By the time I had my daughter I was zooming around in a 2005 M3 for almost 15 years and had my 2015 M4 for almost 3 years so the adjustment was a big one.

At first, I thought about going for the Alfa QV but the combo of reliability issues and the auto transmission killed that (drives, looks, and sounds amazing btw). Then I got set on the Hellcat until i test drove one. The main issue I ran into (besides the blah interior) was that it didn't seem that fast to me. I mean, it was fast but just not really life changing because I had been used to a BPM Sport Stage 2 F82 by that point. So once speed was out of the equation all that was left was that it was a 4-door - for that factor, almost every other car opened up as an option. And so…..

TL;DR - kids and the Hellcat are the reason I have a E34 540i.
i went from the hellcat to a civic type r

it is actually a lot of fun as the driver

but even my daughter said "this car sounds and feels cheap" when compared to the hellcat

so far big thumbs up for the bmw interior when she compares it to the last two cars 😂 (even as she has to crawl back in the m4)
