Yes well you can blame the government for that. Insane mileage and emissions targets means this is the new norm. This is common knowledge, I thought.

If you think this is just a chip tune you’ve missed the point of this car massively. I suppose an M5 is just a chip tuned 550i....

M2 by a country mile. Far nicer interior, far more attractive, far better sounds, and I personally prefer RWD handling characteristics.

It’s racing, accidents happen. You can’t ban every car that’s spun a tire, there would be no racing of any kind ever anywhere forever and always.

I’m sure you would. I’m also sure you wouldn’t rather pay 5x as much.

I guess I need them then, listening to a burnout does nothing for me at all.

That’s only if it’s not one of the Jalopnik Approved cars - Volvo wagons, Miatas, and beat-to-shit American cars from the mid 80s and early 90s.

I agree with this

He’s free to comment here as is anyone else. Nobody should be forced to take their opinion somewhere else.

The modern left is full of people looking to be offended at every turn, to the point that they’ll make up stuff to get upset about if nothing exists.

Was this supposed to be funny or...?

?

What? They under-rate by a fuck ton, more than anyone, and have done so since they started using turbocharged engines regularly with the N54.

I will say, the Z8 Alpina seems to be a worse car than the regular one. It has a warmed-over M62 with a good bit less power than the S62 from the E39 M5 that’s in the regular Z8. Yes, it has a bit more low-down torque, but doesn’t sound as good, doesn’t rev as high, and doesn’t make as much power. Also has softer…

I’m not sure what you mean about the interior, there’s incredibly high quality leather everywhere.

...well, he’s the main character in the story, so....

No, it’s an anecdotal statement by someone who doesn’t understand luxury cars. The E38 was considered overly complex by idiots when it came out too. Let’s stop with this idiocy.

What is “excess luxury” I’m genuinely curious.

...how were you “uncomfortable” in one of the most comfortable cars ever made? You must be absolutely terrified of using a computer or a smartphone, since either one has even more functionality than the most advanced car you can buy today.
