I always felt like I was the only one that really liked how that year of X6 looked. I don't usually like how crossovers look, but this was the only one I thought looked good.
It does look good... the camera and the condition of this one Tyler found doesn't do it any justice. You have to see it in person to appreciate it more
looks wise, it is still at least top 3 best looking out of all SUVs/truck/crossovers ever created. And over all a beautiful design. A little impractical perhaps, but so is a 2-door coupe.
@@skkeyboardwarrior600 yeah I mean completely trashing the car while not having a single positive thing to say was kinda cringe. This is easily one of Bmw's most not "ugliest" car when you've got that god awful 7 and 6 series from the Chris Bangle Era.
This car is absolutely beautiful I also think it’s one of the best designs for suv looks sporty and has more space then a two door.. he bought an absolutely clapped out x6 m that was clearly abused and not taken care of… I absolutely felt in love with a 2013 Pearl white x6 m with carbon fiber ascents absolutely gorgeous car, this video makes me angry even tho I like this Chanel 🤦🏽♂️💯

This is the reason I came to Hoovies channel in the first place. I love to see him buying fast, interesting cars that need lots of TLC to bring them back to life.
Same. The videos had a charm to them and I couldn't wait to see an update on those cars whenever they got some cool mods like when he put a V8 in a 911 lol
But another reason I like Hoovie is because he has access to reputable mechanics who can actually FIX these disasters and almost always he does finish them and either keeps them for a while or sells them. Some UA-camrs frustrate me in the way they do their rebuilds on their nightmare projects. Some of them never get done and some of them take on projects that are just too stupid or too ridiculous to finish. I won't mention the name of a UA-camr (starts with T), who paid almost $600,000 for a disaster project car which will just be a money pit.
The trunk opening can be adjusted through the screen, and my father has the same vehicle, the M, with 555 hp and it runs super well and is quite reliable if you take care of it and maintain it well.
The most valuable part on that car is probably the headlights. Those are the rare LED optioned headlights offered only in 13' (have them on my 13' X5M) on the E70 and E71 chasis, and they are pretty rare. You could probably part those out and make most of the money back on the wholesale purchase 😆

