I will say there is no way I'd buy that car new when used ones are available for around 40k.
I disagree- the steering in the 1M is MUCH lighter than the 335 (sans AS). I had a 335 loaner and the steering was brutal at parking lot speeds. The 1M is perfect - the 335is with AS is probably a bit overboosted but less of a drastic change when going from my X6 to the 335 (I don't really notice when switching from the X6 to the 1M)

I agree - that the 335is depreciates badly and I should consider a used one...

All - note I have an X6 as a daily driver. Make no mistake, it is an incredible truck, but it is a truck and not a car. Best darn driving truck out there, but still a truck.

Honestly, I probably have withdrawal - have not driven the 1M in 3 months and February is just depressing here in Chicago.

And yes, I can't explain how trading a $60K car for $60K car makes it OK to drive in bad weather. Like I said, I'm a ninny
