After toiling and suffering with a 2004 545i with 62K orig miles, no one should buy a used BMW. I repeat, absolutely NEVER BUY A USED BMW unless it comes with a full factory warranty that includes servicing. MARK MY WORDS PEOPLE.

Congrats to these enterprising young men. They found a way to make money in a free economy and did it, and they enjoyed doing it the entire time. Pretty much the American Dream realized. Kind of awesome if you ask me.  Maybe they give money to charity as well, who knows?  Everyone in here sounds pretty salty about…

Another “defund the police” article. How brave of you. I actually agree that there need to be significant changes to policing with community-focused policing that is much more positively interactive than it is today, so maybe one of you writers who have a stage could consider taking a step in the direction of common…

Neat car and sort of interesting article, and no offense, but does anyone beside the writer read these articles before printing, like an editor? Quite a few spelling & grammatical errors, which I guess is OK, but isn’t this a professional site now?

Nothing like stereotyping all pick up truck drivers. But then again, that type of talk is cheered and touted here as spectacularly “woke” because your liberal views are the only views that could be right, considering that anyone who thinks otherwise is an ignorant redneck, eh?  Kind of funny how all of these open…

Not a fan, really.

Thanks for a great article Tom!

Is this where I put the obligatory, “There isn’t anything more expensive than a cheap BMW”?

Why did you hate the red?  The SB was a fairly uncommon color, but to me looked beautiful.  My brother-in-law had a new bronze one in 1983/4, and I always loved his so when this popped up at a Porsche dealer, I had to have it.  It was owned by a fellow who had several Porsches and who never drove it, hence the low…

I bought a 1984 944 with 11k orig miles in 1989 (it was a Sapphir Blau 5 spd and was essentially a new car) and I LOVED that car.  Measly HP rating, but it would wind up like crazy and once you got it into the power band, it was total fun to drive.  Kind of like a Miata where it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast…

And Nero fiddled while Rome burned. The point is that there is a morbidity rate of ~.026, and 90% of those who passed were either very elderly (who are easy to protect if proper precautions are taken) or those who are already immunodeficient (again, with proper precautions, they can be protected as well). The general…

The numbers related to COVID 19 do not support your fears regarding not reopening the economy, and the ones in our economy that are suffering are the small business owners, not the large retailers and governments. WalMart, Facebook and Amazon are booming, while your neighborhood restaurants, hair salons, etc., are…

There’s no place here for reasonable discussion with a well-thought out idea that doesn’t attack the political right.  In the immortal words of that ingenue Greta Thunberg, “How dare you!”

I think you nailed it, and your comment hits close to home for me. I own a clothing company and we are in that “middle-priced” market, with quality as high as any of the more expensive brands, and our sales are languishing. We’ve been tossing around the idea of changing our marketing to a much higher level so we…

LOL, I’m a fan of Musk and some of his actions. And ftyperbruin, saying that not a single one is owned by a Republican is just stupid. Sheesh, can’t we at least pretend to have open minds, even if you don’t? I thought liberals were the ones who were supposed to be the open minded, or did that pass away with a…

2004 BMW 545i and a 1968 Camaro show car for the weekends.

If you want to fight in the super car or hyper car arena, that’s the kind of HP you need.  And I thought this was a car enthusiast page?  Seems like it’s turning into an “everyone should be driving an EV or hybrid with 175 HP, which is all any car in today’s society needs.”  Oh, as well as one that is absolutely…

Like Bill Gates

Update on the hospitals getting the respirators and CNN being full of it again:

Not a fan of RHD cars in the US as I would never get that down correctly, but it definitely is an interesting car and I love Honda’s of the 80's and early 90's.  Congrats on owning something pretty cool and different.
