"But a 2 liter turbo’d engine in a 3600+ pound daily driver BMW isn’t, at least as compared to a 3.2 liter NA 6."

+1.

Wife's new 435 something or other is of no comparison to the prior 325xi that was a dream to drive. At the time the 325xi was certainly the nicest car we've owned and possibly the ultimate 'ski car' driving machine. With enough options that it felt luxurious too.
The 435 is beautiful, but full of useless options and hard to properly flog.

I do still need to take it on a multi day road trip, so my opinion may indeed change.

I like the star trek dashes of today... compared to the ipad dash of the Tesla. That's just lazy design.

I expect retro to be the go-to again, very soon. Even if in software.

Agree on the dash design.
