New 2nd daily - Poor mans 1M.
2 months in - Pretty happy with the platform so far. First BMW was an E46 Touring but have been a long time Audi nerd and decided it was time to move on to a new platform.

Coming from an old Audi, this thing has such good road manners and handles well for being stock on all season tires.
I don't really have any plans at this moment but I would like to add a tune & supporting modifications but primarily focus on suspension and a more aggressive tire setup.
Maintenance is first, however. The car has a little bit of a lifter tick when cold (not injectors, follows RPM) - the "beat the hell out of it" method for bleeding the lifters didn't really work.
Otherwise, mechanically pretty solid.
Thanks for reading!
