Today we drive an F32 435i. How has it held up after almost a decade? Is it fun to drive? And most importantly, Should buy it?

Side note: I did not mention the brake pedal feel in this video. The pedal had some initial mush but started to bite as you got further into the pedal. I have felt better and worse.
