Yes this is so true. Car engine is noisy here and there. Sometimes sounds clunky at cold starts. Doesn't idle like a Lexus. But shit, it drives like a champ. And as long as it continues to rev and shift, I won't stress and listen for that crap anymore.

I spent the first 10k miles stressing about sounds and noises that I couldn't even enjoy the car. Then it made me even question the reliability of the brand and M division itself...so looking back, I ask myself, has the car ever not started when I pushed the start button? Or not perform or delivery power when I wanted it?

The answer is No. My car has been great and extremely reliable. Don't stress man, just drive the piss out of it and have fun
