Just speaking from my ownership experience. My 2004 e46 M3 admittedly had more than a few issues. My 2009 e92 M3 was pretty much flawless with one major issue handled quickly under warranty. I’ve had my 2015 f80 M4 for 3 years now and its been perfect on the reliability front. The early *35i cars with the S54 have a…

Meh, while I’d like to see them do something it isn’t particularly needed. The M cars are beastly quick and for all the hate they get, they still win most of their comparison tests against the competition. There’s a reason Chris Harris has a current gen M3 as a daily. Are they less special because they’re no longer…

Gattis is by far the coolest guy in baseball. Dude looks like he can take down a couple of buckets of beer, win a barfight and then hit a home run all in the same day.

wrong post. Deleted

Welcome to the Tech Bubble 2.0. There are loads of companies pretending to be tech companies when the reality is way more mundane. WeWork is actually a commercial real estate company, Tesla is actually a car and battery company, Hampton Creek is actually a condiment company and Juicero was actually a juice company.…

Minute Maid in Houston is much better this year. Its not hot dogs but there’s a Torchy’s tacos, a proper bar and much, much better beer that anybody with a ticket can walk to and get. I’ve watched entire games from there standing up drinking at the bar and eating tacos.

Nazi lives don’t matter.

I can’t believe I’m even typing this out but Jason Torchinsky has the best suggestion here. Buy a brat. Use the money saved to self warranty.... or a wrx engine swap if you are a raving lunatic.

I disagree with the economic left on everything from redistribution to overregulation to anticompetitive subsidies to high corporate tax rates but the one thing I do agree with them on is that a tax cut on the current personal tax rates is stupid and will do absolutely nothing for the economy beyond add to the…

Its not decided at all and even if they try to push an unreasonable one, the federal government can withdraw the waiver they have on their own rulemaking. My guess is that it will be a show “ban” like the UK and France announced. Its only a ban on all new pure ICE cars. Even the lightest amount of hybridization would…

I hope he makes a full recovery. I’m a Penguins fan and don’t really see much of him outside of a few highlight clips here and there. I knew he was great but after watching him in the playoffs last year I’ll call him the best all round hockey player on the planet.

This has to be the coolest car I’ve ever seen. What a build. I’d pay huge money to see James May review it.

As long as the players make clear this isn’t about disrespecting the soldiers and first responders but about exercising their right to free expression by protesting a president who’s completely deserving of contempt, disrespect and hate, I don’t see why this can’t actually become an effective marketing tool for the…

This has to be a joke... right?

I wouldn’t shut the door on an AM badged Mercedes just yet. I’m sure getting Verstappen as part of the deal would be enough to change their mind (I think Red Bull would prefer to keep Ricciardo). The 1 year extension for Bottas makes it very clear that Mercedes has some sort of long term plan for its drivers beyond…

One of these or a 991.2 Turbo S?

If Honda, with all of its resources and experience hasn’t been able to get it right in 5 years of development, theres no way somebody not already on the grid is going to be able to make it happen. It could be Honda for the 2019-2020 window and this announcement could be about their partner in 2021. It could actually…

Aston Martin doesn’t have the resources, staff or facilities to build an all new F1 PU for 2019. Even if they did it wouldn’t make any sense because there will be all new engine regulations for the 2021 season. If Aston was to get involved it would simply be as a rebranding of a customer Mercedes PU. That’s not…

This. I’m sure brand snobbery plays some part, particularly at the German entry level end of the market but the bigger deal here is the dealership experience and lease deals. The sub par dealership experience is why Cadillac can’t seem to break the German + Lexus stranglehold over the market even with very competitive…

Call me crazy but I’m a fan of his work. The e60 5 series still looks fresh and current 10 years later, particularly when compared to the already dated looking F10. The e60 M5 in particular is a masterpiece, just the right combination of restraint and menace in its design.