Hope all is well and things get better. You got me through a few months being trapped in my apartment with a broken leg from a bad car accident while on duty…. We all might not know ya personally but I feel like we all got your back Tyler! Good vibes coming your way
Tbh as a German I can confirm that BMWs are actually reliable and great vehicles. Sure there are some engines that are not performing well but however…I would consider the X6 with a Diesel as solid. Please keep in mind how easy it is to maintain those E-Series cars. Most parts are used on 6er, 5er or even 7er cars and most parts and repairs are the same. You can even look them up on the net.
Much love for ya hoovie. You have been an inspiration on my life and many others. Never forget that! I’m now 24 and own 4 hooptie trucks of my own in Northwest Arkansas, all because of you and your amazing videos! Keep your head high, you’ll bounce back🤝💪🏻
I was with him until I found out he cheated on his wife with multiple men and even had intercourse with a dog during a gay orgy. Now, I am against him.
My dad has had a new BMW every year since 2000 and he never had a car for more than a year. He got a 2019 BMW X6 in late 2018 and he still has it in 2023. It’s really practical and reliable for us but to be fair it isn’t the M.
For someone who watched him for so long, in this video we can see him shifting his personality. Something is off from just watching the video. I hope you’re okay Hoovie, this is one of my favourite channels of all time.
Tailgate height is adjustable, just to let you know. You’ve missed each of the shinning point so everything looks stupid and disgusting. Btw, I own one of the 2013 model for 10 years and 105,000 kms. Nothing fell apart from it.
Probably mentioned by someone else in the comments but the hatch should open much higher. Check the tailgate setting in the iDrive Settings. I actually had one of these a few years ago in the 3.0D and it wasn’t a bad car. Drive nicely and still looked quite new on the road. The whole car is plastic though which isn’t ideal! Can’t believe people paid over $100k for these when new in Australia 😅
Its a great car and very durable if maintained correctly. Kinda sad how the engeenering was blamed in this vid instead of the obvious mishandling from the previous owner.
Yes, he needs to adjust settings in iDrive. The current setting is set to low that way you can open the trunk in your garage without hitting anything hanging from the ceiling
@@kenlaw04 yep, buys broken bmws and complains why their always broken…🤔 it’s almost as if his intention is to purchase the most broken rundown cars. Clearly his z8 is just fine… and that’s a bmw!
I must be the weirdo because if u can get it running properly, air suspension fixed, new paint and/or wrap, I would love to own this BMW! In my simple opinion, I think this car is way better than most of the other cars in the fleet!
Hoovie, I've greatly enjoyed your series, and you're one of the best UA-camrs out there. From somebody once walked away from a business during a difficult personal time to another; don't turn your back on what you're good at. Use this time to recharge and think about the next big thing when you're ready.
I liked (and still do) like the X6M outer styling... It's the underpinnings that BMW got totally wrong. Like most of the car manufactures in this league (when new), they throw everything at / in the car, the owners get gooey over them initially, then after a few thousand miles understand where they went wrong as a purchaser and lost money in their investment! Interesting to see if Hoovie can make this a workable car again?
I’m watching this video in my hotel room and pause to go downstairs to pick up a delivery. Come off the elevator and who do I see? Hoovie! How cool. Thanks for being cool and shaking my hand Tyler. I’ve watched everything from the start.
I had a 2013 x5 and it was a great car in 3 years and 60k miles I did routine maintenance valve cover gasket, plugs, brakes, and oil cooler, and filter housing gaskets. Flipped it in a bad rainstorm when someone came in my lane and hit a puddle hydroplaned and climbed out thru the panoramic sunroof with a couple scratches on my hands
@Atomic Frijole oh hell no. I have not gave up on life buying a Toyota is like buying a mini van you admit your wife has your balls in a jar on top of the fridge. Our home is all Audi and Porsche currently
Hoovie, said it before but i'll say it again. You're a really genuine fella, and that kindness shows/comes through on your videos. I'm a long long way from Wichita Kansas (In Geelong, Australia to be precise) but If I was in Kansas and bumped into you, I'd buy you a beer. Keep on keeping on man, I've watched all your videos and I've learnt so much from them. All the best mate.
My dad bought bmw x6 30d in 2013. And its the most reliable car he ever had in his life 185k km without any problem and car lives on and on to this day. And yes this is one of the best looking bmw's ive ever seen.
Hoovie, You’ve been a positive for me throughout Covid… throughout me finding out how much I can’t handle the world being out of sorts. I hope only the best for you and all that you’re going through.
This is absolutely what I’d expect for a wholesale dealer auction in Houston. This is a car I’ve always found oddly compelling in how damn awkward it is. I’m glad to see some quality hooptie content!
You can adjust how high up the hatch goes when it's open in the onboard Infotainment. It's set pretty low in your video. Used to own an X6 50i. Got a bunch of videos on it on my channel. This example was INTENSELY neglected. That or, the odometer was digitally rolled back at some point. I had 65K miles on my X6 when I sold it and it was cherry.
If someone really understands bmw's, they know to buy a good example and do preventative maintenance, then it is really not a bad experience. I drove several to very high miles (one to more then 400k) really with not that many issues. It is important to buy a good example and to know what the attention points are so you can prevent it before it gets expensive. I still love them.
