Do you have a good stretch near you to open her up?! I've heard a lot of regulations, due to past catastrophic accidents, hinder most of that now. I'm frequently on the Autostrada in Italy, which still is pretty good in the South, especially Sicily.

I'm like 10 minutes from the border, last time I drove there it was still open... there are like two unlimited patches.

In Switzerland BMWs reputation is suffering a bit due to deadly accidents involving leased M models.

Drivers with no experience losing control over their F90s. Idiots for sure disabled DSC and AWD.

This is a common issue we are having here.

These kids could not afford a car like this so their family is paying for it... imagine having a M3/4/5 as your first car... insane!

Back to topic, the longest patch I've had was when driving to and from Munich.

Glad to hear you have those stretches and I hear you on kids in these cars. Back in '87 when I was 17, I had a new Mustang GT, but it's not relative to today. Car was considered "fast" for the day w/ a 0-60 of 6.7 and 150 top speed, but that's nothing by today's standards. Kids today have WAY too much disposal at their power. I had my share of close calls racing as a kid and could only imagine how much worse it could have been today. Parents of today need to wisen up!
M car wise, my first was a new '99 M3 @ 29yrs old.
You have any mods planned for your F90?

I don't like to mod cars powerwise... maybe some cosmetic touches like powdercoat the wheels or change them out... maybe another exhaust... or wrap in case the green gets boring after a few years.

Modding is pretty difficult in Switzerland... even intake boxes can be an issue and this differs from state to state.

This color tends to grow on the observer. Great choice!
