Every morning I merge on the highway and I’m at 90mph before I can even blink. Transmission is always lightning fast too. I do have the lighter RWD 330i and maybe some of these loaners have been running 87 octane. All this while averaging 37mpg!
Genuine question - Where/when are you guys using the extra power In day to day commuting ?

today I picked up 3 of my grandboys at school in the M40i. The boys are 4,8,10.....two oldest are gettin into cars. So I dropped the M40i into Super Sport mode and play with the gas pedal. The 6 cylinder is quick even in the X3, but the 330i is more than enough for any daily driving. As said, highway merge, 90mph will come real quick with the 4 banger.