Precisely. I've owned a long series of M cars and have had minimal trouble with them beyond the typical repairs one would expect for vehicles of their age. With the exception of a few high-profile design failures (VANOS!) a *well-kept* BMW can be pretty reliable. They get a really bad rap because a lot of people "stretch" to buy their bimmer, but simply can't afford the (admittedly not cheap) care and maintenance that's needed to keep it in top form. Get one that's been cared for, you're as likely to be OK as any other cared-for car. Get one that's been abused, and, well, there's that saying: "There is nothing more expensive than a cheap German car."
Also it helps if you’re in Europe not the US, the German built cars are way more reliable than the US built ones which is why Europe if full of very high mileage BMWs because they don’t disintegrate after normal use
I owned one of these for a year and sold it at 117k miles lol, actually miss it a lot and never had any issues for the 25k miles! X6M was best described as the awd M5 at the time with the different center of gravity than the x5!
I remember building these when they first came out. Installed the front left door, emblems, adjusted spoiler, etc. Many were on their way to China. The red interiors on the blue paint was always neat. No idea how they ever costs that kind of $$$. I think the main issue is that you bought the most worn out X6M in the world.
I live like 25 mins from the BMW facility in South Carolina, actually have a friend that works for BMW. He has told me some horror stories of the products coming out. I’d never, in my life, own one.
it never hit me until now, but somehow hoovie has amassed an actually incredible collection of cars over the past couple years 😂 i mean looking in the background you’ve got a Z8, merci, SLR, the c8 z06, the 911 up on the lift and tons others.
I seriously wonder how you can wreck a car like this within 10 years and 71000 miles. I mean, it's not a cheap car just for the purpose, it was the top of the line X6 in its day!
Your detailer will have a field day with this one if you take it to him. *Also, I hope you're doing all right whatever it is you're going through. Stay strong, you have an audience here that'll root for you no matter what. 🤲🏼
Yes. The state of this BMW might be suitable metaphor for Tyler’s current 15:29 private anguish. If anyone watches Barrett Jackson - April Rose might be a suitable amour for him? EWOP TH. Everything Works Out Perfectly!
Not at all, anyone thinking this car looks ugly is just stupid and should stop telling people what they think about cars looks. Not saying its a good car to own, but its beautiful.
I actually like the way it looks! It needs some TLC for sure. I'm 5'6", so it is the perfect height for someone like me. The sloped roof line looks appealing to me! Good job, Hoovie! Love this video and the car!!! 😊
Extremely good looking vehicle, especially in red. Practical, who cares, it looks cool. Just like the grilles on newer models...they all look great, yet seem to be polarizing to many.
Hoovie I hope you’re doing okay brother. You deserve better. Your hard work made her a millionaire and she wants to cash out. If it was me i would sell everything and burn the money and give her half of the ashes.
Do you have any evidence to suggest that he's getting divorced? No. Just because he's not wearing a wedding ring does not mean he's getting a divorce, maybe it doesn't fit anymore, maybe he just stopped wearing it. Don't be jumping to conclusions.
Hoovie you likely won’t see this but, keep your head up man. Take this on the chin & come back stronger, you’re the man and I know you will probably use this as fuel. Enjoy your time with your kids, and keep that intelligent mind of yours working on, the comeback will be epic. Love you buddy, you’re a genuinely great guy and one of my favorite channels for years.
Apart from the condition of this example I actually like it. Appropriate status car to show off a particular message (kind of "bad PR is still a PR"), like a Continental, G-Class etc.
I had the 50i of this car and it was my last BMW after having like 10 straight. Been 10 years since I owned a BMW. Btw the hatch does open higher,you have to set it to the point you want it to open to in your idrive settings. It was a beast of a SAV and I thought it looked cool,like nothing on the road at the time and the twin turbo 4.4 V8 in that thing was amazing when it worked but it barely did.
50i had starter problems and everything but thank god it was covered by warranty and I got rid of it, last BMW I bought also but I still have my E38 740i with only 17k miles.
Hate is unjustified. It looks great and muscly, the engine is great (if taken care of), the dynamics were definitely the best of and SUV/SUV Coupe released in that time. There are many, many way worse cars
I personally like the x6 in particular that year and body style, it reminds me of the Acura ZDX. I own an 2018 x5 but something in me prefer the looks/size of x6
Tyler, I am subscriber since Apollo 911, I am with you man, I am so impressed that even with things hapenning in the background you keep on rolling, still true to your hooptie love. Hang in there, after storm the sun always come up.
Hey Hoovie, I appreciate the upload and hope you’re doing well! I l’m in the minority on this I’m sure but I actually enjoyed the look of this car (mainly from the front) While it’s by no means my favorite design (that would be the M3 E46) I did enjoy the different type of design and power all be it at the loss in practicality. Maybe it’s because I’ve been a BMW fanboy since birth and the most recent release of BMW’s has pushed me away more than ever but I have a greater appreciation for not so loved 08-15 BMW models
I think once the car ninja tells him how much to fix it he should take it to the wizards and do a skit of the wizard telling him to run and blasting the BMW with a shotgun 😂

