My automotive soul mate is the BMW E39 5-series. I own a 97 540i and have no desire for any other car... Except an '03 E39 M5. Oh yeah, that'd be my dream car.

Why's Amy Poehler driving it?

Car & Driver crashed an aluminum Audi S8. The repair bill for the front end damage: $30,000. No, seriously.

Wow! That's really sexy. I like how well they integrated light bars into the front. Not played out like most LED running lights . Probably because most cars can't pull off vertical lighting features like this can.

BMW Style 65 wheels from the E39 M5 will always be legendary. Maybe I'm biased, as I have these on my E39.

#3 is wrong, because the E39 doesn't actually have cup holders. What it has are flip-out plastic hinges that never open and snap off as soon as they do. When I bought my E39 all 4 were broken. I replaced them, and three months later, only one works. I'm pretty sure one of them was never even opened, and still broke.

Definitely E53 X5, looks like post-refresh, so 2004-6 if i had to guess

I love the fact that it's still on the E platform, not F

Is ever single car compared on the same criteria? As in Sonics are directly ranked against Ferraris on each aspect. It would make more sense if your ranked cars based on their actual segments, like real car magazines do. 0-60 in 8.0 seconds is pretty quick for this car's segment (Yaris, Fit, Fiesta), so I don't see…

Here's a thought. Let's put a super high tax on semi trucks and a tax break on freight trains, encouraging the use of the already extensive freight train system in the US, making semis only economically viable for local station to site transport. Freight trains are cheaper, much more efficient, and most of all, they…

I thought it was only in America that BMW drivers had that stereotypical attitude. That's hilarious that it's worse in Germany.

The gas powered Cruze Eco gets 42 MPG, albeit with a manual. This will be a hard sell for Chevy when diesel is more expensive. Yes it has more power and the auto gets 42MG, but it's also $5000 more expensive than the Eco auto. You'd NEVER make up the difference.

It's technically a little over 10 years now, but my friend just picked up a 740i for $4500 with 110,000 miles. This thing is super well built, not a single rattle, widescreen nav, every option a modern luxury car would have, plus it has a perfect balance of ride and handling. It drives like a new car, but was dirt…

I'd like to nominate the Tahoe Limited. It was a 2WD Tahoe with the Z60 police suspension setup, lowered 2", Bilstein shocks, 3.73 rear end gearing, limited slip diff, body kit and 120+ MPH top speed. Chevy didn't want to call it an SS for insurance reasons, but it was definitely sporty for a full-size, BOF 90's SUV.

During my senior year of high school, I got to job shadow Chip Ganassi Racing, and I was able to see this exact car in development. I didn't buy my first BMW until a few weeks later, and therefore wasn't obsessed with them at that point. But either way, it was a absurdly cool job shadow, compared to most of my…

Yaris or Mazda 2. Looks too small to be a PT Cruiser of Golf. Has amber turn signals and a forward mounted high stop light

Lincoln keeps trying to incorporate these retro cues in their modern designs with one piece tail lights, winged grilles, widespaced LINCOLN and bustle butts. The problem is these almost all came from the worst design periods in Lincoln's history. Cadillac had the retro cues right with the vertical taillights that were…

I always say something like "I saw a beautiful E30/E46 today". If they know the most popular of BMW chassis codes, they'll respond with something about M3s or BMWs. Then I know they're gearheads.

This Chicago craigslist BMW is parked next to the police car used in the Blues Brothers. Not to mention it's a very rare 325iX with a manual.
