Move from E93 M3 to 650i converyible

[mjposner]

Anyone make this move? I have a 2012 that is 4 years old and contemplating a move to a 2014 650i as my daily 50 mile a day driver.

Please give me thoughts.

I moved from a 13' 335is to the '15 650i for my 45 mile, each way, commute. I have zero reasons to go back. The 335is was chipped and I was using e85 so it would be equal to or faster than your e92 stock in a straight line. Much is personal preference, but here are a few of mine:

• Larger trunk, top up or down
• Rear seat room for the kids is comparable although there is no A/C vent. Worked just fine for 1,500 miles in Europe.
• Much smoother ride and can still become a bit aggressive when desired. Sport+ to Comfort+ and I have the Active Roll Stabilization to help with body roll.
• Great V8 sound especially with the exhaust valve switched open and top down or rear window open
• LED lights that I coded for European dynamic function
• Plenty of speed, until I head to the M6! With my chip I have 450hp and 510tq to the wheels (about 400hp and 430tq stock to the wheels).
• Rear window lowers to provide a sun top in SoCal but still full airflow
• I had a fairly unique color combo before (le mans blue w/cinnamon leather) and again now (tanzanite blue w/cinnamon leather) but still get more comments from strangers

I could do on. Many of these are personal but some may apply to you also.
