New R owner! 2017 oryx white....

I had a 2013 s4. Traded it in and went back to BMW. The s4 was fast but, well, boring. Nothing wrong at all, point and shoot and the car went where directed but felt like driving a video game. Bmw also is now electric assist and not quite as dull as the s4 but is nothing like my old 2011 335. That car was exciting to drive. Given this back drop and your experience with the R, is the feeling really that much better? If so, I may be explaining a 3rd new car in 4 years to the wife. Thoughts.....

Also, regarding explaining. It's easy...you decided to go the economical route and get a nice practical, gas efficient VW golf (never-mind the quad exhaust and race mode [emoji41]).

Congrats - You will really be impressed with the difference an ECU and TCU tune do for it (APR).
The new facelift tails look fantastic on the white as well.

The closest R that ticks all the boxes for me is in Madison Wisconsin. And I'm in Baltimore. 13 hour drive each way
