My ‘15 F30 335i and F10 535i both start with W.

Introduced to the brand by a family friend who passed of cancer when I was in middle school. I’ve learned two things from him in that smoking is bad and the love for BMWs is real.

I’d seriously consider this to replace my FiST next year

Which is exactly why I got rid of my Sierra Denali as the warranty ended. At some point something would break and cost a small fortune to fix.

Yes, good luck on “ordering” a VW... any VW. You’re at the mercy of what VW sends dealers.

It would help if there wasn’t up to a two year wait at some Mercedes dealerships (Hawaii).

With all of the tuning support from Mountune, Cobb, and others you can basically “build” (or at least get close to) what a Fiesta RS could be less awd with off the shelf parts today. The little car is a riot even with a mild tune and a few bolt on parts.

The thing I don’t get with the GLE is they have base halogen headlamps and upgrade to LED lights. Why not start with Bi Xenon and upgrade to LED? I get that it’s due in part to cost. But a lot of the competitors in this segment start with something better than halogen headlights so why not build that into the base…

Agreed. Sharing too many interior parts with the ML/GLE will only go so far when they start trying to compare the GL/GLS to the S Class.

Third row space and cargo room behind the third row. This is more of a competitor to the Escalade/QX80 than to the GX. GX is a great SUV and is likely more capable off road even if the GL is optioned with legitimate low range but the GL is certainly bigger.

I really like the rear 3/4 but I guess repair bills won’t matter as much with a $100k car when the driver backs this into something.

And brown...

Meh, it’s something I’d pay a little extra for in the car rental lot. But unlike Volvo’s new and exciting models there’s not enough wow there to consider actually spending money on. Door handles are cool. But who buys a car just because of that?

I’m happy they’re introducing Avalanche Grey and would seriously consider that or Lithium (if it’s offered). Picked up my first aluminum F150 two weeks ago and would likely get one in a shade of primer grey these to replace my ‘14 Platinum. I just hope the local dealers won’t be so greedy with the markup on first and…

The Volvo does look amazing. Both inside and out. If there’s no issues with the twincharged motor or you plan to lease and let the next owners worry about it later then IMO it’s worth giving the Volvo some serious thought. I’m limited where there’s no Volvo service center where I live part of the week and can’t swap…

I had to get used to the airy feeling of the F15 where everything from stomach level and higher in the X5 feels so much more open. Even more open than my F150s (steel and aluminum bodies), Superduty, and F10 5 series. Steering weight (there’s no feel to either) is better in the X5 than ML but still not great in the…

Went from a 2013 ML350 to an M Sport X5 s35i. Based on my experience with the N55 in my F10 535i the only issue I’ve had wasn’t with pumps but rather with the typical light oil consumption. On average with that motor a quart in between the annual service has been the norm.

These are colors that were popular in the stone industry in the early 1990s. Grein Tec and Antolini have other thin slabs that look much better than the dated stone options Bentley is rolling out.

Car has been sitting since 2010/2011. I can think of an R129 SL (maybe an older 500) and E39 540i that’s also been sitting for a very very long time in Waikiki. Pity these cars don’t get used. I would also guess the owner is from Japan/Hong Kong/Taiwan/Snow Belt. They usually buy the car, plan to use it, have title to…

I found an abandoned first gen designo ML320 in a San Francisco parking garage a couple of years ago. Flat tires, doodles on the windows. Lots of dust... And this was in a garage associated with a well known (and nice) hotel chain. In their defense I don’t think a tow truck would fit up/down the ramps. They also had a…
