From a Jet Black E39 540i to Mineral Gray F32 435i
Hey guys - been a while since I've been here. Haven't recognized a single user name yet. Went from my E39 to an Audi A4 (#regret), and now back into a BMW.
And on to the new one:

I drove both the 6 and 8, I can shift manual cars decently, I enjoy it, but driving this (the upgraded 8 speed auto) is pure insanity, it shifts so fast and so hard it blew my mind, there is no way I could shift half as smooth or as quickly as this does, some of my friends are diehard manual guys and they have all been very impressed, even the official and unofficial numbers put the auto in a clear lead speed wise, and it sounds fantastic. Still a little weird at times to get used to all the gears when I'm in other cars that are 5/6 speed for a few days and then get back into the 4
I love this car, it reminds me of my first car handling wise (1992 325i E36 with koni shocks and eibach springs), if you care to look at this chart I just made, the measurements are pretty crazy. My first car was an E36, then the E39, then an Audi A4 (part of a series of bad decisions), and now this:
The F32 is actually quite similar in measurements to my previous A4 (2008 B7), but 'feels' much wider and way longer as the driver gets much more cabin space as theres not a full back seat and back doors. It feels roomier in the front of the cabin than my E39, the inch matters
Handling and everything else wise it blows my previous cars out of the water, it's got so much power at any speed (60-100 is so quick, and actually comes in handy when passing people in the middle of upper michigan). It's my favorite car, but again, I haven't put the miles on it I want to! Have been out of the country and on random trips around the US a lot this year so far
I will be posting some more later, I bought it and it's been seriously cold here, below freezing for over 90% of the last 3-4 months - pure insanity, too cold to shoot a car!
I miss it regularly- but on to better things (or so I tell myself!)
tldr: don't buy an audi a4 b7 (2005.5-2008)

Ran these through a pretty crappy develop setting and exported them - disregard the lack of editing! She had about 94 miles on at this time, was soooo clean, can't wait for winter to be over and get her back into shape
@BMWUSA on twitter actually posted this one, which I thought was kind of cool (although they could have gotten a higher resolution one
