I sold my 2017 GT350.
Bought a foreign car. (Breaking of first rule, no foreign cars)
Got a 2018 four cylinder BMW 413i X drive convertible (Breaking of V8 rule).
At least it has rear wheel drive, actually all wheel drive, but rear wheels do most of the work.
Roads around here have max 60 mph limits and are single lane each way.
Twisty turny hill country roads, with very few passing zones.
Locals drive AT LEAST five mph under the speed limit.
More fun to drive a slow car fast than driving a fast car slow.
MFA did not fit the Recarro seat very comfortably.
Yes, I am on drugs.
No, it is not April 1.

Glad to see you got something you can use. BMW’s are fun cars, but they want to be TOUCHED!! I think it goes with the ultimate driving experience!

What did you buy?
430ix?
Did you open the hood and count spark plugs yet? Straight 6s are kind of BMW’s thing.
Congrats on the car, as much crap gets talked about BMWs they are actually fun, predictable handling cars. If I was going to buy a car right now and had different spending habits it would probably be a BMW M2 comp.

Seriously! Although I bet the same could be said for the GT-350.

Turns out it is a 430i X Drive convertible. Shows what I know about them. If’n I could see any spark plugs, I would guess there are four under there.
Not. A 413, as previously posted.

LOL…
It is a 6 cyl.
The AWD in those things is actually pretty good. Enjoy the new toy!

A Beemer 4 series vert, a Dodge truck, and you live in Hippy Hollow. Who are you and what have you done with Mustang Steve?

BMW = Beat My Wallet (take Josh's advice) 🤑

Those straight 6 bmw's have a ton of torque and are pretty much fool proof. The turbo models on the other hand...

No shame in that! I bought fords in late 80s and early 90s with nothing but troubles. Went to GM from Mid 90s to 2005. I bought extended warranties on all of them and used it and more. AC compressors, Head Gaskets, Intake Gaskets, Wheel Bearings. After 100K it was on my dime. The Head gaskets were done X2 on my Vans and 2 of my Cars. Im driving KIA for my daily drivers now. There not a muscle car for sure but I get to work with no break downs and I get there safely. Id buy a Silverado, F150 and Mustang. That would be the only late model I would consider by Ford or GM.

FOUR cylinder twin turbo. About same hp and torque as 5.0 foxbody had.
Four series Steve...

dooooooohhhhh!!
Had to repair blown head gasket on my sister's BMW. 5 headbolts came out with the threads from the block. Neighbor came over to see who was swearing in German. Told her that BMW stood for Bavarian Manure Wagon. They are a nice car though especially when they're still under warranty!

STEVE!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can we ban you from here?

Since the 80’s BMW has had the series followed by displacement. I wonder why they made the decision to give up on that standard? Has to be a status thing...
I stand corrected in the engine. That would be a fun 4cyl to get from a wrecking yard and stuff in a 70’s BMW 2002.
How’s the car treating you?

We’ve hauled plenty of stuff in Sheryl’s 325. She picked up a truck lid and brought it home. It was a winter day and she had to have the top down. Glad it has seat warmers!! We also have a picture around here somewhere of bringing home the bamboo plants. They were about 8’ y’all. Got all kinds of looks on the way home. Bought 4 and had to make 2 trips.
