Funny thing being that Putin speaks english fine, and I think German as well.

Having owned an e36 M3 and and an e46 M3, (and a vanilla e30) the E46 wins hands down over the e36. Better seats, better wheel, pretty much the same buttons in the same places. Plus the e36 interior does not wear very well over time (not that the e46 is great in this regard either).

Can find them used for a great price now, and that motor is very stout!

The image projected by bikes that are truly capable for this kind of riding is generally not compatible with the image a well heeled rider with adventuring aspirations would they themselves like to project. Enter manufacturers with the appropriate cachet willing to charge an appropriately well heeled MSRP. Of course…

More like Brofit margins, amirite?

I think you meant to say Jorge Lorenzo’s secret weapon, aside from his not so secret weapon of being the fastest man on a MotoGP bike circa now.

BeIn sports carries the races in the US also, if you are trying to be legal about it. MotoGP subscription is pretty good if you get hooked.

The interior looks heart achingly perfect. Amazing. I still have fond memories of my ‘84, and this is re-kindling my desire to find a nice IX.

Challenge to Germany: sports sedan with one door on the drivers side and two on the passenger side.

In your best Garrison Keillor voice: Love, it’s what makes Subaru, Subaru.

Bronzit will never die!

How do you like the Sling service? Good on a PC?

Pete’s cycle, Bel Air MD

Yeah, looks like Sling TV with the $5 sports extra add-on gets beIN for a grand total of $25. Hmmmmm.... Did Dorna just unwittingly undercut their own videopass?

I think Sling has it. Looking into it now, actually.

Dealer I got my VFR from had one of these on the showroom floor, used. I asked the salesman ‘what gives?’ Turns out it scared the piss out of the guy who bought it and he wisely brought it back.

“A word to the wise ain’t necessary - it’s the stupid ones that need the advice.”

Alternate title: Used German cars that will make you go broke for less than $30k.

Quite the coincidence, my mom is about to sign a lease on one of these. I had her drive everything in the category: BMW, Audi, Infiniti, Volvo, and Merc, but she likes the RC the best (as I kind of thought she would), and the Infiniti a distant second. She really liked the BMW but wanted more luxury. Priorities, huh?

Now that’s both of my 4 wheeled vehicles needing recall for this issue. Joy.
