I run the DWS's on my M2, they're a good tire. Not amazing, but decent in the wet which is what i care about up in Seattle.
I have an e34 518i as my second car and I daily it (I’m 18). It’s a brilliant second car and pretty reliable for the most part, its a 30 year old car so expect the off electrical gremlin. Sills are normally the killers for these cars. Have a good look at the jacking points and take off the sill covers if you buy one and make sure it doesn’t need any welding. I would recommend not getting the 518i as I had to redo the HEADGASKET but other than that they are good. Make sure to get it to speed and make sure it doesn’t have the usual 55mph wheels wobble. Brilliant cars though! Do it!!
I run stage 2+ on e40 and daily it. Nobody needs this amount of power for a daily (500hp 3.4s 0-60). Also just hit 100k miles and I drive the hell out of it; just routine maintenance.
Apart from a few sets of tires, a new set of awkwardly large wiper blades each year and one 12V battery all it has needed was some very basic maintenance: change brake fluid (same as doing regular brakes - nothing special) and greasing the caliper slider pins. Still on the original pads and rotors.
I swapped my G80 from PS4S to PS4AS in early October, which lets me send it on the \\~75% of winter days that are dry and cold, but no snow or ice.
I have mildly upgraded shocks (koni active) but otherwise stock and the ride quality is pretty good
I took a drive in my i4 a couple of weeks ago that estimated I'd get home with 4% battery. Guess what I rolled into the garage with..... 4% battery. These modern systems are pretty damn accurate.
BMW i3… loved that little toaster but 80 mile range wasn’t cutting it anymore. I still enjoyed running errands and zipping through parking lots.
Any BMW. You have to take the side fender and various front engine apart just to replace a headlight! Dealer says they'll replace both for $2000.
You need the Msport brakes unless you want new rotors every 5,000 miles. Have a 540i that didn’t come with them and was a nightmare until I upgraded.
