I'm sure someone else already said this but the RS is not a limited production vehicle...

I’m not sure about the most recent version but the pre-2015 MY Tundra’s “black” B-pillar was just vinyl and many folks peeled them off.

From a 2015 335i to a 2016 340i the car GAINED 150 lbs? WTH?

Looking at the pic, which is admittedly low resolution, I can make the following educated guesses from the locations of the various RBF tags - pitot tubes on the front (or antennas, though there are a few antennas along the bottom that don’t have covers so more than likely pitots), then you probably have (an) inlet

I agree in principle but not with the specifics. Looking at this from a reasonable person standard, (1) and (2) are basically the same thing and are not rooted in reality. (1) should be reduced to "Fair Market Value" and (2) should be in accordance with established policy in the US and elsewhere. We don't need to

$49 for a cabin air filter vs. $9.72 for the OE part on Amazon. BEFORE installation labor. I’m sorry, but that is absurd. Particularly when the only purpose for the visit was implementation of a RECALL - i.e. they weren’t making money off of us, so they looked for two opportunities to upsell (the other was $75 for

“Nicer” is meaningless. “Does it fit what the owner wants the vehicle to do for them?” Is the relevant question - not, “Which is ‘nicer’”?

The Terminator Cobras that preceded them have been in the same boat for an additional ~5 years. Swap to a Whipple or a twin turbo setup and you could be making 700 - 1000 bhp all day long for pennies.

Anyone want to start a pool on the chances of this coming to the States? I'm in first with - no chance whatsoever.

TT / GTI(PP)

Uh, in the US at least the GT lacks both the Bilstein suspension and Limited Slip that are standard on the Club. It’s more a dressed up Sport than a dressed up Club. A GT with the Bilsteins and LSD, like every other major market gets when you pick the 2.0L engine, would be ideal. Listening Mazda USA? I’ve only said

That was Goonies, dude.

Sir, survey question - how are you enjoying your FR-S/BRZ?

BMW being uniquely a luxury brand is only a US market thing. Ditto for Mercedes. In Europe you get them as taxis and rental cars all day long. It's just that they're all BMWs, rather than being from Scion, then Toyota and finally Lexus in terms of "prestige."

Glib comment time; it’s Friday after all.

Don’t feel bad; I had no idea who he was either. I wasn't a 'tween watching after school reality television in the mid-late '00s though. I was out of college working full time and enjoying real life. Which I still am, actually.
