Maybe this should have gone in the official MR thread...

At any rate, have been lurking but figured should show off the little fella a bit

Nice photos of the car. How satisfied are you with the three key THP elements: Variable Sport Steering, M Adaptive Suspension and M-Sport Brakes? I'm torn between getting THP and M-Sport packages.

Beautiful! I am in Los Angeles as well with a 228i! We should definitely have a little meet and photo shoot at some point! Beautiful location.

Thanks - just saw your thread - Glacier + coral red is always really striking.

As to the THP - to be honest, not having a lot of track experience I am probably not the best one to ask. All I can say is that compared w/ my highlander, everything is...precise. In comfort the steering is looser than I remember the few times I drove an E90, but the ride is much better, probably as all the e90's I drove were in Boston w/ the all season runlets. I would say everything is roughly similar to the e46 I drove in day to day small roads for a few trips to Boston.

Much more precise than my Highlander, although tbh, that car wasn't bad for its size...

Ha - at least not at the moment, I 'm afraid of doing anything that might upset "reliability". I'm actually pretty happy with it stock. That's not to say in the future, if I actually get any track experience, I'd have a better idea of what I would be looking for...maybe I should do more HPDEs!

Great photos. It looks like you had a nice day with the 2. I love driving up those roads and just getting lost. Weekday mornings are the least congested
