As to the car as a whole, the F10 is far better sorted than the E60. The DCT in the F10 is orders of magnitude better than the SMGIII in the E60; it's not even close. The E60 was also a total drama queen; even the smallest issue seemed to send that thing into limp mode, it was a bit silly, really.
I remember hearing one leave with some fury from the Honda dealer where I was working. No idea what it had, but was obviously an aftermarket exhaust. Pure amazing sound coming out of it.

No idea, just remember it turned a lot of heads when he roared out of the parking lot. Pipes did stick out just a bit more than OE, but didn't look too much different.

Same. That car is pretty AF. It's also amazing how much bigger the M5 is than the 964's haha.

How did it feel having the most reliable car out of the group?

My car looked RIDICULOUSLY HUGE next those to cars! I joked that I definitely looked line the one of the three of us who was most overcompensating for other...inadequacies. And, yeah, it was definitely funny to have the car that was least likely to have a problem! I had the sunroof open for some time when I was following them and the smell of burnt oil became a topic of conversation later. They both also own custom 914s and were telling me that they have to bring a long a bottle of Advil in the car for their club runs due to the smell of exhaust fumes and burning oil.

I have to say, we had to get on the freeway for a bit and when we hit the onramp they became rather small in my rearview mirror.

Ah nothing like the joys of owning a "classic" air cooled engine.

And yeah, the first picture I saw reminded me of the first time I saw a RR Phantom in person next to another car lol.

Yeah...in retrospect, I should have taken the 335...at least I would have been a bit less conspicuous.

I'm kinda surprised both BimBim owners parked in a stall. Given their ilk, they should be parked diagonally into multiple stalls...like angle-parked.

Don't tell me what my kind eats or not!

While yes, us Chai-knee will generally eat anything that moves, CATS are more normal par for cuisine with the Kimchis. DAWGS are sold in the market readily in Canton province for food. Cats not as much.

And we are not derailing ttribe's thread because given the car he owns, pretty sure he routinely runs over cats and dogs.

Korean eat dog #1

Per capita, Koreans still eat more dog than Chinese




China eats 100x more cats than the rest of the world combined.
