Do you miss the interaction of driving a sports cars vs. the uber powerful but less connected X6M? At least on yours they fixed the silly paddle shifter issue.
I do for 20% of the time, being weekend fun, but the other 85% is DD and the X6M rocks for this. It's surprisingly nimble and resposive for such a big car. I reckon once I've fitted the H & R susension and Akrapovic and cat less Dps it will be even better.

The box with DCT paddles feels very similar to a big E90 I suppose but the difference being the 4WD which sticks like glue even smashing through corners with your foot mashed. I suppose I miss the drifting capabilities of the SC M3, which is why I want to build another one for weekend fun.
