Lost Account - Retrieved (finally) x5 M50d to M4 CS to X5 M60i

BigSanj · 03-30-2023, 02:06 PM

Evening all and greetings from London, so somewhere along the lines I lost access to my account and could never reset the password, today by some miracle I found the password in a password locker I have not used in an eternity!
Since I last posted God knows when (a good few years) I had to sadly get rid of my M50d (tyre shortage) (lack of courtesy cars) and finally a persistent 10 year old who convinced me to go into an Isle of Man Green M4 CS - this was last April. (Pics attached)
Everyone thinks I am crazy but I detest the M4 with a vengeance, give me an X5 any days.
Within a few months I tried to flip my M4 and get an X5 but could not find anything close to my old X5 M50d, so reluctantly have not done anything until last month when I managed to order my new x5 M60i lci - genuinely cannot wait!
Delivery 1st week of sept to get new plate. Otherwise could have had in July.
Gone for Dravit grey, full black merino leather, ultimate pack, blue calipers and the bi colour 22 rims!
Hope you have all been well - have enjoyed following posts and not enjoyed not being able to interact!

Welcome back! Congrats on the new car. M60i should be awesome.

What do you dislike about the M4?

BigSanj · 03-31-2023, 05:04 AM

Thank you, it’s just a preference I believe, I got the M4 on the persuasion of my son and historically owning a M3 thinking it would be fun again to own such a car, as I flipped my M50d I didn’t want to settle for a less powerful car (nothing else was around at the time at short notice)
In short, I don’t like the ride, I don’t like the seats, I despise the attention the car gets which is a lot more than I initially thought it would be (and I assumed the worst)

Fair enough. So nothing wrong with it per se, just not for you. I think I would be the same - I couldn't deal with a low sports car as a daily. It looks great though, definitely a head turner.

Just the wait for the M60i you've got to get through now!

Yes nothing wrong with the car at all, sorry should have elaborated just not a me car at all!

Indeed looking forward to the M60i, dealership are expecting one in imminently for the show room so looking forward to the test drive, then the inevitable weekly count down until delivery
