You yourself almost suffered the same fate as this man, and you want to be flippant about him filing a lawsuit? Sounds like a good and just lawsuit to me. A door latch should not be anything you need to read a manual to open. What if your car fell in a lake and lost power? Fine time to start reading the manual.

Not sure about the specific owner’s manual at issue, but the last two vehicles I bought have owners manuals that are too big for the glove boxes and center consoles. There’s usually a portfolio containing Owner’s Manual, Owner’s Quick Start Guide, Warranty Manual, Maintenance Book, Infotainment Manual, Roadside…

This is not a standard 5 with an M badge, this is regarded as “the best M5 ever made”. I would argue it is not personally but many would agree the E39 M5 the legend that took BMW to the very top, this chassis & model is regarded to be legendary status when it comes to driving experience. Since the prices on these…

Because it’s an extremely special car and quite possibly the best looking sedan that BMW has ever produced. This was the first M car I was ever a passenger in and it will make a driver feel things that no 2019 BMW M5 w/ 600hp can ever come close to.

so many reasons. first off,as you noted it doesn’t seem like something too special. that is why probably 90% of these are destroyed or very well used by now. It was almost 80K new in 2002.

secondly, it WAS special and is RARE it was the last of the classically styled bmw’s and it had a ~400HP and ~400lbft of torque…

This is the correct answer.

Hint, it isn’t....but don’t tell the people that don’t have $176,000 and swear they’d spend every last penny of it on one.

If pilots designed cars. 

Why not just claim that the accelerator pedal was “stuck”?

that wouldn’t happen in a camry.

Huh, your link doesn’t seem to work for me, may I suggest an alternate?

Agree to a decently large extent. You just have to also teach your kids that’s it’s more than ok, it’s actually heavily encouraged, to say “fuck off” and walk away from anything and everything that is not 100% kosher with them. What their “friends” (or even worse strangers) think of them is completely irrelevant and…

How DARE YOU sell that gorgeous machine!

Sounds like you & David Tracy share some of the same disorders!

Indeed there could be some reasons for that, apart from the fact that it’s quite difficult to imagine the Swedish willingly torching their own cars...

“Extremely bright reverse lights that can be “flashed” while moving forward so that you can let the asshole behind you know that his fucking brights are on.”

I also heard that if you just take it without paying for it, it’s free. #lifehack!

So it was an enjoyable shopping atmosphere.

BYOA

That is a bit of an Archimedean question. Next you will be asking for a place to stand too.
