If someone acted like that on any Bimmerfest thread, they’d be thrown out on their ass. Even if they were Barack Obama, let alone the head honcho of a little known, niche tuning company.

Yessssss! Except for when you’re reminded that you’re overweight because the punk 12 year old pulls away from you on the straights.

Found it! Season 17, episode 1. BMW 1M.

Interesting. Were the headers off? Supposedly factory BMW headers are extremely restrictive, as they include the catalytic converters.

One of my favorite “some say” moments!

I actually like the newer bumpers; I think it adds to the sleekness of the design really well.

Jeez, wide angle much?

Not reliable, but unmistakably pretty.

Ha! I highly doubt it. The Monterey community that has a stranglehold on the track would throw a fit.

I don’t understand why people say they’re so unreliable. They require a bit more preventative maintenance, and the electronics in the head unit/check control/computer are a bit dodgy, but what else really goes wrong with them?

And yet my grandfather, a 5’6”, 120lb 72 year old, wants one. Why?? He won’t be able to see the end of the dashboard, let alone the hood. Truly an awful platform.

Fascinating. Kinda sad, too.

I have toured it! It’s not nearly as well sorted as the Midway... yet. They’re still in the process of opening a lot of the areas for public access. Being an old military ship, it’s difficult to make things accessible for normal people. It’s still really cool, and take a swing by the old SS Lane Victory if you’re…

Dammit, two in one?!

Yikes. Glad I’m able to use that data on my iPhone!
