S63 Coupe to M850i Coupe - thoughts
Title says it all. Have 2021 S63 coupe. Somewhat notorious wet clutch TC-less transmission and tendency to crash over poor road surfaces even in comfort setting are collectively annoying enough such that I'm considering the above, though otherwise is quite a car.
Test drove an M850i very recently for repeat exposure and found it much better than I remembered from a brief drive of one years ago. Was on 19" (am looking at a CPO with 20"), for what that's worth from a comfort standpoint.
There is a financial benefit to me to make the swap, but of course I'd be taking a hit on the S63. Hard car to value and have been lowballed (is under 20k miles, dealerships offering $90-100k) thus far without resorting to private party separate transaction.
The specific M850i I've found is highly-optioned. B&W to replace my current Burmester High-End, crystal, Alcantara, etc. Interior is extended, not full, leather, though unsure how much I'd care about that.
Simply interested in others' thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
