AWD Non-P Owners: Would you upgrade to the Performance Model for $6K?

[Glamisduner]

His stealth Performance has the wrong badge, all Performance should have the red line (like it shows in the app)

They probably forgot to change it after they flashed it to a performance model.

Not me. I don’t track my car, and the AWD is already crazy fast for street driving.

AWD IS crazy quick!

I'm convinced acceleration is like a drug. I don't feel it as much anymore in my non-P AWD. Maybe it's time to increase the dosage?

For $6k more and lifetime supercharging which was available when I ordered and took delivery of my car, I would have done it

Agreed! I was doing the math on what the supercharging would be worth to me. And because that was included with the P, I definitely gave it some thought. But at $11k no way. At $6k? Well, yes. Yes I would.

We have so many obsolete sayings now like "hit the gas" and "power under the hood" but oh well. I'm sure the sayings will persist long after cars aren't powered by gas anymore or there aren't ICE under car hoods.

One of my favs is that we still "tape" things when we're recording them.

Yup! Just today when I slapped the pedal down for fun, I was thinking... huh. Really? This all ya got? It is definitely addictive.

I deserve 6K for reading the never ending refund me threads. Especially the one that just hit 100 pages.

I have an '07 BMW 530i, and the AWD is more than fast enough for me, but I couldn't justify the extra 11k, although the lifetime supercharging did temp me. I would have definitely done it for 6k though, as supercharging alone would be worth it. I only charged my M3 once via the 110v charger and have had it at the service center & Body shop for the last two weeks (chip on bumper and corrosion ynder hood spacers on delivery). Currently driving the S 75D loaner and really diggin' the ease of supercharging, especially when making the trip from L.A. to Vegas.

You will always get used to it. Even people with 700+whp cars get used to it.
