I bet you're great at parties.
Listen jpuffphatphuckpuffpuff, I wasn't complaining about EVs you moron. I've been a member of Bimmerpost for years. I posted something about moving from an ICE vehicle to an EV. I just bought one and was sharing my thoughts. I don't know WTF you think you are, but I don't need your condesending tone. If I want any lip from you, i'll jiggle my zipper, tough guy.

Such a snowflake. You get to post opinions and then throw a fit when people disagree. So don't post then, princess.

*Snip*
Anyway to end this rant... You've had a Tesla [...]
I disagree with the comparison to a Tesla.
I have an i4 M50 lowered on Eibach springs and it's definitely not a pig in corners. I can pull 1G on an off/on ramp with the 10" package and Pirelli summer tires. Recently did a couple of hot laps at Sears Point and definitely not a pig. It didn't plow and was quite fun.

No comparison to a Tesla.

Just to be clear I wasn't saying you can compare an i4 to a Tesla I was just saying all electric cars accelerate quick. That's exciting for a few weeks then you sorta get over it.
It's a great car but you have to enjoy it for what it is and if you want a fun light m3 that sounds good this will never be that. But great commuter and fantastic range/mileage and other than tires not a whole lot of maintenance to worry about so easy car to own

Yeah, it's not light, but it is amazingly fun in the hills. I've had mine at Sonoma Raceway for some hot laps. Very composed for a heavy car. Remember the center of gravity is very low. Lower than the M3. 1000lbs of battery bolted low.

I have the 20" wheel option and lowered on Eibach springs and 10mm spacers at each corner.
It makes for a great daily.
