- Mag ride suspension is more comfortable than the G80, my Taycan had air suspension so I got spoiled by a nice ride (car is my daily)
- Could not get a pre-2023 M3 anymore, so I would be stuck with the dash billboard screen and no physical buttons.
- Value of the BW is phenomenal, I got mine for $70k OTD, which was under sticker, after much negotiation on NYE (sticker had a $12k markup), the M3 I would have wanted would be $10k+ more than I paid. Not that money was a huge factor, but with the current economy, I am stacking cash to buy rental properties after a market correction.
- I'm not far away from the Spartanburg BMW factory, and I see a lot of M cars around me, I have yet to see another CT4 Blackwing.
Bonus: Caddy sends the original buyers of the Blackwing cars to Spring Mountain for a free 2-day track event ($3,500+ value)

I always hear really good things about the Mag ride and how nice and comfortable it is. I'm moving to SD in a couple of months and I'll finally be able to take one for a spin and see what it's like behind the wheel.
Looking forward to a long term update once you get some time and miles on the car.
