Considering BMW M’s Facebook page posted the second photo stating that the new M5 is going to be in the game I suspect they coordinated this effort with EA.

And here I thought you meant blinkers.

Find a mechanic you trust and get along well with. I try to do most work on my car myself, but I have a shop (Prova Motorsports in Seattle) I call when I get in over my head or don’t have the time or tools to fix something myself. I even asked them if there was anything they could do about my noisy brake pads, I don’t…

Ha, good thinking!

Not going to call you out, as you already proved your worth! But technically that cabriolet is missing the wide-body fenders and bumpers of the M3. But that rear bumper is not OEM, so definitely some sort of kit installed. Also having a right-side exit exhaust is unusual. Definitely would be interesting to hear the…

The difference is that if everyone in NYC had hydrogen powered cars, the hydrogen could be shipped in from anywhere in the world, just like fossil fuels are today. If there is a blackout, people may have to wait in line, but at least there would be an outside source for fuel. Yes - the global electricity production…

In some vehicles, yes, you can tell a difference between the softest, plushest ride setting and the hardest, most aggressive one. Not in the M2. The ride was stiff regardless of the suspension settings.

The driver of the camera car had nowhere to go. However, after the impact, he rolls off the throttle, and cuts all the way from the right side of the track to the left, putting another fast approaching car out onto the dirt. So all in all, this was an accident, but the same behavior that caused the first accident and…

“I don’t think it’s really the fault of the drivers, though.”

I sold my 83 sr-5 in 2005 for $50. Needed paint and a tune up, and I had just bought a scirocco and needed it gone so I didn’t have two insurance payments. While that car was not all that nice to drive around, it was a ton of fun to pretend to be a rally driver in a 70hp rwd 5sp. I don’t know how I made it past 16.

I find the new show hard to watch (didn’t finish the first episode), but I found this second episode bearable. I agree Evans did a poor job presenting the F1 GTR, with practically no interesting footage, which was an absolute shame. But to say the 675LT will be forgotten in a couple of years is a bit brash. It may…

Hmm, I am confused. Am I alone in thinking that Skoda in America is a good thing, as is a 4-door M2? I think the Skoda Yeti is a wonderfully practical car for the out-doorsy type. I also think a 4-door M2 would be just that much sweeter than the 2-door. Probably for similar reasons to why I prefer the e36 M3 sedan…

The same rules apply no matter how many lanes there are. You should not move into a lane to your left unless making room for traffic merging onto the highway or passing a car in that lane. After passing you should move back into the right-most lane.

I think the part that is missing in this comment, is you should never pace anyone. Passing lanes are meant for passing, if you are going to go the same speed as someone in the next lane over you should not be in the passing lane to begin with. If you don’t feel like there is a safe enough gap to make the pass yet then…

The late model e30 M3's had the base model’s air-bag equipped steering wheel slapped in.

Fair enough, I can’t argue with that. Everyone comes from different walks of life and will have a different take on what $1250 is worth.

The exec pack has nothing in it that I would miss. Not sure why I would pay an extra $1250 for options I don’t need/want. I have PDC on my e91, I could take it or leave it. I don’t have it on my e30, and can still back it up without hitting things. I have driven cars with rear view cameras, they aren’t really any…

You seemed to have left out that Dinan charges ~$8.5k in parts + labor for all these changes (not including the wheels!). Surely $53,947 is not the total price it would take to build this M235i yourself, considering the car itself modestly equipped in Alpine White and black sensatec seats is a bit over $48.5k. Over…

Dinan performs the changes on your own personal M235i, so you can bring them a manual car instead of an auto. This specific car that was tested though happened to be an auto.

The ///M badge is shared by the M Sport line now, so an M Sport 428i will have a bunch of ///M badges. Though for these cars the only external ones would be 1 on each wheel, the rest would be on the inside.
