Finally I ///M back

It's been awhile after a G80 comp and an G82 Xdrive then I just had to try two Alfa Quadrifoglio's. Kind of a mistake and to many issues with them. I just got a G87. I love the new Idrive 8 and missed the S58.

The clutch seems to grab all at once and shifter is very springy feeling. I just need to adjust to it I guess, its not progressive like my Type R.

Beautiful set, It will be interesting to track them and see which one is faster and which one is more fun.

I never track my cars but the Type R gives you such a connection and confidence to the road and you can just throw it in a corner like no car I have had before, it just sticks!

I will say I wish It had more power but it's probably at the limit for fwd. The shifter and clutch are so damn good. Sound is a bit boring. I keep it in sport sound because sport + sound is shrill and hurts my ears lol.

It's crazy the Type R costs more to insure than the M2!

I was thinking about that. I'm getting more use to it now. Shifter feels a bit less notchy also.
