I have my doubts that these improvements will come to the US, mostly because of cost. We didn’t get the larger infotainment system until this model year, no? Also, US market Golfs still don’t have the electronic parking brake (good or bad). My bet is that these improvements will come only on the Golf R, which is still…

Yeah, that’s nuts, my base bill on AT&T for 30gb a month is $145 (though the final is a lot more after you add all the other iPhones and iPads in my family)

You can get your BMW in almost any color you want. Sadly, you just have to pay $5,000 for the privilege.

It's the code for Vancouver airport

The problem with gun safety classes and information about guns is that it often leads to an interest in guns, which we can’t have.

I am a particular fan of the BMW 4 series Gran Coupé. Probably the best looking of the 3 and 4 series.

Not only for redundancy but probably also for the increased electrical generating capacity that 4 engines give you.

Reminds me of this dude.

Yeah but longer.

Is the new E300 (with a 2.0t) $1,000 cheaper than the previous E350 (you know, the one with a 3.5l V6 with more power)? If that’s the case, I wouldn’t really call it “cheaper”. Other than the E250 (diesel), I don’t think the W212 was ever sold here with a 4 cylinder engine.

In addition to all the comments about how BMW and Audi have a fallback safety feature in the event you open the door without putting it in park, at least on BMWs, it is obvious and unambiguous when you put it in park, because you push the little “P” button on top of the shifter, which has no other function. With the…

That is too much work and relies on your faith in Facebook (they still collect the data). I just use Ghostery. I don’t need that Facebook “like” button on various webpages, and it's been my experience that the quality of Facebook comments is lower than, say Disqus or built-in comments, so it's no loss either.

No Fox Sports Go Apple TV app 😡 At least NBC Sports throws us that bone.

I dunno, a lot of people look askance at the green text bubble.

Agree. The Tesla Model X is a minivan in all but name, but they went to great lengths to design an overly complicated, over engineered alternative to the sliding door. I watched the little demo showing how those falcon doors could open in tight spaces and thought to myself “ok, that’s nothing a sliding door couldn’t…

Or, just don’t use public wifi. Now that decent LTE is available pretty much everywhere I go ((AT&T for me, YMMV), I never use public wifi, not even AT&T’s or Comcast’s, even though those are both “free” to me. Not only is is it safer, but usually at least as fast if not faster.

I replaced the steering angle sensor in my W211 E350. It was a fairly straightforward repair, I followed the videos I found on YouTube for other Benzes (couldn’t find one specific to to mine). Your E92 likely uses the same or a very similar part. There’s no point in trying to clean it, if you have to take apart your…

We have the same car seat. The bases that you can leave in the car are a lifesaver—once installed, you can just click in the seat. None of this fumbling around with a seatbelt BS. We installed it in middle of the back seat of our mid-sized car and I can still move the driver’s seat to suit me, and two people can still…

Mine has a few more creature comforts (basically luxury package and mandatory power seats, and the multi-function heated steering wheel) but is similar. I also added “Connect”, which is essentially Apple CarPlay. I’d much rather use my phone than any car manufacturer’s nav.

Well balanced mid-engined car vs. highly evolved FWD-based car. I would take the Cayman any day of the week.
