Ok cool

The L405 Range Rover, which D7 platform is used to build the Jaguar XE saloon car, would like to disagree with your definiton.

Your definiton is at least partially flawed. JLR/Jaguar-Land Rover uses the premium lightweight architecture, also known as the D7 platform. The D7a variant is used for the Jaguar XE and XF car models as well as the Jag F-Pace and Range Velar, while the D7u is used for the classic Range Rover (L405) and the Range…

I’m sorry mate but your definition is flawed, at least when it comes to European SUVs. In the UK, JLR/Jaguar-Land Rover has something called the premium lightweight architecture/PLA, also known as the D7 platform. The D7a variant is used for the Jaguar XE and XF car models as well as the Jag F-Pace and Range Velar,…

Soo... E36 M3 (yeah US versions got nerfed) and E39 M5, cool but still, M’s should (and mostly do) have a better reputation than that. Even in V8 Burgerland. Shame you didn’t drive an M on a decent track - completely different experience. Regarding wheel bearings - nope, never an issue, and the X5 ran on fairly large…

Ouch. Well now I feel kinda sorry that those were your most memorable experiences with Beemers. I’m guessing the M3 was an E36 or E46 model and that the M5 is an E39 or E60 model (you know what, if he really expects 2k in reps after that little time then it must be the V10 E60...)

I spelled it out once before when commenting and Kinja decided it was best to keep my post pending and not publish it even if it was intended to be used in a similar context. Wanted to change it to “nearly murdered” but I thought, who cares? Apparently some do. I hope that wasn’t the only impression you took out of my…

Coming from a somebody who probably never driven or even sat an an M car, let alone a BMW. I believe you are confusing the term “reliable” with “expensive running costs”. In addition this was a track prep from a third party, and while Apex is fairly top-notch when it comes to ‘Ring rentals remember 1) Apex knows that…

Ok boomer

Refined experience = nostalgic bullshit?

Ah, I see that this was the day that Jason switched from 87 octane rated to 94 octane rated fuel for his daily petrol sniff.

Compared to the S Class and the new A8, how does the interior hold up in the “wow factor”? For someone very familiar with older BMW interiors the new one still seems more evolutionary instead of revolutionary (such as when MB went from the W221 to the W222 S Class). Also, does the grille grow on you after driving it…

ALL 4-seater drop tops look bad you say? The S-Class Convertible would like a word with you...

(Had to post again because of Kinja’s 15min edit rule)

Please don’t talk about Porsche engineering if you have no knowledge about the history of Porsche and what they did. The very first four-wheeled Porsche was electric (1898 Porsche P1). Porsche was one of the first companies to put a diesel-electric drivetrain into a ground vehicle (VK4501 “P” also known as the Porsche…

Well, yes, but no - there are quite a few examples of 4.5 or 5 litre N/A engines which make 500hp or more and are also very drivable/manageable (throttle response, idle noises, NVH, etc.) at non-racetrack speeds, for example C6 ZO6, F430 Scud, 458 Italia (and Speciale) R8 V10 (and Gallardo/Huracan but they all share…

Okay... I seem to grasp your point of view better now, and while I meant the median income of car enthusiast communities of other countries (not individuals), after seeing some gallup data I noticed that US median income sits pretty high on that list so my point was indeed moot. However I’m now even more confused as…

Not you again?! First you complain about Brabham bringing back a production vehicle and now this? Seriously what is it with you and your urge to justify your position that new, expensive-ish sports cars and super cars are uninteresting just because YOU cannot afford it? WHO ELSE CARES? We dont know your income and you…

Huh, didn’t know that Porsches' new consultants for rear end dimensions and styling were Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj

Also, new supercar models usually come out first with the coupe version, which many ppl get who want the new, “hot” model right away, while topless enthusiasts have to be patient if they want a retractable roof on super/hypercars nowadays
