I found myself using it almost exclusively for daily driving duties and I rarely had the chance to take it for a meaningful drive. The fact I didn't get around to starting a thread for it on here, or even to take any half decent photos of it, underscores how I struggled to fully immerse myself in the ownership experience.
Plus I am likely to be doing a bit more commuting this year and I need something more suitable for that. The M4, actually, was perfectly fine for long journeys - as comfortable as you'd expect from any modern BMW and surprisingly economical - but I just hated the idea of putting big mileage on it. It's far too special a car for that.
For all those reasons, and especially with resale values as they are at the moment, it was clear that it was time to move it on (hopefully to someone who will make better use of it than I could).
For now I am back driving my humble 318Ci, but I hope to get myself a decent E60 shortly if I can find one!
