I was in your same boat a few weeks back and went with 535i and I’m able to continue normally sleeping at night . The car is so comfortable I don’t even care too much about not having tune yet lol

You are buying at 70-80k car. You can't expect to pay 20k and not having to do maintenance on it up to $10k. People would never upgrade to new cars if you are expecting M3 level performance with Carmy level reliability. When I bought each variation of the N63, I put 10k to the side for any unexpected repairs. It comes with the territory.
Things to keep in mind.
1. You have to pay to play
2. You get what you pay for
