Guess I need to take some photos of mine with some burlap and mason jars on it, then you'll be good to go... Maybe scribble a random phrase across the side too? "If you're not first, you're last"

I like reading long term reviews. Grab'd this from a BMW forum >

Not bad. Fuel mileage is surprisingly good. Do these have crank bearing issues like every M engine ever made?
Sounds like a solid car overall. 3 years no issues, decent mileage, and lots of fun.... what more can you ask for?

Fuel Economy: I've found my cars computer to be extremely accurate, so I use it. I get 25+mpg in regular commuting with plenty of stop and go. I get 30-32mpg driving to and back from Lewes DE (about 110 miles each way, straight, almost no traffic, cruising at 75mph or so). I have pushed a calculated 34mph cruising at 70mph on very long trips, and I have gotten 18mpg in suburban driving with lots of aggression.
I get 22-23 in commuting and 27-29 on road trips, my car has :225: s and far better gearing than the M6. I am going bullshiet on that or he drives like a god damn grandpa.
wife is recommending I sell it and get a 2018 Jeep Wrangler + sports car
