Wow for a car that is over 4 years old and 37K miles..It's in immaculate condition, inside and out. Great pick up
Although I do like the Genesis, glad you went back to BMW!

TTribe,
I know you have been going thru some tough trials and tribulations but I hope everything has worked out and in the end you are happy..congrats on the e93 and best of luck with it...
I recommend three must do mods..
1. tint windows
2. front oem lip spoiler
3. Cobb Flash
Prior to my current M6 I had a z435is and the cobb tune made that car a beast...its done thru the obd port by the brake pedal and can be installed and uninstalled in minutes
If you plan on doing any suspension work...do coilovers and spacer and you will be all set
Best of luck boss!

Just a reminder that you (and not us) brought this issue to justify your move a few weeks ago, so be light on "accusations". We all knew that this was a pretext. Now let's move on.
A very heavy steering?! The E9X has one of the heaviest steerings and I love it this way, because it is also very self-centering and precise. It talks to you. The F30 has a much lighter steering that is not as much liked or communicative.
Yeap. Once you really enjoyed BMW cool-aid, it is somehow difficult to adopt cool-aid from the competition. It goes so much more beyond figures on paper.
Now with a Coupe and children, OP's next focus is likely to be the Pilot. Very soon.
The Gen rode very much like a previous generation Lexus LS in terms of suspension and handling. Interestingly enough, it had a VERY heavy steering wheel
See people always say that many buy BMW because of the badge. Its more to it than just that. You get emotionally attached to them even if its a simple daily driver.

The car is excellent. Took it for a morning drive on my own on Saturday morning and a good (therapeutic) time. Sunday, my 7 yr. old son made me put the top down for the drive home from church.

Wow, and here I thought I'd been keeping up with everything. Last I knew, you still had the M5! Congrats on getting the 335 'vert!
I can relate (as many others of course can too)to changes in personal situations requiring a downgrade in vehicles. My turnaround probably won't be nearly as quick, but hopefully I'll be able to do the same here in a couple years!

Very far from
Nah, 15psi is the sweet spot for the stock turbos. With catless dps and meth, 18psi is very reasonable midrange tapering down to 14 approaching redline.
I have 52k miles on the car and it's been tuned since 15k. Plenty of people are running the same psi on the turbos without issue.

I'd still be wary.. I've heard horror stories.