They were actually quite fun to drive and toss around on back roads while in full attack M mode. Add a tune and it was actually pretty quick for that era

The way Hoovie works the BMW gear shifter is hilarious 😂😂😂
Indeed, I think he was doing that to emphasize how little power the engine has. However, it does have flappy paddles, why not use those?
I agree..
Hope all is well and things get better. You got me through a few months being trapped in my apartment with a broken leg from a bad car accident while on duty…. We all might not know ya personally but I feel like we all got your back Tyler! Good vibes coming your way
Stay strong, Hoovie! Whatever you’re going through, you got this!

Why what’s up with him
@@TBATTIECYCLING Divorce
Tbh as a German I can confirm that BMWs are actually reliable and great vehicles. Sure there are some engines that are not performing well but however…I would consider the X6 with a Diesel as solid. Please keep in mind how easy it is to maintain those E-Series cars. Most parts are used on 6er, 5er or even 7er cars and most parts and repairs are the same. You can even look them up on the net.
My neighbor has one and loves it. It's been keeping property values down for years.
Much love for ya hoovie. You have been an inspiration on my life and many others. Never forget that! I’m now 24 and own 4 hooptie trucks of my own in Northwest Arkansas, all because of you and your amazing videos! Keep your head high, you’ll bounce back🤝💪🏻
Please buy a 1972 Cadillac coupe DeVille and daily drive it

@@nickb.6726 people think he’s going through a divorce because he hasn’t worn his wedding ring for a while…
@@SonikDethmonkey yikes!! Feel for him…Did not know. Poor guy
I was with him until I found out he cheated on his wife with multiple men and even had intercourse with a dog during a gay orgy. Now, I am against him.
My dad has had a new BMW every year since 2000 and he never had a car for more than a year. He got a 2019 BMW X6 in late 2018 and he still has it in 2023. It’s really practical and reliable for us but to be fair it isn’t the M.
I really like the looks of first X6. Not every car have to be practical.
Likewise. Guess it's just a few of us that like the design
I think it looks fine, hoovie is over exaggerating about the back seat head space, he looked like he fit fine for being 6’2
its fugly
I love how it looks
@@lordnermal4361also, do BMW headrests not adjust?
Tyler beating on that shifter like it owes him ALOT of money 😂
For someone who watched him for so long, in this video we can see him shifting his personality. Something is off from just watching the video. I hope you’re okay Hoovie, this is one of my favourite channels of all time.
Tailgate height is adjustable, just to let you know. You’ve missed each of the shinning point so everything looks stupid and disgusting. Btw, I own one of the 2013 model for 10 years and 105,000 kms. Nothing fell apart from it.
Probably mentioned by someone else in the comments but the hatch should open much higher. Check the tailgate setting in the iDrive Settings.
I actually had one of these a few years ago in the 3.0D and it wasn’t a bad car. Drive nicely and still looked quite new on the road. The whole car is plastic though which isn’t ideal! Can’t believe people paid over $100k for these when new in Australia 😅
Yea I was going to comment. You can set the max opening height. So he just doesnt know about it
Its a great car and very durable if maintained correctly. Kinda sad how the engeenering was blamed in this vid instead of the obvious mishandling from the previous owner.
Yes, he needs to adjust settings in iDrive. The current setting is set to low that way you can open the trunk in your garage without hitting anything hanging from the ceiling
Hoovie: BMW are always broken
Also Hoovie: daily drives Land Rover and Maserati suv
And also buys bimmers that are already dogged and broken lol

