I really liked using an extractor with my E46 and W211 with the filter easily on top of the engine bay...  Now none of my cars have a dipstick and are porsches so the filters are on the bottom anyways...

The problem with my 997 cupholders is that they bounce a lot so any latte with foamed milk will expand and spill out.

Yeah, but you get to use the express exit customs line after baggage claim, which can save you 20-30 mins on the back end too

Probably needed those switchbacks to add some regen braking points so the cars could make it a full race distance.

Android Auto isn’t new -- my 2017 has it.  Oh, and welcome back from Gizmodo :D

Or BMW can stop setting their speedometers from reading 5% too fast.

That’s because 2016 Volts and 2017s sold before Jan 1, 2017 all lost their carpool stickers this year...

Except for the Expedition, which is probably the old model, all of those are basically Hertz fleet vehicles...

I’ll just note that Superbowl Sunday at Disneyland is actually one of the busier days of the year, but everything else is totally empty

Yes, and you can apply factory and local incentives as well.  Also, you can finance and lease, though you may be paying for 2-3 months without the car in hand if you lease.

You don’t need to make any special trips in the US.  You pick it up at your local dealer. I’ve even heard of some BMW dealers who will deliver you the car even if you don’t buy from them, say order the car through a specialized Euro Delivery dealer in Arizona, and pick up the car at your local dealer in Calabasas. …

My small 8 and 7 year olds love the back seat -- With a cheap booster they can see out the window and have ‘OK’ leg room.

Actually, take off the body panels and you have a rather underequipped BMW Z4 with a last gen infotainment

Nice, sounds just like my 340i....

When I rent I always look for Malibus  because they almost always have Apple Carplay installed.  Altimas and Sonatas and Optimas don’t...

I look for shots, not for blood draws...

SPAM would make a worthy bologna substitute -- and add a little aloha :)

I’ve owned every 3 series since the E30 up to the F30, and the best in my opinion is the E46. Mine was a ‘00 328i and it was the best looking (still is if you find a clean one) and had the right amount of power with great driving dynamics. Now that I’m a fat 40 something dad, I’ve kinda quit the compact sedan segment…

on his mobile phone, while on his computer, while turning on his emergency flashers to cross a red light because he’s impatient... Yup, those are the cops in my neck of the woods.
