Did any of the engineers give any indication of whether or not there would be a roadster version? I would imagine, being based on the 370 architecture, that it would not be too difficult to make a reality. Give me this in a rag top and I’ve found a replacement for my Z4!

Fellow Z4 owner here! Mine is named Heidi Klum 😁

I’m like 98% sure that's the old customer shuttle limo from Don Beyer Volvo in Falls Church, VA. Former employee here!

Actual question: Does this rule apply when a vehicle’s name is random letters that are pronounced independently? Like a Cadillac CTS or a Lincoln MKZ - would it be ATSs or MKZ’s?

We’ll all miss you, Patrick! I’ll be sure to keep up with you over at The Drive!

Unfortunately my customers don’t have the luxury of maintaining just the engine and instead need to maintain the entirety of the vehicle that surrounds it.

As the manager of the BMW team at an independent euro-specialist auto shop, these things are maintenance nightmares starting around this mileage. Unless you can get extensive service records showing some of the major things have been completed, I’d steer clear. 

I really wanted to like this bike and I truly do applaud HD for doing something new for once, but I cannot for the life of me see why anybody would buy this beyond having more money than sense.

Nothing. 

I have a 2016 GSX-S1000F that I love dearly. It’s powerful, comfortable for hours on end, fuel efficient, and different! I’ve never seen another one in my couple years of ownership. The only thing I wish it had was cruise control for those long highway jaunts.

Feel free to come take it for a spin if you’re ever in DC!

That was probably 99% of my motivation for saving it!

Haha, the interior was definitely in need of good detailing and disinfecting, but the previous owner just did not take care of the major mechanical stuff so it eventually caught up to him. 

A little over 5 grand, including the cosmetic stuff (new front bumper, wheels, headlamp polishing kit).

Overall, cosmetically at least, it wasn’t too bad which is why I jumped in to save it. Needed a front bumper and a set of wheels and a good polishing/waxing but there’s no dents, no signs of previous wrecks, etc.

Not a question, just wanted to share my new mini-project car: an E85 Z4 3.0si. Got it for 200 bucks to save it from the scrap heap and have spent the past 9 months or so fixing it up!

I love it but when I look at the front all I can see is Dr. Finkelstein’s mouth.

I’m more of a lurker in these parts, but I had to chime in on this one. Currently on my 3rd Mazda 3 (I’ve had one in each generation), I can openly admit that I’m a Mazda fanboy who thinks Mazda can do no wrong. With that in mind, I can’t believe they downgraded the rear suspension to a torsion beam in this…

The bigger question here is how does Gizmodo afford having Fancy Kristen on staff?

What’s your favorite auto-related joke?
