Fun experience, but went back to a manual transmission in less than 6 months.

22 m240i xdrive: Miss the mpg & loved the color.
I regret getting rid of this car, the M2 doesn’t seem to satisfy me .I thought it would be 10x better than the m240i , maybe because it’s an Automatic + White ?

X5 was fun, but the gas mileage was so poor that I had to sell it. M54 and 5l40e...

Dang your old car looks awesome IMO that previous gen of M2 is still the only real and worthy successor to the E9X M3. If I ever have to replace mine your old car is what I'd buy.

I really did love it. I just love my IS500 a bit more (plus it's A LOT more comfortable!).

, Not sure if I really had any battery issues. I did replace both original batteries, I think in 2023 or 2024, which was quite expensive, but I got eight or nine years out of the original. Were battery issues common with this vehicle?

That's good to here. My wife's similar vintage F15 X5 [manufactured in May 2015] got 7 years out of the OEM AGM original battery and the Pre-Cat warm-up battery, before sudden failure of the main battery and we got only 3 years out of an after-market replacement AGM main battery -> which also failed suddenly, but did not leave is stranded. We just replaced that after-market main battery with a new OEM AGM battery from the BMW Dealer. I have yet to have the alternator checked, or do a parasitic drain test, BUT the BMW Dealer didn't mention anything. Glad your experience sounds better than mine...

A bit of a change to the G42 M240i. The odd thing is not feeling I need to keep tinkering with things, exhaust, alloys etc!

Still playing with the idea of the Ilumo deal kit though!
