We had an E36 325is back in the day. The 230i reminds me of that car in good ways -- except I think it's quicker and maybe more nimble than the old one.

Thanks, that's helpful.

Seconded. You can rent nice adult ones. It's the way.

I'm sore, but CT scans found no actual damage. I'll take it.

And he won't need a helmet or anything, because he's a supergenius.

It was not ideal.

I've always been a sucker for Alpinas. But I'm leaning toward keeping this purchase simple.

Realistically, today I'm thinking I'll just grab a 230i from a local dealer's inventory and rethink in a year or two.

In its defense, it's a 6 Series Gran Coupe, so it could use some lightness.

I think so.

None, but to a certain kind of Elon fan it sounds awfully cool.

American here and yes. I'd prefer that our executions be *very* rare and also that they be hangings, preferably in public.

That is kind of shocking, actually. Big fail on the dealer's part (and possibly BMW's too).

I dunno, F1 is headed in that direction. Kerfuffles over the most trivial crap.

I live in one of the oldest US cities (Providence). It's not quite like an old European city but we have narrow streets here too, and my off-street parking is bit of a squeeze. I'm not sure it's a deal breaker, but it would be a pain to park etc. A consideration.

Yeah. I'm a city-dweller so it makes me hesitate a little. I have off-street parking but it's kind of a tight squeeze.

I was looking at one (parked on the street nearby) last night. Thought it was bigger than I remembered so I looked up the dimensions. It's about 5" wider than my old Ford Escape, which is not trivial. Food for thought.

Yep, it all goes into the calculations. I'm not 100% sold on the Polestar 4 yet, but it's the leading contender at this moment. Still thinking.

Not officially, not yet. Should know in a day or two. But they warned me to expect that.
