Imagine a future where a cracked windshield costs $4000 to replace!

RE bench-marking:

What’s the best way to watch the Sky F1 coverage from the US of A (without moving back to the UK

Insane lean angles.  Cars are more popular but cycle racing > car racing.

Trouble is, that squadron of Facebook trolls seem to be more effective than any amount of hardware in neutralising adversaries...

Of course. Same management.

We are not disciplined enough to have nice things like this. America is not ready for no speed limits and topless beaches

it’s why it’ll never work...  nobody here knows “Slow Traffic Keep Right”

Came here to say this very thing. With great speed comes great responsibility.

My 128i was an auto, I sold it when I got laid off. When I found a new job, I decided to get another daily, a manual 128i was one of the cars I considered, but I couldn’t find one. I DD a 6MT E92 328i. The 128i is a fantastic little car. 

I got my 128 in 2013 with 4k km on it with m sport and Harmon..I just drive it in the summer..it is a blast to drive..I can wait until May!  Mine is in lemans blue..I had a 2008 3 prior..the new 3s are so big and love the heavy feel of the steering and 6spd manual

I’ve found there are time when it hesitates and seems a bit dimwitted, but over 99% of the time it is a fantastic transmission. That coupled with the exhaust makes downshifts a wonderful sonorous event.

Mine was black interior with DCT and moonroof. The moonroof made it that much easier to hear the glorious BMW Performance exhaust.

Mine was a DCT as well. Bay Area traffic coupled with the fact that it was the only one I could find. Actually a fabulous transmission.

Because you’ve never driven one.

When it comes to a small coupe that still has a usable backseat, there still isn’t anything I’d pick over an E82. Buy an E82 for cheap and spend another $5k on suspension mods, and you’ve got a fantastic car.  In 135i guise, it’ll be a rocket.

I love the 135is, especially in the deep blue. I’ve considered buying one as a summer car if I can find a well-maintained example.

God, this makes me miss my 135is. The E82 in just about any trim was incredible to drive.

I’ve just not been impressed with Infiniti in general. Their tech, and mechanical components in their cars seem at least one generation behind the competition (Germans), while not really providing any benefits from a reliability standpoint. Aside from being a couple thousand dollars cheaper there is zero upside to…
