I agreed with all the points made in this.
I was looking for a more practical replacement for my e93. Daily driver in Wisconsin. I thought about a small crossover like a he Subaru for practically. Then, with the help from this forum, I stumbled upon the the e84. It is much more enjoyable than a crossover, but still practical. It never wavered in its first winter up north. She's tuned, xHP, and a throttle enhancement. I swapped out the 19" sport tires for some MPS a/s 18". While I mis the responsiveness, it makes my travels much more enjoyable.

Yes that’s a good site- unfortunately he hasn’t posted any updates to the project car since 2020.

Since there is no spare I carry a repair kit and cigarette lighter plug compressor, but I’m nearly always within range of AAA. I WILL NOT run run-flats. |

Not to turn this into a wheel thread but but, I have the 18" M wheels now. and I have the 19th staggered at the wheel shop getting refinished. I plan on doing exactly the same as what you are doing. one set of rims for Winter/off road And another set for summer/canyoning.

It's a great platform. Last ultimate driving machine... gave mine to my daughter. She still autocrosses it...JB4 and Alpina tune...MSport ultimate...
My daughter drove a new 5 series for 3 months while X1 was sidelined for airbag recall... she couldn't wait to get it back... |

I think he's wrong about the only the Msport package including the oil cooler. I have the sport package and have the oil cooler as well. I think Msport just included stiffer suspension that should be removed anyways and paddle shifters.

I think you're right about the oil cooler, it's standard on m-sport, but still an available option for non-m sport models (just not standard). I think I read somewhere that destination geography is a factor for the oil cooler - areas where it gets hot get oil cooler, cooler geographies don't? |
