The short answer is that it's the best car I've ever owned and overall, the best purchase I've ever made. The novelty of instant acceleration was expressed very obnoxiously at red lights in the first month of ownership but in the long run, was something I came to really appreciate for day-to-day driving. That and the near-flawless traction that the Tesla has gives one confidence in the car's handling and overall safety that is hard to find in ICE cars. That being said, I had an E36 M3 20+ years ago and multiple N54/N55 and a B58 3-series cars between 2008 and 2018... so my heart really lies with BMW.
I test drove the i4 M50 but it's a boat and doesn't excite me at all. I'm excited for what BMW will do with future EVs and will 100% buy one from the Neue Klasse generation, but I will likely keep this M2 "forever".
