beaucoup, not buku

It’s pretty good when it’s not crowded, inside the store and in the parking lot. Walking through there on a holiday weekend gives me anxiety. The parking lot is always chaotic, with its pseudo-traffic patterns and huge variety and quantity of vehicles.

That list is only the US market.

It’s strange. Even though they don’t have nearly the same production volume as the Toyotas and VWs of the world, the Model Y is the #1 best selling car in the world.

To me it seems that part of the allure is being obnoxious and letting everyone know it. When some dude across town has a “regular” CT, you have no choice but to wrap yours in some Gee Whiz color.

If 90% of those cars aren’t on the road, that means there’s 680,000 affected cars rolling in public.  That’s a lot!

The car almost blends in with the pavement in that photo. It really is a terrible color.

I did not appreciate the feature until I had a 2004 BMW with them.  They are super convenient and allow me to focus on other stuff. I do not enjoy adjusting the stalk every time the rainfall changes.  I want to set it and forget it.

As a customer-facing service rate, yeah it’s pretty terrible.

Old BMW. Many repairs looming. New baby. Car seats. Tall wife. $25k budget. Must be fun. Must be stick shift. Must have rain sensing wipers. Mazda3 too short for car seat. Mazda6.

D’oh, I knew I forgot one!

The Z4 M Coupe is arguably the better sports car because it is smaller, more focused and a little lighter than the E46 M3.

Which short-lived, quirky BMW will be most desirable in 30 years?

It really is a pattern. For the US market, this is when BMW offered each model:

99% of the general public doesn’t understand the nuances of the measuring device or where it’s located. They just want the number on the dashboard to be accurate.

258 lb-ft + FWD

“I live my life 25/132nds of a mile at a time” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Both are true.  At least this website also promotes plenty of electrified or fully electric vehicles. The automotive industry is quickly headed toward electrification. You can’t really say the same for the industries that facilitate world tours (trucking and airline industries).

I think it varies based on the way it is collected.

Spit on that rolling mirror box because the owner traded the safety of others for vanity. Nobody should have to put up with the reflections coming off that truck.
