Yuji, car looks awesome. Please describe the differences in daily driving coming from the M3 to the 550. Very curious. I would imagine the interior room and updates are a welcome change. Probably a drastic change. Must make the M3 feel small. Do tell.

Hi yujis550i,
This pic witout the drop looks very, very hot.
Lowered with AC Schnitzer is too low in my opinion.

I do have a 70 mile daily commute. Though the M3 was a car I would take out when I would have a bad day, the 550 is an all around pleasure to drive. Coming from larger bodied sedans (Lexus GS, Infiniti Q45) I am no stranger to larger vehicles. What surprises me is how agile the 550 actually is relative to its size.
The M3 was definitely a more visceral drive but the 550 is more refined, relaxed drive. Perfect example... I was coming home from San Diego this past Saturday, a tad hungover and the 550 performed without flaw or fuss. The M3 would have been HELL on my headache.
I hope this helps.
Yuji

Congrats on the new car - it's amazing how much bigger your new F10 looks compared to the M3 in that second picture!