Gee, wonder why no recent maintenance has been done on my purchase?
Always looked good to me. Thid video proved its a timeless classic.
I must be the weirdo because if u can get it running properly, air suspension fixed, new paint and/or wrap, I would love to own this BMW! In my simple opinion, I think this car is way better than most of the other cars in the fleet!
You really need help if you think that, sorry.
I agree
Hoovie, I've greatly enjoyed your series, and you're one of the best UA-camrs out there. From somebody once walked away from a business during a difficult personal time to another; don't turn your back on what you're good at. Use this time to recharge and think about the next big thing when you're ready.
I liked (and still do) like the X6M outer styling... It's the underpinnings that BMW got totally wrong. Like most of the car manufactures in this league (when new), they throw everything at / in the car, the owners get gooey over them initially, then after a few thousand miles understand where they went wrong as a purchaser and lost money in their investment! Interesting to see if Hoovie can make this a workable car again?
I’m watching this video in my hotel room and pause to go downstairs to pick up a delivery. Come off the elevator and who do I see? Hoovie! How cool. Thanks for being cool and shaking my hand Tyler. I’ve watched everything from the start.
Sorry to hear about everything happening. Love you Tyler and I’m glad to see you’re still chugging along.
Hoovie has single-handedly cured me of my desire to own a BMW.
There are great BMW's and there are bad owners.
I had a 2013 x5 and it was a great car in 3 years and 60k miles I did routine maintenance valve cover gasket, plugs, brakes, and oil cooler, and filter housing gaskets. Flipped it in a bad rainstorm when someone came in my lane and hit a puddle hydroplaned and climbed out thru the panoramic sunroof with a couple scratches on my hands
And Hoovie convinced me to buy Toyotas.
@Atomic Frijole oh hell no. I have not gave up on life buying a Toyota is like buying a mini van you admit your wife has your balls in a jar on top of the fridge. Our home is all Audi and Porsche currently
@@mcplutt 🤣
Happy to see Hoovie buying hoopties again!
I think you can raise the level of the rear hatch in I-drive. They have the setting so you can open it in a low garage.
Purchases like this are the reason I watch Hoovie's garage.
Both the Car Wizard and the Car Ninja give this video a big thumbs up!
Hoovie, said it before but i'll say it again. You're a really genuine fella, and that kindness shows/comes through on your videos. I'm a long long way from Wichita Kansas (In Geelong, Australia to be precise) but If I was in Kansas and bumped into you, I'd buy you a beer. Keep on keeping on man, I've watched all your videos and I've learnt so much from them. All the best mate.
My dad bought bmw x6 30d in 2013. And its the most reliable car he ever had in his life 185k km without any problem and car lives on and on to this day. And yes this is one of the best looking bmw's ive ever seen.
Hoovie,
You’ve been a positive for me throughout Covid… throughout me finding out how much I can’t handle the world being out of sorts. I hope only the best for you and all that you’re going through.
What's covid?
@@mharry860 🤡🤡
The irony of these "fast back suvs" is if you just shrunk them down by like 20% it would just be a hatchback and everyone would love them.
The shrunk down version is the X4, and people don't seem to love that either 😂
Idk about usa but in europe this is hottest car
2013 with 71k miles, in my world that's almost brand new
This is absolutely what I’d expect for a wholesale dealer auction in Houston. This is a car I’ve always found oddly compelling in how damn awkward it is. I’m glad to see some quality hooptie content!
You can adjust how high up the hatch goes when it's open in the onboard Infotainment. It's set pretty low in your video. Used to own an X6 50i. Got a bunch of videos on it on my channel. This example was INTENSELY neglected. That or, the odometer was digitally rolled back at some point. I had 65K miles on my X6 when I sold it and it was cherry.
This compared to modern bmws is a timeless classic
If someone really understands bmw's, they know to buy a good example and do preventative maintenance, then it is really not a bad experience. I drove several to very high miles (one to more then 400k) really with not that many issues. It is important to buy a good example and to know what the attention points are so you can prevent it before it gets expensive. I still love them.
Precisely. I've owned a long series of M cars and have had minimal trouble with them beyond the typical repairs one would expect for vehicles of their age. With the exception of a few high-profile design failures (VANOS!) a *well-kept* BMW can be pretty reliable. They get a really bad rap because a lot of people "stretch" to buy their bimmer, but simply can't afford the (admittedly not cheap) care and maintenance that's needed to keep it in top form. Get one that's been cared for, you're as likely to be OK as any other cared-for car. Get one that's been abused, and, well, there's that saying: "There is nothing more expensive than a cheap German car."
@@robjones3818 absolutely! I have had several 80' and 90's and they have been great with normal maintenance
Also it helps if you’re in Europe not the US, the German built cars are way more reliable than the US built ones which is why Europe if full of very high mileage BMWs because they don’t disintegrate after normal use
I owned one of these for a year and sold it at 117k miles lol, actually miss it a lot and never had any issues for the 25k miles! X6M was best described as the awd M5 at the time with the different center of gravity than the x5!
Curious why you sold it? Were there any maintenance issues you personally had?
Hello Hoovie, I rarely comment but I hope everything is going great to you!
Be strong.
" I rarely comment " has 436 comments on this channel lol... i do agree with you.
@@Jens_Roadster 😂😂😂
I remember building these when they first came out. Installed the front left door, emblems, adjusted spoiler, etc. Many were on their way to China. The red interiors on the blue paint was always neat. No idea how they ever costs that kind of $$$.
I think the main issue is that you bought the most worn out X6M in the world.
In Germany you built these? Also don't all M's come with a Carbon Fiber roof?
@@dzgaming1 They are built in the US.
These cars came with problems without leaving the assembly line
@@dzgaming1 No, X5 and X6 were built in SC USA. I don't remember a CF roof, but I was there in ~2009/10.
I live like 25 mins from the BMW facility in South Carolina, actually have a friend that works for BMW. He has told me some horror stories of the products coming out. I’d never, in my life, own one.
I like the styling of the X6 - Lift it and put offroad tires on it and it becomes a Rallye-FIghter-ish daily driver.
it never hit me until now, but somehow hoovie has amassed an actually incredible collection of cars over the past couple years 😂 i mean looking in the background you’ve got a Z8, merci, SLR, the c8 z06, the 911 up on the lift and tons others.
I instantly fell in love with this suv when it first came out lol The proportions are all there
Now these are the hoopties we love to see
Much love Tyler, I hope everything gets better. I must say that generation X6M was definitely horrifying!!! 😂
I seriously wonder how you can wreck a car like this within 10 years and 71000 miles.
I mean, it's not a cheap car just for the purpose, it was the top of the line X6 in its day!
Your detailer will have a field day with this one if you take it to him.
*Also, I hope you're doing all right whatever it is you're going through. Stay strong, you have an audience here that'll root for you no matter what. 🤲🏼
Love ya man! It's going to be alright eventually, just know that you have so many people that care about you and appreciate what you do for us.
I'm glad Hoovie has found a vehicle to take out his frustration on lol
Yes. The state of this BMW might be suitable metaphor for Tyler’s current 15:29 private anguish. If anyone watches Barrett Jackson - April Rose might be a suitable amour for him? EWOP TH. Everything Works Out Perfectly!
Hate that Bmw ruined the M series vehicles. Almost everything that comes off the line has a M badge nowadays.
good luck with whatever you're dealing with hoovie!
Hope things get better for you Tyler.
Is it bad that I think they look pretty awesome?😂
yes
Not at all, anyone thinking this car looks ugly is just stupid and should stop telling people what they think about cars looks. Not saying its a good car to own, but its beautiful.

