I've posted this before, but after a driving experience day on the roads of northern PA in a Stingray, a 458, a Cobra, a Huracan, and an Alfa 4C, I went back to my F90 thinking it would be a relatively boring drive home, but I was blown away at how quick and competent it felt after driving a bunch of roughly 700hp mid engine cars (plus some others).

Plus it has 2 car seats in the back, and can do a Home Depot run.

Ticks a lot of boxes, including the fun ones, considering what it is.

Love this! So spot on. Raced a friend a while back from a roll on the highway. I was only in m1 (sport/sport), he was in a modded c6 z06 and not only could he not overtake me, but I started to walk him and that absolute beast of an engine under our hoods was still pulling hard! Best part? Stopped by the grocery store on the way home and had no problems fitting a full load of groceries in the trunk!

A wagon version would be great but the extra glass and structure and sound deadening might add 300 lbs weight. Mercedes has a wagon, Porsche sort of has one and Audi has one.

G99 is on the way baby. I have my grubby little hands in to try to get one. I got a CS, maybe BMW will be nice to me.

For the past 20 years, BMW has not sold its highest performance wagons in the US. We had an E61 535xi for 10 years, but it obviously was not equivalent to an E61 with the S85 V10.

No video. Was just a friendly run on the highway on the way home.
