Pretty cool!

first question my wife asked was, “why didn’t they make the car render blue”? Good question! Haha

Car was finally picked up! Took a long time. Towing and restoration companies are super busy! We will move back in tomorrow or the next day!

It’s amazing how fast this car is.
https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1637807

130mph trap speeds, 155 in the 1/2 mile and 10.6-10.7 times with stock everything.

After owning it for a while now (7k miles) it gobbles up pavement in an extreme fashion. I often find myself thinking I need to mash the pedal to get around someone, but it’s often overkill, the car flat out flies.

I havent had any problems with it, even the electronics have been great. Barring anything terrible happening to it, it’s the most well rounded, best car I’ve owned.
