Oh, you’re expecting the wrong sort of commenter. They’re going to insist that the drivers need to install better TIRES. Not that the bridge needs better signs.

Kaputnik, it’s a legitimate pain in the dick. Push this button, hold this button, the car has to be off, and then turned back on, and then you pray to the BMW gods that you pressed the buttons in just the right order, or the whole things just sets itself on fire.

Don’t know what that’s like, I drive a BMW F30. They hide the wipers behind the hood cowl. Can’t raise them unless you put them into service mode every time. And fuck that. lol

It’s a legacy feature that is there for no purpose but nostalgia, really.

I dunno if I’d take advice from someone who drives a Yugo on how much horsepower is the right amount of horsepower.

It’s a bold statement from the biggest prissy diva in Formula One.

Definitely the most terrifying test included the BMW 325 convertible,

BMW culture in general is pretty nice. But not in a “hey, your car is so cool!” way, it’s more of a “oh, I’m sorry man, we all feel your pain about that *insert expensive CEL diagnosis* problem you’re having.” And if you have an N54-powered BMW, there’s quite literally support groups for grief and trauma. haha

My dad bought me an ‘86 Chevette 2-door with a 3-speed slushbox in it. I refused to drive it after going for a ride with him to the store one night. We were on the highway doing about 70, and I asked him why we weren’t going any faster. He said “I’ve got the pedal to the floor, that’s as fast as it’ll go.” Once we got…

In an internal memo:

It was all original, in somewhat crappy shape, but it molded what I wanted to drive for the rest of my life. The soft, comfortable ride, the ample, but not overwhelming power, and plenty of cabin room. :-)

This was the first car I got behind the wheel and drove. 1970 Cutlass Convertible.

The 7 Series also has BMW Connected, which will do most of those functions besides actually being an ignition fob. And you know biometric authentication with the car via app isn’t far away. lol

It’s insane how that works, but I guess an auto factory is a better use of taxpayer money than a sports stadium.

Please tell me more about these architecturally interesting and tasteful buildings the Federal Government is building everywhere. Short of the ones that are 100+ years old, they all pretty much look like this:

Hopefully those Pirelli P7s are better tires than the garbage Pirelli Cinturato P7s they’re putting on cars now.......

I remember sitting in lines BLOCKS long to get into a gas station when they dropped their gas price to 79 cents per gallon. Gas stations have sold fuel for SEVENTY NINE CENTS PER GALLON since I’ve had my driver’s license. And (despite the fact that I’m old now), was only in 1998. Not in 1970. Not in 1980. NINETEEN…

This storyline has already been done. It’s called “The Transporter”.

I will honestly admit, I had no clue this was real. Although the hole in the floorboard makes it look like they took the drivetrain and trans out of a Ford Aerostar, which did actually come with a factory 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-cylinder.
