From those pics, it looks just a bit high but when Im on level ground in the garage it looks lower. Ill shoot a few more. Here is the exhaust mod done on an F90 (just pulled the resonator) but not my car and the video is a bit weak. But its fairly close: Quote:
Its hard for me to remember what the F90 was like stock but both cars have the RC in and I "feel" the F93 might be just a little quicker. It does have a different map based off higher boost limits of the CE. Driving wise its a more confident ride with the extended length, better dampers, steering connection, and the KW's vs the H&R's. The F90 is a little more nimble but then again whats really nimble about 4400 lbs. The F93 just cruises on the express way with no drama at speeds well over 120 mph. I hit 157 mph the other day uphill and it came in no time. The stability was incredible. And as you know I have other rides that can complete my carving/handling needs in different manners. Yes- they are part of one California's National Forests where I live. We were victims of those raging Orange County fires a few years back and I almost lost my home- 11 houses away from that fire when the wind turned for the better. We have not had much rain either this season into December. And this was hilarious

Absolutely stunning car, the new brakes go very well with the interior.
While the M5 is a more house hold name, I genuinely think the F93 is the best looking BMW has made in 10 years. The rear 3/4 angle is unbeatable. |

Congrats Vic! Love the yellow brake calipers. My last Beemer was black and I said never again....you just need the cleaning genie to clean it up for you at end of day.

I was dead set on getting another F90 once my current 19 lease is up but threads like this lead me back to considering the M8 GC again. I need to spend more time looking at one in person. Thanks for the great contribution Vic!

So I have many alcantara set ups (full and partial) over my car acquisition life but this is the first via BWM. To me, the quality is great and location of the alcantara is situated well for durability. I do feel its the shape of ones body that will truly determine the seat wear. My body is not of the buffet shape variant so Ive yet to see the excessive wear in the history of my ownership of these cars. Even in cars I kept for over 3 years which was the 2007 Turbo with full alcantara. This car has it in the areas where bolstering occurs along with the side thigh area but the material is well put together and I dont see a long term issue.

Hey the F90 is amazing and I held on to mine for over 2 years which says immense things. I love to dump cars but the F90 engine and power delivery kept me coming back. So to have this opportunity with an F93 which looks different and keep that power plant; I said why not. The length, not the added weight (limited), scared me but its easily overcome unless all you do is drive canyons. But even then its a great car for that compared to others in its segment.
