I’d rather have cheaper Bings that are easier to set up and maintain, personally. That is a nice airhead with the exception of outdated poor front brakes.

I see a lot of K bike fans commenting and many posted some photos of some really good looking K-bikes. I know owners love these bikes, for good reasons. As a BMW airhead fan who owns two classic airheads, I love all things BMW so I wanted to love the K75. I borrowed a friend’s K75 similar to this one and sadly I hated…
Now that is a sweet K! It is really hard to make a gorgeous naked K bike but you have nailed it my friend.
Hot-rodding old outdated cars or bikes is a great way to individualize them and often times improve them or make them more desirable and valuable. People used to scoff at me for hacking up a BMW “classic” airhead that I bought for $2800. I butchered that piece of crap and built a custom that BMW loved so much they put…
With AWD and winter wheels on my F31 BMW wagon, it is unstoppable unless the snow is unplowed and over 8 inches! Which is pretty rare. Only once did I have to drive in 8 inches of snow before the plows came. That was the one time I wished I had a F150 with snow tires.
yikes. What kind of problems do you see with the 4 banger BMW engines? Mine is at 55,000 miles and out or warranty.... (also I managed to get my second free transaxle for my AWD.. that seems to be the weakest link in the driveline by far)
Correction: My 8-speed M-Sport is AWD and is an absolute beast in the snow with my dedicated winter wheels with X-Ice tires! But no swamp-dripping jet ski is allowed into my interior, so you win!
A fine car, your old 5 series... no bigger than my AWD beast with a much faster shifting 8-speed that also gets 32 mpg on the highway, but I like all BMW wagons, and the manual in yours is more fun to drive. I know the E39 well. A simpler car with far less things to break than my F31, but for a daily driver there is…
Mazda 6 wagon would be awesome here, and it is a nicer car than the CX-5, but let’s be honest here. Mazda doesn’t have it here for the same reason that BMW is canceling the North American wagon- people aren’t buying wagons here at a rate that the car company would make a profit. If they would make a profit, they would…
YEAH MO-FO!!!! That’s what I’m talkin about!!! I ahve the same Bimmer wagon. Well, the newer body style. I am SO bummed BMW decided to not bring the next model to the USA in wagon form. Here is a pic of my car carrying two huge wood slabs to make an L-shaped desk. The side slab seen on top is 8 feet long. All fit…
It really is gorgeous. (The new V60 and also the new v90) . Maybe I don’t need the sporty handling on my family car. 99.9% of the driving I do with our daily driver is either around town light to light or on straight highways. It is quite rare that I get to push my staggered sport tires close to their lateral limits.…
dude, my M-sport wagon was 60k back in 2014! Custom ordered with just about every option. But yeah, I guess that makes me off the side of every bell curve. I do see similar spec BMW wagons from time to time but it is a weekly or monthly appearance, not a daily one.
yeah it must be a neighborhood thing... In my little town on Long Island’s north shore, there are half a dozen F31 wagons. Wagons overall are popular in my neighborhood. Sure not as much as SUVs or sedans, but people still buy them. I have a feeling their buyers are like me, and they wouldn’t have any other type of…
ARRGG!!! Say it ain’t so. Dammit BMW, you just lost me possibly after being a new BMW buyer since my first 1999 M3. My current car, a 2014 M-Sport 3 series wagon, is the best car I have ever owned. ANd I still own my 2004 M3 which is a fun car but very narrow in scope compared to the do-it-all M-sport wagon. My wagon…
If you think this board is cool you should have seen the original one back in the 80's. I saw it working in a Sharper Image store and it was around $3000 back then.

The HUD in my BMW is so good that I would rather loose the actual gauge cluster than my HUD. It is simple science that it is safer and quicker to read a HUD than to scan down and refocus your eyes on various sections of your dashboard. You admit that NAV is useful in a HUD only if you are in unfamiliar places.... Uh,…
Interesting. I had the same Vtec Is Prelude in ‘92. It was that deep teal color too which was just gorgeous. I really loved that car and I own an E46 M3 too and a 3 series 2014 M-sport wagon as my daily driver. I often think back that the Prelude was probably the best driving car I owned before my M3 or maybe my…
the sun. Past Mars. The rockets fired a bit longer so the car will be somewhere in the asteroid belt.
The ‘99 M3 I had was a fine car for a two year lease but even in 1999 it wasn’t a fast car. Today the E36 is just dated. The E46 was better in every way and an E46 M3 like the 2004 I have owned since it was new can actually keep up with modern sports cars of today. Maybe not 0-60 but on a road course, an E46 M3 can…
Can’t stand that fake speech so I had to stop watching. Sorry Anker, you lost one possible customer.
