Hi
My first posting... please be gentle! I've just ordered an UK M50d. Spec approaching lockdown soon. I appreciate the M50d might not be available in the US, but for anyone that can help...

I'm interested to hear from others with M50d's in terms of driving and ownership experiences particularly compared to X5 E70 30d, X3 30d, both of which I've had in the past.

I've had only short experiences in an M50d so anything on the following points would also be of interest:

Driving / handling compared to a F15 30d or an X3 30d

MPG (ideally UK roads if possible)

Any other comments on the ownership of M50d

Anyone more widely, anyone using Gtechniq paint protection on their F15 - does the wheel, glass, leather protection really work?

I'm also interested in the X5M / X6 knee pads as an addition to the interior trim. I'm looking into that as an aftermarket purchase right now.

Thanks in anticipation
