That’s not true though. Just because I want better gas mileage, doesn’t mean I have to buy a hybrid.

Eh, that’s a false equivalency there.

Hot damn, me want.

Ohhh, I really like this route of MCM.

Newer cars, even FCA cars, last way way longer. Older cars are easier and cheaper to maintain because a lack of fancy electronics, but newer ones will go longer with less TLC. I didn’t know people debated this. Hm.

One time, I did it one time!

Shooter was a GOOD movie! @me

Two dumb accidents, one car.

Yeah I get ya. I agree too. I think a good way to bring the M and other brands to the cheaper cars is to just badge what actually came from the M division.

Except that’s absolutely not how they do it. The badging is the super cheap part of any of the parts. Epic Failure is arguing that they should go ahead and use the steering wheel, shift knob, wheels, whatever, just don’t put the badge on it. That is 100% possible.

Ohhh, you don’t like that they are diluting the sport division of their companies. I get that and can agree. How do you feel about it when the M division actually does the tuning on the M-Sport cars?

Ah, but if you throw out reliability and maintenance costs then it is the best car model of all time.

I don’t think you know what you are talking about. There is a legit difference in most of those lines and models of those lines. At least the ones you mentioned. I’ve driven an normal 328i and a 328i M-Sport, there’s a noticeable difference in handling and interior sport features (seats, steering wheel, aesthetics).…

Whoa, what car?

We went through this last year. Even with the AWD Sienna there are downsides besides the crash results. It’s freaking massive (good for some, bad for us), the AWD system takes the place of the spare so it is either run-flats or make sure you have AAA and a good repair kit, and lackluster tech.

I’m more into the AMG GT that’s behind it. How come we didn’t get a picture of that?!

Derp, blurp gurp. I’m an idiot. Can we just move past this and pretend it didn’t happen?

You are using the transmission to hold the car, putting unneeded stress on it. This is the same reason they say to use the parking break in an automatic. It’s way cheaper to replace the brake system than it is the transmission. 

Please tell me you aren’t advocating for parking with it just in gear and no parking break. That’s just dumb.

If on level ground, putting it in gear only prevents it from moving in one direction.
