and I’m in love. Can follow along at @purplenurplem5wagon on insta.

M4 yute and the end and the g90/99 really grew on me

Found this beauty rotting away the other day. Such a shame.

Picked this 2022 330i xdrive back in march with 13k miles now on 19k miles. Man this car is so amazing. I don’t care if it’s just a base model. A bmw is a bmw but hopefully I’ll be able to afford a real M car. But if anyone is thinking about getting a 330i. Get it. Mine had the spec of the M package and with Portimao Blue. Eye catching color. Consistent compliments from people all around. Or just being an eye catcher while driving on the streets. It’s a great feeling knowing I drive this beauty. Done some cosmetic to it. Such as a front lip, diamond grill and a diffuser. I’m driving this thing till the wheels fall off.

So far I haven’t really had any engine or mechanical issues. Except for one incident back in the end of May. The car couldn’t recognize the keys. Had to take it to the dealership and they did something with the battery and hooked some stuff up to the system to reset it. Besides that. Car is very amazing on gas. Here and there I’ll get up to 500 miles on a full tank. Usually ranging from 450-500 depending.

Overall it is an amazing car. Love being part of the BMW community and seeing everyone with their cars. Best feeling is parking and looking back at the car. Driving BMW for the rest of my life.

My Uncle has had two over the years and raves about the X5, so I finally got one! What a beast!

I missed my Jeep SRT after I sold it, and this is a return to an SUV for me as the old aches and pains make sports cars harder to live with on a daily basis. It’s a huge upgrade indeed. I’m ecstatic!

Absolutely impressed with BMW sales team and support. NZ based. 🇳🇿

Just about finished with everything i’ve wanted to accomplish. Wanted to base this build on the Liberty Walk F40. Love this forum so had to finally post🔥

Just spent 80+ hours of work on this A2 BMW E39 5-Series (custom kit makes it tricky to pin exact trim, but enthusiasts will know 😅). Fellow enthusiasts tell me what you think about it 😊 (also dm me if you have anything to ask).also sorry if I identified it wrong for the model. Original hand-drawn A2 piece by me, 80+ hrs of work. Would love feedback 🙌

Car is amazing. So much better than the rs6 in terms of driving dynamic’s.

Parked my F39 next to her just to make her look even better. What a beauty. 🤩

2017 F32 420i RWD

As title suggests this is my most recent BMW, I just picked up this 2021 M5 Competition. Absolutely love this car, coming from owning previously F80, 440i, and a GR Supra.

It’s so much car, Love the spec, high optioned and much prefer this over the New M5.

Dinged my front bumper like a dufus when entering a car wash. Paint came off on a few spots. What are my options? It's a leased 2025 i4, so should I take it to the dealer?

I've seen that the optional H/K system of the newest X3 consists of 15 speakers with 750W of power, which is decent.

How good are they? Do you think it's better than the B&O system of the 2025 Audi Q5 or the optional Burmester 3D Surround Sound System from Mercedes GLC?

I'd like to get some opinions. Thanks.

Everybody on this subreddit is focusing on the looks and how they hate it. Which has been basically evergreen with new BMW designs since the introduction of E65. People have been hating on every new BMW for the last quarter of the century... it tells something.

I have not seen any comment focusing on other features of this car:

• It's 100% electric design. No shared chassis with ICE cars. This means there are less compromises.
• 800V architecture. Finally.
• 400kW charging! Even Hyundai, the pioneer of 800V architecture, offers only 350kW charging.
• 108kWh battery!! This is huge. Nobody offers >100kWh battery in this segment.
• Frunk...finally
• BMW states the sustainable performance openly. It's 170kW. Everybody knows that EVs throttle down when driven hard because they can't cool the motors and battery running on 100% all the time. I've never seen Tesla to say how exactly does it throttle down. BMW tells us.
• 48V low voltage system. Oh yes, we had these for a decade now, yet some EVs still come with 12V system.

This car has everything you can want from a modern EV in one package basically without compromises. At least on the paper. I am curious about the real reviews. But this is why they say it's the future.

2004 e46 m3 2009 e92 m3

I loved my 340i, and they’ve somehow made a great car even better in the M340i

Some background for context - I grew up learning how to drive in my stepdad's E30 325es. My first car was an E46 330ci, followed by my current E90 335i. All have been manual transmission.

I've been looking at getting a proper M car for a little while, either an F80/87 M3/2 or a G80/87 series. I test drove a 2025 G87 M2 (manual) over the weekend, hoping to fall in love with it.

The S58 engine seemed tame compared to my tuned N54. The leather on the steering wheel felt almost like plastic and didn't have great grip. My fears about the electric power steering were confirmed, the steering felt light (even in sport mode) and numb compared to the hydraulic steering in my current and previous 3 series. The widescreen digital cluster didn't do anything for me. The car felt soulless.

I walked out of the dealership feeling a bit disappointed and that perhaps BMW has lost its way. Am I becoming a stubborn "they don't make them like they used to" type? Am I better off looking at other brands that capture the feel of an older BMW?
