That’s what I tell people. They’re engineered within an inch of their life. You can’t make it better. Every detail was carefully thought out and perfected before it left the drawing board. Down to the silver painted wheels. :-)

Be a BMW enthusiast that thinks the cars were beautiful, and with the perfect balance, speed, and power from the factory in a group of enthusiasts who are constantly seeking the next “better tune”, “more power”, “louder exhaust”, “lower ride height”, “bigger rims” and “bigger, badder, better” all the time.

I’m sure there’s still some Envoy XUVs out there that you could get for WAY cheaper.

I didn’t know that you got a new screen name, David Tracy. Welcome!

And in today’s edition of David Tracy’s “But I Can Justify This Purchase!”........haha

Oh, you mean this one?

I’d be curious to see what ACTUALLY happened to those BMWs (probably stupid drivers). I’ve driven through some pretty significant flood waters in my 328xi without any issues (this happens when you have clients in the middle of nowhere and have to take country roads where water is running from one field to another…

Our cars due that automatically during distress/accident. Don’t you go saying things that are untrue. We would NEVER use our turn indicators. haha

2045 might be a bit hopeful.

My BMWs DRLs are the high beams at a lower brightness. Which, in the dark, is still pretty fucking bright. Even though the car has Xenons. Which act as high beams and low beams. I guess they just needed a bulb to put in that center slot..........*scratches head*

No, but she did have some stereotypical responses to being told to leave the bus........

You can take the trip out of South Bend, but you can never take the South Bend out of the trip.......

When I was a much younger man (in 2002) I took a Greyhound from South Bend, IN to San Diego, CA on Thanksgiving Day because I needed a change of scenery, so I up and moved across the country with a friend.

This is how Americans sound to the rest of the world.......

Jeez Kristen. Claws in. That was sort of rough on Ballaban.

There, fixed that for you. My 2007 328xi has only ever had one ignition coil changed for $154 total at 145,000 miles outside of routine maintenance. Inline 6 is a pretty bulletproof engine until you add turbochargers. lol

Eh, I’d say we’re about 2:1. For every two decent dealers, there’s one overly shitty dealer ripping people off. *coughs* anything owned by Team Auto Group *coughs*

After seeing that beard, Ballaban, I only came to this conclusion.......

Everyone knows this is how Turbochargers really work, David. Geez.

I think this was a bad Chinese telephone rendition of an “Italian Tuneup”. My grandmother used to tell me to do this before I took my car in to be emissions tested. Of course, that was before they just used OBD to do it. lol
