If only my 1-series was slower... š Actually, I guess it is probably slower than this new M2 CS.
Yeah, as someone who generally loves Porsches, usable backseats in a two-doorĀ is the entire reason BMW exists to me, and itās why I got rid of my Cayman for a 135i, despite them being the same length. The trunk is nice, too.
Yeah, I keep my car pretty empty, and Iām tall with long arms, so it might makeĀ more sense for me. It also makes the car seem more open and sporty, fwiw.
The M2 is the best 2-door car available from any brand with a real, usable backseat. Plus, on a more shallow note, I wouldnāt be caught dead drivingĀ a pony car.
You might be surprised about the armrest delete. The armrest delete kit for the 135i/1M is one of my favorite mods. Itās more comfortable to me, it gets rid of rattling, and it looses weight.Ā
Theyāre really just not in the same category. The Tesla is āfantastic to driveā in a regular Mercedes sedan kind of way, not in a Porsche/BMW M sports car kind of way.
Sounds like a fantastic Veblen good.Ā
FWIW, other news outlets are saying this Ocean is supposed to be āaffordableā at under $40K.
Of course the Porsche is cooler. It has proper sports car handling, it is rarer (at least currently,) it has better build quality, and the brand has a race pedigree. Ā Some might even say being more expensive is cooler, too, but I wouldnāt agree with that.
āPorsche & Telsa > AMG & BMW Mā
Calling the FD RX7Ā the best looking non-NSX Japanese sports car isnāt an unusual take.
They didnāt even cut through the sheet metal. Those vents are as fake as a Civicās vents.Ā
Sweet. I saw them in the ā90s as a sixteen year old, and was blown away by Pete Steele. Dude had a whiskey bottle on a stool next to him, and heād drink straight from it and use it to play slide guitar on his bass...something I embarrassingly admit to copying later in life in my own bands. lol
Yeah, my car also has a cold start function. I now have a tuning program that can disable it, so Iāve been debating on whether to save my neighbors or the planet. lol
Some may be surprised to read this about a BMW driver, but I actually roll my car in neutral down myĀ driveway to the street before I start it (Iām not in a garage,) so that it doesnāt bother my neighbors in the morning, especially since they have a two year old.
None of them are great looking. Ā Even the E46 looks like a bar of soap with fender flares.
Yeah, I tried to draw the eye away from that saggy line with the black door handles. I also tried to add the performance side skirts of the white one you showed above, but they sent me the wrong ones, and then sold out worldwide. Argh.
Millenium Falcon Turbo!
