Uh, my kid didn’t choose that. No one chooses to be born.

I need to take a highway to bring her to school.

If this were on a closed track, the danger and skill required would still be there, without the innocent drivers that one may potentially hit. Everyone on the track is an adult and aware of the risks.

Is that a serious comment?

The F10 is nice too.

I can’t access the CR reports, but C&D had a write up with similar issues:

Agreed, but it still happened. Consumer Reports agrees (whatever that’s worth), and issues on the Forums like I had are there. It’s a 50/50 shot.

Read the entire article:

The brakes were an issue right off the lot - I believe the car sat there for a long time. It didn’t really show itself until after a few trips at higher speeds, then got progressively worse. The calipers are made by Brembo, but the rotors are simply Hyundai parts.

It’s a hassle for sure, but at least BMW will give you a loaner without issue, and a nice one to boot. At Kia, I couldn’t even get one, and these were clear issues from the builder..I didn’t even ask about the paint.

I like them, they drove well, about the same as my old 3000GT. The Nissan 350Z cribbed some styling cues from it if you ask me. But compared to the 1st and 2nd gen....nope.

They seem to have a system in place: Alpine White and Jet Black are no cost, Metallic colors listed on the order sheets are usually $550, priority one colors listed on the order sheet are something like $1,950, and then the full on individual colors are around $5,000.

You can order just about anything you want on any BMW (minus some color restrictions they set up beforehand) through their individual program:

Haha, you remind me of those people who tell a depressed person to “try not being depressed?” Not that easy.

I like em. Sorry not sorry.
