Picked up in April and at 8000 miles!

I baby her, but no garage queen. Soon will have to put her to sleep for the winter…

CJ421 · 09-23-2021, 04:56 PM

I also drove mine more than I expected, I'm at about 4,000 so just over 1,000 a month, but yeah, that's going to slow down soon with winter approaching.
Looking forward to our Indian summer ...

No sleep for her down South. Get about 9 months of topless fun down here.

Low 60's in the AM and mid 80's in the PM. Humidity down to 60% too.

Fall is just starting here in Georgia. Today was clear and dry. It started in the high 50s and was in the mid 70s and sunny by the afternoon. Beautiful with the top down. I hit 1150 miles and called it good. I’ve just started going over 4500rpm in S+ mode and she’s a beast!

Same in comfort mode too. This car really wants to run.

Horseman · 09-24-2021, 07:39 PM

I’m sitting at just over 3000 miles myself.

Rotherd31 · 09-25-2021, 06:52 AM

Three weeks for me and just turned 1700 miles. Love the car and can't say that I miss the M550 at all! XPel PPF this Wednesday, then M-22 in northern Michigan later this week and in a couple more weeks we'll be doing our fall Smokies run. Making the most of our time before she goes into hibernation.

Aint that right. We had a low of 45F the other day. Slept with windows open and a light blanket on the bed. Is 64F now at 8:30 a.m. Been cruising a lot lately but not near as much as you guys. Have about 600 miles on the car, took delivery in April.

We're blessed, have a lot of cool backroads to cruise within 1/2 mile of us. Some of the weird wildlife we've witnessed on the roads or across a fence have been camels, ostrich, bighorn sheep, black panther, blackbuck antelope and of course the usual white tailed and axis deer, coons, fox, etc. The panther was actually laying around on a back road as we came around a curve. (Lower Crabapple Rd. out of Fredericksburg)

The red longhorn amongst the black angus was too cool.

FWIW signed up for the BMW Friday morning driving course Oct. 22.

Taking another back country road to dine out today, brunch. Those 90 mile trips really add up.
