Really is a poor move. As a BMW brand whore/nerd I am not sure what BMW is thinking. I am hoping the Coupe will still be called the "M3". And I think they are a bit off with what the market will say/do. Everyone wants a "BMW 3-Series" and everyone knows the "M3" name. Even those not into cars...

It's a basic shell. The hit was minor for a drift incident. Nothing really spectacular here. And then the results are 'judged' by a 'panel'. Snoozzzeeeeee

No... Bro-dozer deserves the reputation.

That part sucks the most. Use dollars to promote 'efficiency' that isn't efficient because it's not built nearly as well. A lot of cars are like that now. Don't promote any maintenance. Just drive it for 100,000 miles and it breaks down. Get another one.

Yes. I know. It would assume they are in your area as well. Just something that happens with the internet. I like to do a lot of Urban Exploring. I have been into a lot of cool places. Someone posts them on the internet and it becomes well known. They are destroyed shortly after but people.

And now... this business model isn't as good because it was made largely public.

Yah. Weird. No BMW E30 or E28 or similar either. Yet there is a Land Rover product. And a Veyron.

I knew this was going to be a real winner when he is one handing the wheel and driving all over the wrong side of the road. Then he tosses it with jerky inputs into a corner... nice work driver.

Things start out awesome. Rebadged Holden. 400+ HP V8... then it all goes south and comes with an automatic trans. Snooze.

Hopefully it comes. Could get some younger blood in there that might love the sport. Stop going after oil money and a big pay day while scratching off classic Grand Prix tracks that have a strong GP history. This is the guy that seriously was interested in cutting the British GP at Silverstone, the birthplace of F1,

Vettel one because he is in the best car(for a few years) and is a seriously good driver. Don't think there is much to wonder past that.

GT-R is one car I just don't get. I guess I like my E30 with a swap on track. I control everything. Mistakes are made by me. Corrected by me. I see GT-Rs in my run groups all the time running around and everyone is discussing their sweet lap times... while the PS3 of a car runs around super fast.

Then dumping that kind

Reduce the driver engagement? How so? The SMG is faster and performs the same function. Having driven both versions if you wanted to run balls out on a track the SMG is a better choice. I guess you don't get the 'brag rights' of driving a manual transmission I guess?

SMG is not a bad thing.

Turn 12 @ Road Atlanta. It's fast and you can go flat out in most cars. Getting up the courage is another story.

This is slated for a US Release? I would find that interesting.

I was replying in general. The price is too much. I know the seller too. Basing it off a super rare twin turbo kit that was installed though isn't driving the value in my opinion. The exterior and interior is more of an issue.

Used 335i... basically has AIDS. It wore turbos... and still does!

Abused by turbos? M30 has low compression which is perfect for turbos. Running 8psi or so through them does absolutely zero in terms of abuse. It is very common for forum guys to boost 200,000+ mile M30s with no ill effects.

Wowsers. This splitter looks like someone said "Oh wait guys, this is for the track. We have to have some type of front splitter." This was after the car was ready for production.

All of those are all well and good but the reason why the XJ is what it is, the e30 of off-roaders, is reliability. It does what it was designed to do and does it well. How many 200,000-300,000 mile 2014 Cherokees do you think will exist? It's going to be made to current standards. Recycle. Lease it for 3 years and
