1a. I HATE that my behavior gives off the idea that I am unhappy with my car. The idea that this is what my modifications suggest actually hurts my feelings. I genuinely LOVE my U10. In my 26 years of car ownership, this is by far my favorite. I'm so incredibly proud of this car. I regularly kiss it goodnight as I tell it how beautiful and wonderful it is! There is not another vehicle in existence that could improve upon my ownership and driving experience. I had an '20 X3 m40i. I had a '22 X4 m40i. Yes they were leased, but I barely even washed those cars. I had no interest in either of them, other than thinking that I loved the coupe styling of the X4 and was glad to be rid of the character-less X3. I modify the X2 in ways that I consider to be upgrades; my primary goal is to make it subjectively even better, secondary is to personalize it. This car is so dope that I keep waiting for them to hit the streets en masse, and that I need to make it my own before they're everywhere.
1b. As I mentioned in the post above, I have some syndrome where I crave the underdog experience. And I thrive in the challenge to overcome the underdog status. And then as much as I neurotically keep waiting for sales to skyrocket, I have another syndrome where I crave counterculture. People genuinely hate the X2. Cool, I belong in it then!
2a. It's torque limited electronically. Self protective? Self defeating? We'll find out!
2b. I spoke to a DCT shop. They said run it and if the clutches slip, I'll know it needs better clutches. And then I'll get bigger clutches.
