@davesaddiction Ah right, just an elvis fact

@italianjobr53 I don’t need it I don’t need it. I don’t need it. I don’t need it. I don’t need it. D553044E-903D-435E-988E-B31CA66D1F62.gif

@pip-bip not what I was expecting

@krustywantout yep peak BMW right there.

@pip-bip The GTR looks weird with those stripes...

@pip-bip I'm always amused that many aging x45 badged cars smoke in a way that would make my fintail blush - not BMW's finest hour.

Thanks all for the messages, made it home after a slight overheating and refilling+bleeding of the coolant in a parking lot. Man these cars sounds good.

@mazda616 said in Used car values... I'm really scratching my head here.:

@stuckmtb Carvana offered me $9,450 or so for my 2016 Mazda6. I’d get $1,000 more if it didn’t have an accident in its history (a Chrysler Sebring rear-ended the 6 in 2018 and I had to get a new rear bumper). KBB trade-in is $10,835.

Carvana seems to be on the low-end for everything and they care more about cars having minor accidents in their history than local dealers do.

They sure weren't on the low end for my GTI. But it's in their wheelhouse - low miles, factory warranty remaining, squeaky clean history, dealer services all showing up on the CarFax. The one who lowballed me was Carmax - they only offered $15.5K. Vroom was the highest but, their pickup and payment timing sucked, would have basically had to pay for two more months of insurance, and worry that something would happen to it in the meantime.

@pip-bip Saw this bad boy not so long ago:

Was an auto tho. 😞

@patbateman That parking job is so good it makes me wonder if credit goes to the owner, or a tow truck driver...

@fractalfootwork said in BMW M2 Competition - An Oppo Journal:

Should I get a battery tender for winter?

Yes, you should. It's a very cheap investment that will help increase the life of your battery and prevent any unfortunate non-starting events. The car may start just fine each time you start it up but sounds like you're not running it nearly enough to top it back up. Just get a battery tender, plug it in, and be done with it.

@onlytwowheels That's not terrible, as long as I don't dwell on the front or rear.

That was fun. 🙂

@pip-bip that interior combo is awful. Id keep the mint and ditch the yellow quick.

@maximaspeed yup they are trying to fright back against BMW enthusiasts being pissed that they are shifting to making ev crossovers by effectively saying “times change old man.” Which is true, but that crossover ev won’t put a smile on my face as I’m banging rev limiter going sideways in the snow.

@hfv it's good they can keep the cost of the roof panel down using 3d printing, since you're forever having to throw them off at speed in the desert.

With that spoiler, it's obvious this is a throwback to the original Supra. It's also more overstyled than either existing Supras which makes me wanna vom.
Still pretty cool, definitely the version I'd have

There was one displayed inside the BMW Dealership here in Plano. Same color. Beautiful car. Have seen it on the move too. It is one of the most beautiful BMW's ever made.

@nermal said in M3 Configurator..yay?:

@saracen Spicy Taek - The beaver tooth grille isn't nearly as problematic as the wheels. All I want is a base model in black with red calipers with some goddam proper polished goddam BBS forged wheels.

Fortunately it's fixable for ~$6k. You should make a sizable portion of that back by selling the stockers to somebody that wants to make their plebeian 320 appear more M-ish.

We'll have to agree to disagree, because I have no problem with the wheels. The entire design language of the car is spoiled by the front end.

Personally I'd rather go local and custom order some forged HRE's for that price.

@tonicipriani Oh I know. I understand what they were TRYING to do, they just utterly failed in the attempt. The size, proportion, scale and detailing of the new 4 completely loose it.

Possibly one of the most beautiful German cars ever designed.

@just-jeepin Buy the Z4. You only live once, live it fast.

@tonicipriani Looks like somebody cheaped out on an exhaust fix IMO.

@stuckmtb I have that same bike rake. I found at a thrift store for 1 dollar because the old lady didn’t know what it was. 2C1A94F7-6149-48F0-9177-D78ADFD5111B.jpeg ![3B6B7D66-CC40-4584-BB30-98A285E29446.jpeg]
