I needed to move back to a daily so I sold my E90M for a E90 335i and it was actually a great match for a daily, but spent too much money fixing and refreshing things while simultaneously worrying about it breaking down and giving me an issue. I got used to the turbo 6 though so I picked up an F80 comp.

I agree the F8x is a very livable daily. I got 30mpg yesterday casually cruising on the highway, the 6MT makes it generally enjoyable and still engaging, and I have yet to really give it a good back roads beating but it certainly feels plenty capable. But it sounds like there are bolts stuck in the muffler, the interior has some nice bits like the competition seats, but the cabin in the E9x was perfectly adequate and well buttoned down.

The E9x was the more visceral and smile inducing car by a mile. Revving out the F8x even with a tune and ~500hp doesn't feel that exciting. S65 stock would give me a shit eating grin anything above 5000RPM.

The S65 is just a damn special thing, it's just hard to live with as a daily driver when gas was $5/gallon and you're still fighting gremlins of a 15 year old car with rotting bushings, oil leaks, etc.
