You hit a note on the connected drive thing with me too. I love my 35i to death anyway. I could probably sell it for the same as I bought it for in 2018 but then what to you do? The car market is insane.

I wouldn't have replaced the thermostat. I didn't when my pump shi* the bed. Maybe I got lucky. If it was under warranty, different story. I did the pump myself, in the garage on ramps/jack stands, it's a giant pain in the ass. I don't want to do it again, unless I have a lift.
The car market is insane. And I'm not sure what I would replace it with. There's not a lot of 300hp vehicles in that size. But I also don't want to spend $8000 on a car just to keep driving it, you know?
The Msport is a really nice car, I might feel differently if mine were an Msport. Or if I had the red Coral seats. :,)
The connected drive thing, I really hope it turns into another Class Action Lawsuit. BMW as a company literally gave the finger to probably 100,000 customers.
