Because I'm wacist to my own kind, it's very easy to make broad-sweeping generalizations about my ilk that I'm almost always right about because well, are pretty predictable.

 

Robuchon, the chef that passed away the other day, has a nice restaurant over in Macau -- -country -- and well, all meals comes with a fantastic bread basket with a wonderful selection of baked goods to go with your meal. It's also limitless.

Guess who walks out of that place with baskets of the bread after a meal...? Yeah, the .

 

 

Yah very happy with the new engine.. To be honest, the rest of the car is nothing "new" to me. But the new engine is providing something different than my previous F30 335 and 435i.

 

I tend to knock BMW here on AZ, but it's really catered towards the people who aren't familiar with German cars who are looking to buy a several years old, well-out-of-warranty Euro. They simply aren't prepared for the maintenance costs when the miles pile on. Not really an issue for newer cars though, by virtue of simply having less wear and tear. You just need to adjust your expectations if you came from a Honda or Toyota.

I know a few here in Car Talk have had a various combination of the three brands and have had fewer problems than with their Hondas. Funny.

Of the German Big 3 brands I favor BMW the most, with MB my least favorite (but I still really like them). BMW for sport, Audi for tech, Benz for refinement. I'm a stickler for driving feel and ergonomics, and iDrive is the most intuitive to use IMO.

 

Just to confirm: It's not as slow as ttribe's 335 right?

 

 

 

Resident MB-fanboi here, I went into my C knowing that maintenance would likely be more than the TL, Civic & F150 that came before it, part of the reason I got a CPO too.

My 2.0Toy is faster than his 335i

 

 

I dont know i still have run flat and he has upgraded tires, so it might be a driver's race in term of slowness.

 

oh.. upgraded tires.. no way brah.
Might as well drive in reverse.

 

I don't even know why I asked. Nothing is slower than ttribe's 335. Even Little Cha's trike is faster using the power of his little legs to propel it forward.

 

My new wheels came with BMW dealer mounted runflats...I need to upgrade again soon.

 

You need an RLX.

 

Oh yah i am waiting to hit 10k before upgrade... as much as i hate them... kinda need to force myself to take advantage of some of it.

 

He can't handle the neck breaking, reality bending force when equipped with upgraded tires... most of us can't.

Now think about, RLX with upgraded tires could easily defeat Thano's 5 Infinity stones....

 

Hmmm...good point. What happens if he's careful about pressing the pedal and just feather-taps it? Still too fast?

 

Hey, I said I still really like them. Something for everyone.

Yours is still basically new. I had friends who went from Civics (heh) and Accords to 7-year old German cars and were wholly unprepared.

 

Definitely still too fast. I'd never survive such g-forces after all these years of driving around in the slowest car on the planet.

 

Well hang on, what if we took out the tires and replaced them with some slow-all-season ones? And THEN you just literally feather touch the pedal?

 

Still dead. Too fast. This IS the RLX we are talking about!

 

340i

It's on my list. But, has to be white.

 

But, you're not Asian. What are you, a Whinese?

 

He is yellow inside.

 

you guys see this shit....

happened in Guangzhou, China

Woman Test-Driving BMW Smashes Straight Through Dealership Front Doors - LADbible

 

That sucks.

Luckily no one was injured.

 

Not surprised. Asian + BMW = No Drive.




I can't be wacist to my own kind.

 

Did she smash a white i8 or white Gran Turismo? If not, no care. 3-series are a dime a dozen.

 

If she totaled an X4 or X6, she was doing a public service.

 

I just hope she was one of those rich ones so she could at least afford the damages...

But buying an X1 in China... chances are... she is gonna broke after this.

 

She's probably rich or her family/husband is. IMO, chinese people who can even afford a BMW are gonna be quite well off already. For the most part I don't hear of chinese people maxing out their finances to buy luxury cars...

 

Butt...per oono...is she Tiffany Li rich?

 

i had to google her to find out who she is

 

+ = +

 

Higher up at my work has a McLaren 570 as his daily must be nice

His beater is an i8.

 

Must be nice.

 

But, I must ask, Costco: IS HE HAPPY?!?




Cuz, you know, people say money can't buy happiness.

 

He's so high up there I haven't even met him yet.

I'm sure he's a very depressed and unpleasant guy to be around. Probably hates his life.

 

K. Good. I thought so. Money does NOT buy happiness. If I were him, I'd be fuming why it's not a Zonda/P1/918 and Poopdick McFartington.



Pffft, McLaren and i8. Pffft.
