I’ve used this method. Metal sleeve is still in there but easy to remove with a single hacksaw cut once rubber is gone.

If it was a 325i wagon, I’d have said yes. AWD in one of the best RWD chassis ever made is kind of a shame; don’t want to pay a premium for it.

Safety complains/suggestions:

1st: Find me a 2016 car with 4/5 doors, can fit a convertible baby seat behind the passenger seat in a normal position, carry a stroller in the trunk, has 350+ HP, gets over 20 MPG, has comfort gadgetry, is nice enough that people won’t assume a family member must have died if I get out of it wearing a suit, costs…

Coincidence??!

Pretty sure this is a video game...

Obligatory:

Oh no... I thought Ford got rid of the 1990s-tacky-special-edition department...

I’m pretty sure that video has been sped up. Watch the guys running up at the very end. Its obviously an impressive time and the guy is an awesome driver, but I think he’s done some creative editing to make the video more impressive.

Wrong. You’re ignoring the horrible depreciation of cars. If you make 72 payments at 0% on a new car I have no doubt you’ll be upside down for the first 2 years - or even longer on some cars.

He almost killed that cab driver, second video shows it very clearly... I don’t care what any of you say, that guy should have been shot. Not necessarily saying they should try to kill him, but he already but at least 3 lives in danger from what I could see, and we couldn’t see what he did after he turned the corner,…

Hahaha this guy... he’s thinking “ok, great show, thank you... move along... oh no, she’s not leaving... this is awkward... now she’s making weird faces at me... maybe if I just look the other way... no. Still there making faces... ”

You can get a 2015 5.0, still new, for $38k.

Not nearly as much as you could in the old one. I think its on par with any Mercedes short of the S-class.

You’ve described the 5.0 perfectly. The V6... not so much.

Great... just what BMW needs... another series.

Just one question: Can I still get one with the 5.0? I don’t see it on their website anymore and the kid at the dealership didn’t really seem to know. If 2015 was the last of the 5.0's, I’m going to buy one this weekend.

Actually, there is a news segment, but it’s been moved to Extra Gear... Along with Chris Harris... So, basically everything I was excited to see is now in a show called Extra Gear, and the BBC seems to have no interest in making that show with the same level of quality as the original Top Gear... So I wouldn’t waste…

I see what they’ve done and I hate it. They’ve clearly realized that there are generally two groups that top gear viewers fall into: those who want to know about the cars and those who want to see the stars and cars. Obviously most viewers don’t fall exclusively into one group or the other, but rather appreciate one…
