Nope

I’ve heard non adaptive owners complain about harsh rides so I’d consider it a must.

I have a m440i GC so a little different but the same under the skin.

Drive assist is awesome. Traffic jam mode is great and even the regular hands on assist works nice when you don’t feel like actually driving.

I like the mild hybrid and the start stop is way smoother than most and if you don’t want it (like when it’s really hot or cold) you can just stick over to sport trans and it stays on.

I’m 47 with a m440i though it is a gc which is probably more the old guy version. I like a hatch, sue me. 😂

I have an AA catted DP on my 440i. No cel. I got it because there aren’t any exhaust options for the GC. It is louder and a bit more aggressive sounding but not a crazy amount.

I’ve got the AA catted on my m440i as well. No issues.

Also have an injen intake but it’s not noisy, maybe a bit growlier on throttle but not obnoxious like my wife’s injen on the bronco. Between it and the blow off valve her engine sounds like Darth Vader.