I actually like the way it looks! It needs some TLC for sure. I'm 5'6", so it is the perfect height for someone like me. The sloped roof line looks appealing to me! Good job, Hoovie! Love this video and the car!!! 😊
I actually like these things! And the //M look sick when they’re taken care of

I would never buy one, but they're not ugly.
We love you Hoovie. Stay strong 💪
Hoovie: The X6 is the ugliest BMW ever.

Extremely good looking vehicle, especially in red. Practical, who cares, it looks cool.

That car still looks beautiful even nowadays and was very ahead of its time even with all its quirks
Apart from the condition of this example I actually like it. Appropriate status car to show off a particular message (kind of "bad PR is still a PR"), like a Continental, G-Class etc.
I had the 50i of this car and it was my last BMW after having like 10 straight. Been 10 years since I owned a BMW. Btw the hatch does open higher,you have to set it to the point you want it to open to in your idrive settings. It was a beast of a SAV and I thought it looked cool,like nothing on the road at the time and the twin turbo 4.4 V8 in that thing was amazing when it worked but it barely did.
50i had starter problems and everything but thank god it was covered by warranty and I got rid of it, last BMW I bought also but I still have my E38 740i with only 17k miles.
Hate is unjustified. It looks great and muscly, the engine is great (if taken care of), the dynamics were definitely the best of and SUV/SUV Coupe released in that time. There are many, many way worse cars
I worked at a BMW dealer years ago and remember these cars. Everyone that had one always had the seats all the way back for some reason😂
Everyone trying to do the ole "Gangster lean"
Nah, that's how you drive a coupe...err a 4 door coupe...SAV...with about 2 tons more weight.
I personally like the x6 in particular that year and body style, it reminds me of the Acura ZDX. I own an 2018 x5 but something in me prefer the looks/size of x6
I would love he bought an Acura zdx

Tyler, I am subscriber since Apollo 911, I am with you man, I am so impressed that even with things hapenning in the background you keep on rolling, still true to your hooptie love. Hang in there, after storm the sun always come up.
Hey Hoovie, I appreciate the upload and hope you’re doing well! I l’m in the minority on this I’m sure but I actually enjoyed the look of this car (mainly from the front) While it’s by no means my favorite design (that would be the M3 E46) I did enjoy the different type of design and power all be it at the loss in practicality. Maybe it’s because I’ve been a BMW fanboy since birth and the most recent release of BMW’s has pushed me away more than ever but I have a greater appreciation for not so loved 08-15 BMW models
