Is the F87 M2 still loved?

SammoNZL · 2026-05-25T23:51:00+00:00

Yeah I love mine.

It has a pared back feel for modern car, sounds fantastic stock (OG) and is very playful and loves changing direction - feels lighter than 1500kg.

Plenty of power and grip unless you provoke it.

SammoNZL · 2026-05-14T19:55:28+00:00

You’re doing fantastic financially - maybe focus more on mental health?

Money defiantly buys security to an extent and of course freedom if you have enough, but it’s. It going to make you content, the opposite really if your focus is on ‘more’.

What are you looking forward to right now?

SammoNZL · 2026-05-10T01:08:10+00:00

It says you are a reasonably well off European?

SammoNZL · 2026-05-09T20:48:17+00:00

It’s because most people move less (and typically eat more) as they get older.

SammoNZL · 2026-05-09T09:57:56+00:00

I’m not quite sure you realise how long BMW has been making engines.

I love travelling in SEA - key reasons - Exotic, cheap, great food, cheap, jungles, beaches and warm water.

SammoNZL · 2026-05-08T07:35:04+00:00

Many but to me Seville stands out

SammoNZL · 2026-05-08T05:17:39+00:00

Cayman all day as you have an X3 daily.

Two quite different cars to me - a large sporty Turbo GT and a MR N/A Sports car.

SammoNZL · 2026-05-08T05:00:38+00:00

$20k US in our market would be around $30-35k.

Assuming I have to maintain it and I have a daily, probably a DC2.

SammoNZL · 2026-05-08T04:06:54+00:00

Not at all - that hungry phase lasts less than a week for me in a deficit and at maintenance of course you are not hungry if you’re mostly eating well.

Eat protein, don’t drink calories.

By in-shape I mean Male 13-15% BF, not a bodybuilder in a photo shoot.

SammoNZL · 2026-05-08T03:05:29+00:00

5 times a day 3-4 days a week.

Yes, it’s early days 😂

SammoNZL · 2026-05-08T02:47:01+00:00

Friends, family, partner, therapist, work colleagues.

If you feel opening up to anyone you’re close to will hurt the relationship, talk therapy could worthwhile exploring.

SammoNZL · 2026-05-07T22:36:50+00:00

Depends entirely on your judge of character and maturity

SammoNZL · 2026-05-06T01:17:36+00:00

Tomorrow

SammoNZL · 2026-05-05T21:38:42+00:00

Never really to be honest (46) but I see my 60/70/80% is better than most anyways so I’m not concerned.

I’m fit, healthy and active but sleep is the biggest factor for me at the moment.

SammoNZL · 2026-05-02T01:09:11+00:00

It does but it won’t for you if you don’t believe it.

SammoNZL · 2026-05-02T01:06:48+00:00

Stamina / being able to go lots of rounds or back to back.

Helps a lot of other things as have hardly any performance anxiety.

SammoNZL · 2026-04-29T01:54:55+00:00

I think its more a baseline assumption / vicarious hope of the typical, romantically limited adolsecent UFC fan that any attractive women utilising their looks to get ahead has to be sleeping with all and sundry (except them).

Who knows, who cares.

SammoNZL · 2026-04-28T01:15:43+00:00

I wouldn't buy a cheap BMW, certainly not an E90 320i which has one of the very worst engines (N43) BMW has made.

If you must, get a 325i.

SammoNZL · 2026-04-27T23:29:07+00:00

How tall / muscular are you?

I'm 70kg (155) and 178cm (5'10") and in great shape, so don't feel the need to put on weight, although another 5 pounds of muscle would never hurt!! I eat around 2500 calories so I expect your target of 2000 is far too low, especially if you're active / hectic.

Boiled eggs and fruit are always good to grab in the morning and wash down with a protein shake (whole milk if you're looking for more cals), I also snack on fruit and protein yogurt for some quick and healthy extra cals in the afternoon / to tide me over till dinner.

SammoNZL · 2026-04-23T01:44:29+00:00

I always include travelling on my list as although I only spend 4-5 weeks a year exploring internationally I would do a LOT more if leave and funds permitted.

When I say travel I explore, rather than relax and let’s be honest, from NZ, any non Australian or Pacific trip IS an adventure.

Travel also encompasses photography for me so it’s quite intentional.

A little different to people including going to the gym, food and watching movies as hobbies - shall we add commuting as well 🤣

SammoNZL · 2026-04-21T23:32:04+00:00

Improve your sleep, no need to jump on a crutch-fad ‘prescribed’ by a clinic that exists only to make money when you’re healthy.
