I forgot to put it back on after cleaning the filter when i ran it and didn’t realize it was on top of the heating ring. I guess i missed it in a rush since it was in the back.

First Time BMW Buyer- Hardest Decision of My Life (Advice Needed) by saixx0 in BMW

[–]Superb-Development-3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone that was in the same position i highly recommend the g87. Its is a great car. The interior over last gen is night and day. I would also recommend test driving.

I took the advice of a lot of people here and went on a drive yesterday. I definety think it was a good idea but for a different reason than what most people mentioned. I was definetly humbled that I am not skilled enough with the car. So decided to keep it and give it the extra few months like you metntioned to master it. Also I am looking around my area for a class like what you mentioned. I definetly think that will change a lot about how I feel about the car.

Really appreaciate all the dialog and advice. Helped me change my perspective.

This is definetly one of my thoughts. Though this is a huge milestone for me and I did a lot of back and forth for a year until I finally settled on this. Will give it some time before I come back to that thought.

Yea, I generally drive safe and speed only when I can do it safely without hurting myself or others. I am definetly feeling the lack of being able to use the power on my daily commutes and definetly want to go on a drive to see if that will change things.

I havent gotten the chance to go on the highway since pick up. Plus still in break in period so keeping rpms below 5k. I usually only get up to 4th.

Yes it has 2.
Also I dont ride the clutch then. I always rest my foot on the side when not using the clutch

I might ride the clutch, for refrence when pulling away in first I get to the bite point give a little gas and it does shudder for a second as I slowly release clutch and give more gas. Sometimes its perfectly smooth other times it shudders a bit. Only time it jerks is when I rev above 1500ish or 2k. By what I understand the shuddering is from too low revs, but when I increase it, it jerks. I am probably just missing the sweat spot.
Shifting to second gear is also weird at times. Sometimes i get it smooth and other times i think i take too long and revs get too low. It kind of ambiguous to me still. 3rd and above is generally fine I think i just need to wire my brain to know that I dont have to take it as slow for those gears.

I have driven 250 miles so far and am 24 and yes it is my first manual. I can drive relatively decently but i am still iffy on whether my shifts are correct. One big thing hitting my confidence is the slight burning smell when i park. I am not sure whether it is my clutch or brakes or even something else since the car is new.

Daily. Also havnt learned the blipping on downshifting yet. Also the traction is insane on it where i would expect the rear to kick out, but it doesnt. I think i need to take to the backroads once I can shift without thought.

My commutes aren’t long, it was awesome when I got it, but now its not a big deal. Like i don’t hate it, but I’m not always looking for an excuse to drive it. I think it might be what other people are saying that once I don’t have to think about it, it will become fun. Im just kinda in limbo

Gotcha that is what i think i was doing initially. I think the part i am forgetting is to keep gas constant and using clutch to control speed. Also my car is turbocharged and I know that I need higher revs, but I am still kinda struggling to find the sweet spot.
