G87 is my daily driver. I think it's great. I really like idrive 8 and the wide display, personally.
My only real dings are lack of dynamic cruise, and that normal cruise kicks you out of Sport mode. I test drove carbon buckets and found them uncomfortable because I drive MT. The center bolster suuuuucks if you are driving stick. I love the normal sports seats. |

One thing I don’t think anyone called out which happened to my kids in my old F87OG. My kids who were 4 and 7 complained about getting car sick. I think sitting low in the back with a very small side window, with a bouncy ride led to my kids feeling car sick on longer rides.

I have a large plastic cup in my backseat for my youngest (8 years old) in case he gets car sick. He has mentioned feeling a little car sick riding in the back.

I went to look at a voodoo blue g80 today and a M2 was parked next to it in the showroom.
I love the g80 arches but voodoo blue doesn’t show them off as good other colours and the m2 arches looked mental in comparison. Has anyone used one of these as a daily through winter in colder states or the U.K.? F80 would genuinely scare the shit outta me in really cold, wet weather now n then. |

Yep, "Sport Mode" IS the display stuff in BMW's own weird jargon. The performance stuff (damping, brakes, etc.) is called "settings." No idea why. As an example, you can't display the tachometer on the HUD (a feature of Sport Mode) while using cruise control. |

Weird situation in the U.K. atm. New cars are cheaper than used due to discounts and 4.9% on new cars and 10.9% on used. I was hoping they might move on price a lil bit as I don’t need finance. See what they say tomorrow. |

Yes they could do more, including an extra overdrive ratio (e.g., 0.58:1 per my mechanical engineer calculations) and should also be equipping these cars with a dual (port and direct, such as Toyota's outstanding D-4S) fuel injection system even though they don't. But if they did they'd charged more money, which I'd gladly pay but others may not. Related link here: https://www.tomorrowstechnician.com/...-why-not-both/ |

I put on 300 miles in the last week in a manual with carbons. Zero issues and can already tell I’m going to be glad I got them. On top of that, it is 1 week after a vesectomy. If you’re on the fence, test drive a car with them or rent one on Turo. Source: 6”1” 180lb neutered male.

I drove the same 250 mi trip every weekend in my 330e with standard cruise and could basically control the vehicle with the cancel/resume buttons and the speed dial. Can't really do that with the Active Cruise. |
