Technically the alternator is always running and creating some sort of drag on the engine. At low electrical loads there is a surplus of electricity and if the battery is fully charged the extra just gets shunted off as heat right? I know motorcycles have rectifiers that do this and I am assuming cars have them as…

It’s just one more aspect of BMW’s “Efficient Dynamics” program.

Early 90's Nissan Sentra?

I agree, the BMW hits the Nissan as well, the Nissan is heading straight in the lane but is then knocked into the shoulder from the impact of the BMW hitting the rear fender. I would also guess that the BMW over corrects to try to miss the Nissan and that causes it to veer under the trailer.

The BMW CPO offer is only for a 24 month loan, I posted a reply a couple of hours ago but it’s still pending.

I was excited about the BMW CPO rates until I read the disclaimer and the 0.9% rate is only for a 24 month loan. Who is going to buy a used brown 3 Series wagon with a payment of $1,000 a month?

I haven’t thought about the Vector W8 this millenium until I saw this picture and I instantly remembered reading an article about in Car & Driver in 8th grade. Still love the looks.

The LFA was so expensive since it had a special fuel tank for Liquid Schwartz

My wife would save me, she would give me the stink-eye to behave like an adult before it got out of hand.

Check out how much it moves when you walk on it! I would totally be jumping up and down on that to scare the shit out of everyone else on the bridge.

That Porsche has me thinking about a lot of stupid things I could do with it. Doesn’t look like there is any window glass either but that’s just better to hear the V8 better. Not a fan of the color but the widebody is giving me tingles.

I want a 3 series wagon with the M-Sport package in this color blue so bad. They are just now coming down to non-ludicrous pricing but it’s nearly impossible to find them in blue, seems every dealer ordered them in black, white or some shade of brown/gray.

Pretty much all halogen headlights are garbage. My previous car had HID’s that would swivel a few degrees when you turned the steering wheel. I test drove my current car at night but didn’t pay attention to the headlights since the route was mostly lit with streetlights. When I got closer to my house where there are…

The cokehead or the AMG died?

I don’t want a large Farva, I want 16.2 liters of cola damnit!

When we were looking for houses my wife found a nice large house but it was way out in the boonies or what we thought were the boonies at the time. Once I saw the 4 car garage (3 wide with the middle space being a tandem) I was sold. We toyed with the idea of moving last year to be closer to work but everything we…

That reminds me it’s time to watch Cannonball Run 1 & 2!

I think you are right about it being a wrap as the exterior color is listed as Andesite Silver Metallic, which it obviously is not and it’s a 2014 model. The color makes the car look less funky and I keep going back to the listing, they have had it for a long time so maybe a low ball offer is in the works. I like the…

I had the same experience when I got one as a loaner when my 335i was getting the fuel pump replaced(again). I drove it around for the afternoon and had a blast stomping on the go pedal from every stop light. It also handles really well even with the skinny tires and is just plain fun to drive.

Great article, but what happened to the 50 BMWs that he had? Did he have to sell them to pay legal costs? Were they awarded to his wife in a divorce? Seized by the police as evidence? Seems like he could pay back some of the restitution buy selling the cars if he still owns them.
