Thanks for the welcome!

I think I've realised having a very different cars makes more sense than having 2 with N52 engines.

Ran an si for three years and have had my M for three. I have every cost logged for both and the M has been about 40% more expensive to own for an annual mileage of 4-5k.

Have you driven one? They are very different.

Just realised you’re running KW V3s, are you running spacers in addition?

Thanks - that's exactly the sort of insight I was hoping for.

40% should be do-able if I downgrade the daily. Looks like it's time for a test drive.

Yep. Needs somewhere between 5 and 10mm to clear the front springs, but I have 10mm on to clear the brakes.
