Still loving this thing --- stopped by Supreme Power to get some parts (for another car)

Hi Vic55. I have been watching your posts for years and your posts are invaluable. I had a first edition m5 when you had one and now have the X5m competition and I am considering getting a plaid now that gas prices are insane. Please let me know your thoughts on this transition and if anything I will be missing coming from an M car. Right now the only thing I can think of is Carplay and Waze. I also loved the B&W stereo in BMW. Thanks again for your help!
@vic55 Are you by chance, Vic55 who was on the MB Forum with an INSANE E55 AMG back in the day?
I didnt while I had the oem wheels on with the spacers ... I had the tips of the studs shaved but that was all and way more than enough threads as well.did you have any issues with the stud size running 20mm spacers on stock wheels?
I love the Taycan from my short drives that Ive had (Turbo)- it truly drives as advertised. I just wasnt in the EV market when it first came out and then the Plaid piqued my interest solely from its straight line performance. I never looked back as the sound system makes up for the lack of exhaust. So the Plaid is faster of course but the Taycan drives better. If it was my only car then that would be a tough decision now that I own the Plaid and am very pleased.Thoughts on the Taycan? I find the "Sport Sound" to replace engine noise is pretty satisfying and fills the void better than Plaid's. Love your car btw, very tasteful.
Awesome.
If you had to only choose one car, which would it be? I only weekend/joy ride and I'm considering Plaid/Taycan/911. A part of me wants to enjoy a 911 because I have the rest of my life to drive electric cars.
The yoke - is a complete joke.Got the yoke.
Wow. Awsome.Yeah it would be the GTS or my M3 or the M8 ... but I am using the Plaid alot because I just dont have to gas it up ever (not to save money but to save time) and the sheer velocity is incredible. The R8 wont fly as an only driver for me.
Ive already spoken to this but but I have no intention of tracking a 5k lb car with 1000 hp- further I understand the chassis, the power, and lack of stopping prowess that it has only due to the law of physics. Of course a car that can accelerate this fast with this heft needs better brakes but they dont for now but they stop me fine because I know the limits of the car. So it can be my only car but ICE is still my go to.

This is a great add even though I didnt mind the yoke:

Where you get the steering wheel from again?Yeah it would be the GTS or my M3 or the M8 ... but I am using the Plaid alot because I just dont have to gas it up ever (not to save money but to save time) and the sheer velocity is incredible. The R8 wont fly as an only driver for me.
