I Love Driving This Car

I just dropped off the beast for its break in service and received an X1 as my loaner. I know it's nowhere near the same car but driving that X1 reminded me why I love the F90 comp so much.

In the F90 I find myself taking the long way home, looking for the winding road, easily navigating the turns, hugging the road, listening to the exhaust, feeling the RPMs, flying past anyone, all while nestled in seats that just hug the sh*t out of me. I love it!

I can't wait to really unleash after the break in service is done!

(Excuse the dusty pic. Pollen is terrible here right now but it still looks stunning )

Totally agree, no matter how many miles I drive it never seems too much driving!

The wife has a new vogue, air suspension the lot - it is so fucking boring compared the m5!

Your comment about the seats is spot on as well, I did a 13-hour drive through France a few weeks back and the seat was unreal.

Have you got a RaceChip on it?

No race chip yet. I wanted to get a real feel for it after the break in to see if I felt like it needed more. It's pretty amazing now and I'm not pushing it rev wise.

Same here....on bad snowy days....I leave the Q7 and take the M5. LOL. I only take another vehicle when I have a specific mission (all five of us going somewhere or dragging my trailer) or when I know the parking will stink.

I did hit some icy roads a few weeks back, that was 'fun,' fortunately it was a flat straight road and no on coming traffic. Caught it on Dash Cam. YIKES.

Leave ONE SNOW in the trunk. I got stuck once on April 2nd in Manchester New Hampshire with my '97 M3 due to a freak snow storm. Drove home in a couple inches of snow with my summer tires on. Not fun.
