Watch this:

Since its an insurance application study, its probably ticket in the past 3,5,7 etc years. Not “any ticket at any point since you were licensed.”

School zones. 

i’m more impressed with the FRS.  It takes dedication to speed in that.

That looks like it belongs in an 80s movie depicting the 2000s. 

1st gear: A company with $6,000 in quarterly sales, fucking $6,000, worse than any local mom and pop shop you can think of that’s still open, is valued at about $200 million. That tells you everything you need to know about venture capital and the geniuses who choose where to invest it.

There is long standing debate in the Motorgeek community as to how strong those S8/RS6 Diffs really were. The ZF box is a mystery... it was used in huge SUVs like Range Rovers with large towing ratings, yet it had a few foibles that really hurt reliability.

The CS will probably have rear wheel steering, too, like a Porsche.

They’re extremely dangerous to Porsche’s profit margin, yes.

Maybe. The Motorgeek guys have turned the boost up on RS6s to obscene levels. To my knowledge nobody has ever popped the cork on the Torsen on the back of the 5HP24, much less the diffs.

Sounds similar to the NB miata window regulators.

Absolutely 100% spot on. The E46 is one of BMW’s best 3-series, and they’re only ridiculously expensive to maintain if you take them to the dealer for every little thing. Buy one, spend $500 and an afternoon overhauling the cooling system, eventually do a window regulator or control arm bushings, and enjoy it. Parts…

To each his own. I see no reason to lust after a bad copy when you can just get the real thing.

Counterpoint: E46 330i

“oh but maintenance”

Counterpoint: no. These cars are not underrated. I drove one when they were new and it compared unfavorably in every way to the smaller-engined E46 that was available at the same time (the 323/325), let alone the 328/330.

Fourth-

What? That’s...that’s insane. I’ve never spent that in a year on any BMW, including my E92 M3.

This.

Touch screen infotainment systems or any other non-tactile control that 1) requires you to look at it to operate correctly and 2) is incapable of being committed to muscle memory should be illegal.

I may be a minority, but I’m totally ok with a control dial. I hate fingerprints on my screens, and I like tactile feedback and buttons. I could also reference Mazda’s studies that found that people unconsciously move their steering wheel every time they go to touch the screens, so to prevent that, they made a control…
