Good to hear! I guess I don't really get out out and about too much these days having moved to work from home. Approaching 12 months and only have just over 6k miles.
I need to get out more.

I saw a used Alpine White M240 on the lot at Ken Garff Hyundai last summer. Before that, I hadn't seen one in the wild. I still have only seen one Portimao Blue that's here in the Eagle Mountain area. I'm going to guess there are less than ten M240s in northern Utah.

Are there any BMW meets or cars n coffees around here? I'm originally from Chicagoland, so still getting a vibe for the car scene in Utah. Seems that Bluffdale's very own Stradman owns every brand but BMW, on the luxury scale.

EDIT: Seems Stradman now has an E36 M3 Lightweight. Of course he does!

Same here. At this point, I think my wife has put on half the miles. I'm 4 months in and don't even have 1,700 miles on the clock yet.

Don't worry about it...we've had, and continue to have, a big winter. Once we get warmer, less snowy weather here then give it a good detail and enjoy in good health!

I actually saw a 230i (non M-Sport) on my way home last night. Unlike mine (also non M-Sport), their rocker panels were body color.

I thought I'd get over it but seeing theirs with correctly painted rocker panels made me low-key pissed again lol.

Saw a white 230i and a black M4 CSL at the detail shop when I picked up my car today.

Gotta be honest the M4 CSL kinda stole the thunder from seeing another G42 😅

Still haven’t seen a single G42 but saw an XM today. Why would anyone buy this car? There are so many better and cheaper options!

If anyone is in the North Fulton area of Atlanta then you may see my PBM G42 or a MW F23 roaming the streets. These cars are just too much fun!

Saw a Brooklyn gray M240i on Nicholls road here on Long Island heading northbound this morning. Anyone here? I was heading southbound in my blue M240i.

I am in the area duluth/johns creek mostly though. I have only ever seen a TNM 230 driving around in the wild, otherwise there are a few guys who work at united in Alpharetta with a couple 230s and a 240 I believe.

The "no cap" thing is just about the dumbest saying I had heard in awhile...and I'm not even that old (30s). Gen Z needs some help. There was a literal TikTok challenge about "write your name without lifting the pen off the paper." Did no one teach these poor souls about cursive?
