I miss the stick occasionally but as you said you get to concentrate on other things. Mrs. Rounderman can drive a stick and we are finally passed the Minivan stage (some really nice road vehicles) and we are finally a no stick family. different but definitely easier.

Great car, great pics, enjoy the ride

everyone stay safe, wash your hands don't touch your face (healthcare administration so I get bombarded with this every day)

Thanks! I hear you on the comfort element, 540i was in the running at one point but it skewed (even if just) too far to the luxury end for now. Definitely not ruled out another stick in the future, long as my left leg keeps working!
