Huh, they stopped? Well, I guess I don't blame them. It seems like wagons always cost more, weigh more, get worse fuel economy and don't have as good drivetrain options. I drive a wagon because it's still the best mix of economy and utility, but it's certainly not one of my enthusiast vehicles, and I wouldn't have…

@laxmax613: Ohhhh, get a 750il. Nothing impresses the ladies like a car with two engines tied together by a common crankshaft / block.

Uh, if it's only you in the back, you're much better off with a Rolls, Bentley or even a 750il / SEL Benz or LWB Jag. Limos are great for holding a ton of people, but what's the point of being transported in an giant empty room that's probably not as nice as the executive car.

motherfuckin snakes.

@RichyJ: It's just priced a tad above the Lexus HS, and with tax credits, may even be comparable or lower.

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: That's why they make standalone fuel injection and ignition controllers. Of course, if you have obdII emissions testing in your state, that could still be a problem...

hrmm, that'll go great with 4 doors. maybe they can go unibody and do a hardtop only version while they're at it...

@jolietjake: *jaws drops* you, SIR, are clearly not a car lover.

Welcome Justin!

@Fat Tire: I blame racing regulation. They need an F1 - OUTLAW CLASS.

@Tvaan:200 lb difference was between the US M6 (3570 lbs) and the E63 M6 (3770 lbs). Yes, it's 200 KG difference between the euro M635csi and the us E63 M6.

@Elhigh: I'm sure the concrete structure is more than study enough to survive whatever hurricanes might hit it. However, no walls essentially leaves everything inside, as well as any glass components within the structure, completely vulnerable. When Ike blew through Houston, my g/f (who had to stay in town, since she…

@Tvaan: The M635 had 282 hp vs. the US's 256 and it still weighed in a bit over 3300 lbs BEFORE they went highline with it in the last few years. Point is, BMW has a long history of bloated cars and people tend to forget that they've been making the same mistakes for a while. The cars you're thinking of are the 3…

huh, my garmin gps mount falls off my windshield all the time. I figured they were designed for Buicks or something.

Wait, GM has hybrid technology now? Ah, ok - I'll keep my eyes open for Chinese cars with big alternators...

@burglar: hrm, it just seems like turbo lag is mostly a thing of the past, at least until you start pushing some serious boost. even then, i prefer the old initial d cartoons with the FD with the bang-bang system (well, one of the cars had that, can't remember which one). just seems cooler than an electric motor...

@Tvaan: Like the '80s M6 that weighed approximately 200 lbs less with half the hp?

Good thing the X6M is still alive and well, shitting all over BMW's history.

@OA 5599: Is that in Lake Jackson?

@nataku8_e30: oh, and it looked like this
