As an investment it’s probably better to get one with the original M20B25 engine. Or a 318iS. For my taste this one is lowered a bit to much. They could (should) have gone with the Bilstein dampers that were also in the original sports suspension kit from BMW. The car will be much more driveable with those. Speaking…

What would you need wider tires for with a car that light?

Those wheels are the only thing good about it. The whole thing is totally out of proportion. But then again, lack of proportion is probably a feature on a GLS.

The Tesla Model 3 is the best selling car in the Netherlands btw. Other American cars don’t sell here because you’d need your own oil field to keep them fueled. All European cars run on a cr2032 and some salad dressing.

My mom had one for a while in the early 90's. Much newer than the one in this video. I remember the crazy body roll in corners. Like it would flip over anytime. Also how all the specific things like opening a window, fixing the rolled up roof with those too tight clips, or opening that vent when things fogged up felt…

“Could get awkward”? It’s Trump. He’s the living embodiment of awkward.

Circuit Park Zandvoort is owned by some Dutch royal. They secured only partial funding, no permission from the province of North-Holland and will run into a lot of issues when they want to change the track or build anything around the track. The pit boxes are tiny. So is the paddock. To make those bigger the track has…

That rule should apply to jeans too.

It looks so... happy.

The rear reminds me of Miss Piggy’s face.

How lovely of Uber to help the men in SA enforce their suppressive laws.

In Europe they’re called the NX100. I have owned a 1.6 liter version for a few years. It was a fun little car until the chassis had rotten away and it was too expensive to weld. Sold it to some hack who wanted to weld it himself. Dude drove off with the wheels spinning. A week later he came back to ask a partial…

It’s an American thing. People in Europe boat/horse and camper trailer etc. too but no-one in his right mind would drive something like that. It is considered overkill. First, it would require you to get another license because the truck will be registered as a semi. You couldn’t park anywhere (won’t fit) and turning…

Wasn’t horsepower about how fast you can go, torque about how quick you get there? I don’t get the obsession with HP’s in any other situation than on a salt flat. Weight and torque are so much more relevant to actual performance. Thinking of it, HP without drag coefficient might also be a worthless indicator of…

Should’ve told that to Trump senior.

Even a puny 1.6l nowadays pulls its host in sub 7 seconds to 60 mph. Performance is so much more than just the number of horsepowers.

I liked the manual wiper interval setting on these. And the roof was fun. You don’t even need the horsepower when driving with the top open. There’s so much noise and wind you don’t want to go above 90 metric kiloyards an hour anyway. Also, it is a total death trap with a crumple zone that ends somewhere right behind…

No. Bluetooth is fine. CarPlay is awesome. I like the bt connectivity in my standard head unit. Recently I used CarPlay in a rental car and it was even better. Connected in no time and playing music was so easy. And I could safely (and legally) interact with my iPhone while driving. Cables break all the time, besides…

I didn’t even notice those before. Guess I must hit the dust with the tips of my fingers when resetting the trip counter at not exactly the right moment. Probably while in a chicane.

So close.
