335d to P2 LRDM

Hey all,

Long time BMW fan here.

I've got a 2017 335d with 110k miles and it's beginning to need more attention to keep it happy. I've been hanging fire on the EV front until there are more performance oriented saloons around, but the prospect of big bills is getting me nervous, especially when I factor in that I can put my £250 a month on diesel towards the cost of an EV. An i4 M50 is the natural next step, but they're a bit out of my price range at the moment.

I love the way the BMW drives - I have the adaptive dampers, and it basically corners flat and does things a two tonne saloon shouldn't be able to. A colleague had a 2021 LRSM and compared with his experience of BMWs thought the Polestar to be a bit on the dull side to drive.

I have a test drive booked for a couple of weeks time, but can I ask if anyone has experience of swapping from a similar BMW to a Polestar? How did/do you find it in the handling department? I think a lot of other things are probably what you would expect from an upgrade to a more modern EV.

Thank you :)
