Hate the whitewalls, but love these wheels! So cool, from a geeky perspective.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I hate these things, too.

“Not road legal”, huh? Well, it’s obviously in California. Where there are no state inspections outside the biennial smog check.

Last year was pretty cool for me, too; I got to shake Sir Stirling Moss’s hand! I was so excited!

Sad but true. I think e34 M5s, as the last hand-built M cars, will appreciate first.

Uh, the S62 is hardly a tuned-up M62. And the e60 will continue to depreciate for a few more years, manuals less so.

Considering the Equus does, I’d assume this will as well.

That’s a brilliant idea, actually. Going to steal it now... :)

You know, the guibo is actually a thing in BMWs... And I have a cracking one to replace. :/

I’m currently a Computer Science major; my typing skills are on point, but my basic understanding of electronics is getting a thorough workout. :)

Gotta love hot-air intakes. :/

I enjoyed it, too. I’m taking an introductory physics course right now, and we’re learning about stuff like resistance and serial vs parallel, etc, so it’s fascinating. Although I really, really want them to rip out that rear shelf crap and make a smaller battery area, with a custom floor for more cargo area. It

Mmm... Lovely.

And there’s the parts bin pieces we were missing...

Can’t really explain why, but I love the polished metal holes for speakers, in any car. Just really appeals to me.

Living in the same house as a 2011 Genesis, I concur. The HVAC and radio buttons lack the tactile feedback of the best interiors; my 03 e39's radio buttons are close to perfection, and I wish more cars had them. But they’re both far better than the Camry that my sister owns.

If you look at the chassis shots, it becomes clear that the entire car leans forwards, creating a long hood, even though it’s not huge proportionally. The seats are right in the middle of the car. The Lexus grille and swoosh headlights help to elongate the front.

To each his own; the only example of sidemarkers that I like is on the McLaren 570s.

Headlights are made in several parts, and, at least on the 01-02 e39, it’s fairly easy to simply open the assembly and replace the amber reflector with a chrome/black one. It might cost a few cents more, correct, but not much.
