But be honest...you’d put up with the music for the IMAX version of the video, no? And just wait a couple of years when you’ll slap on the VR goggles and get the pilot’s eye view.

MAKE BREAKFAST GREAT AGAIN!

Air pollution isn’t the problem it used to be since we’ve cleaned up our act over the last 30 years. But there are still places (.e.g Nashville, Salt Lake City, LA) that have issues because of population density, weather patterns (see inversions).

I drive this route on a regular basis to/from Charlotte and know the location by rote memory.

Bah. I have four real snow tires (Blizzaks, thanks for asking) that just came with the car. But they didn’t come with rims which would cost another $1,200 or so (used OEM). I spent my money on a good set of all-weather tires (Continental DWS and they’re fantastic) and have another set of rims that have actual summer…

No. I tried this last October-November-ish and the M235i had been out for a bit by then. I suspect that there are only certain cars BMW makes eligible for this program.

I actually tried that — if memory serves correctly the M235i was not available for that program. But I’ll check the M2 so thanks for the tip!

$51K? I doubt it. Having shopped around for an M235i, (MSRP in the mid-$40's) I think it’s safe to say that if you want an M2 be prepared to spend $60K. I dealt with four BMW dealers and only one would actually just give me a damn “out the door” price for the M235i. The others wanted to “discuss it” or (one dealer)…

If - &deity forbid - this goes mainstream they’ll be at least one YouTube channel dedicated to videos of how silly gesturing to your car looks to other drivers.

I’ll pass until the twin-turbo is on the dealer lots but I’ve got a coworker who drives his two-state territory in his leased Q50 and:

Obviously you are not familiar with the ways of BMW dealers.

If you really, really don’t care about what happens to you post-mortem then donate your earthly remains to a body farm...we have a lot of family ties to the University of Tennessee so theirs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universit…) is what’s specified with us. If nothing else you’re helping the science of…

Step back and savor the fifty years of technology you just saw...video and drone technology developed to fight the Commies, endless storage and CPU horsepower developed for NASA (and NSA) used to mix down the video, network technology only dreamed of in the first streaming porn days of the late 1990’s and all mixed…

Just take a picture of your car in front of the service bay. Use a 3/4 rear angle shot that shows A) your car, B) the license plate and C) some item that clearly identifies the dealer. Most recent phones will tag this with GPS data as well.

11. I had my hand up but apparently your back was turned.

Well, not me but my wife. She would always go on about how she didn’t give a hoot about what kind of car she drove as long as it was reliable, basic transportation. A long time ago we had the opportunity to buy a lightly used 1st gen Ford Escort. It was A) reliable, B) inexpensive and C) low mileage but it looked like…

Ah, crap. This is a little like reading the obituaries and seeing an old friend at the top of the list.

Nope. More like Charlie Wilson’s War.

Thank you for posting this video. Like others I have a morbid fascination on the forensics involved.

I’ve been out harassing BMW dealers in search of an M235i. They are decent little cars but the M2 is the package I want. The M235i is decent enough. It’s what I’d imagine a Miata built by the Germans would drive like. But it really needs an extra dose of grunt.
