New to me 2018 F80 6-Spd Comp

Hey all,
Exactly one week with my 2018 F80 6-Speed Competition. Picked her up with only 6,000 miles on it. Having fun being back in a manual after driving slush boxes for so many years. Been around the block with many cars and coming back to BMW since my old days with a 320i and a handful of years back with an X5 4.4i
So far still learning the ins/outs of this platform but great car so far.
Few observations so far:
  1. Manual transmission good...but a little loose/rubbery
  2. Efficient throttle map confused me at first because the car felt "slow"
  3. Many options/customizations of iDrive!!! Need to RTFM
  4. Car handles great
  5. Seats have been great for short hauls so far.

Anyway..just saying hello and kicking off my journey.
Here is a quick snap of the car

Look into Autosolutions SSK by Ronald

There will be a wait time, but it's worth it for the shifting experience.

Gorgeous, welcome. I can't believe it only has 6000 miles! Even during COVID that's real low. Congrats!
