My sense was they’d be total scratch magnets. I did not spec black shiny trim in the interior either. I went for the mesh, which in my view is in itself a big improvement over the tetragon. Rear legroom - I don’t need the rear legroom regularly but I was nervous in the M240 that it was too much of a pinch. That said, I love the slightly stripped back, lighter thing going on in this, which manifests itself as slightly better performance. Not a fan of the Brooklyn myself nor the rear spoiler thing (for me), but this car does have a slightly younger vibe than the 4 and I think it suits. Totally agree with your thoughts on the thundernyte. It does look cool - today. Will it be in future? Is it a more fashionable choice that gets old? - time will tell, but that’s a subjective personal view obviously and I’m sure there will be future buyers who want purple. Nice car, nice video.

does the M440 have the auto start/stop button? |
Yes it does. I have heard this can be coded to stay on all the time from bimmer code, but not sure.
I just make a habit of clicking sport mode every time I start my car as sport and sport plus don't activate that feature and the engine stays on all the time.
