So had the F33 a couple of months now and I really like it. Spent a few quid on exterior 'enhancements' and had a BMW MPPSK (M Performance Power & Sound Kit) fitted last week. Now up to 360bhp and 550Nm but it now sounds (to me) the business.

It is like a big Z4, but so much easier to drive and the suspension is like a 'normal' car. I have the adaptive dampers but in sport mode they are really comfy.
Here are a few pics for anyone who cares:

TBH mate it is a bit of a barge, you can definitely feel it weighs nearly 2 tonnes. The E89 is no lightweight, but feels it, comparatively. I was driving our other car (Mazda 3) the other day and it feels so much more nimble than either of the BM lard-arses; doesn't go as well admittedly but is more 'fun' on a back road.
