The 530e is the real deal. Platform was designed for the hybrid portion. The 330e is kind of kludged together from the gas platform and suffers in both performance and mileage.

Diesels may be known for their longevity but there is still a lot of complicated BMW around it. So I will make my usual comment that spending significant cash for a depreciating asset with a high cost of ownership isn’t a good play.

It is better than most but the slopped roof kills storage and the floating roof look is just ick. 

You know when you see a parent of a small child trying to feign interest in some random crap artwork, or weed that they think is a flower their well-meaning but ultimately misguided spawn brings to their attention?

First of all, ND from me.

It was an unemployed homeless transgender athiest Muslim illegal immigrant homicidal rapist pedophile drug-lord kingpin from Mexico hired by George Soros, Barack Obama, and Bill Gates that was actually driving the boat.

Normally I would chide you for such an opinion, but then I looked at this thing. I don’t think there’s another vehicle design out there right now that better exemplifies the “bar of soap” aesthetic than this one. The profile looks like a default shape for an SUV placed on a switch or UI interface.

I’m not. I would under no circumstances drive that thing every day for a year.

I am still 50/50 on if i would accept 200k a year to have to drive this as my daily driver.

Funny how the setting in which the car is photographed can tell me as much about the neglect this car has endured than pictures of the car itself. Judging by the weeds creeping through the driveway cracks, the dirty garage door, and the unkempt bushes that are literally resting on the canvas top, I’d say this Miata…

Can you make the interior look like my Grandma’s bathroom towels?

I can’t decide if it looks like a normal Bimmer that sucked on a Lemon, or an Edsel after I got a concussion and had double vision.

You’ll have a better chance finding a pink elephant in the trunk than you will finding 600 HP under that awful hood.

Even including the supercharger’s cost, he’s mighty proud of the price he’s asking:

What are the odds that the crankcase is full of Motor Honey and that the bands in the trans are 1 micron thick?  I’d run away from this.  If it were stock, I’d be game at slightly less money.

Elon didn’t exactly buy Tesla so much as muscle his way in. 

And there were/are still issues doing it that way.

News Flash: Starting a car company is very, very hard. That’s why Elon bought one instead of creating one.

“BM Sauce” is making me think of something much less appetizing... :(
