I hope the diesel is an option in the basic X/sport stripped down, not interested in rubicon. Took our X5 to PA last weekend, 1 tank of fuel 550 miles gotta love it

there needs to be something between the cost prohibited “rally” events and rallycross. The cost increase between them is HUGE, autocross to tracknights to trackday to racing have a nice progression path. Why cant rally have that ?!?! like “Pre” rally events for plebs, shorter without the excessive cost & safety…

I want one when they have 350hp and a tune with no torque dip. Yes I could supercharge them and then get stuck autocrossing against full blown race cars lololol sticking with my 135i that serves me well till something truely better comes along

I despise leather, alacantra is by far my favorite interior material

what years to look for?

who’s the dumb arse that passed on the parade laps, now they are gonna require pace cars

my 2005 R53 S and 2006 R53 JCW both do this and I enjoy it. It’s not the same sound every time and I wish they did it more at high rpm, they seem to only do it when shifting lazy under 4500 rpm or when backing off the throttle a tiny bit anywhere below 4500

you might be color blind, there’s a whole lot of orange bikes

that looks intentional, he counter steers before the corner to setup the drift, same thing we do in autocross with FWD cars so they rotate more

and some of it is cut by 50 % if you purchased after a magic date

What happens to people that buy used TDI’s this week not even knowing this is going down?

fiat stop fast, one did a stoppie

sure about that?

i DONT CARE, the current m5 sucks, I too give my vote to e39 M5

the “euro” only came around in 1999 and I dont recall the boarders opening up across countries until around that time too, but I might be wrong. Before that it was just not the same, with all the currencies and whatnot

i’ll try, I had auto-h on and I shifted into neutral and opened the door, maybe it knows the parking brake was on so it did not shift to park

2012

I have this shifter in my X5 and it does NOT auto park if I put it in neutral and open the door

Here’s how you drift a mini cooper R53 in an autocross event.

these gm smallblock swaps are so common CP unless it had good paint.
