You lost me at ‘comically slow’. It should be illegal to sell a vehicle with 150 hp these days.

Yes, and this car has been around for a loooong time. Saw it in person in Myrtle Beach back when I was in college, and I graduated in 2007. Saw it some time before that in Ocean City, MD as well.

LOL I literally said that in my first post. My used E90 335i was a lease return when I bought it. Why is that a bad thing? It’s usually very well maintained with very low miles. Mine had 23k after 3 years.

Hemi Grand Cherokee is $42k and gets to 60 in 6.6 seconds. I get your point, but that’s still slow for the ultimate driving machine sports sedan.

That’s pretty slow for a ‘sports sedan’. Lots of SUVs are faster than that now.

If I’m spending $30k on a BMW, it’s going to be on a nice used lease return 335i with like 20k miles. Not a stripper 320i with no options and no horsepower. I’m only 31, but I’ve learned to really appreciate modern amenities on my long commute.

I had an E90 335i for a while, my mom still has a 2008 335i that she’s owned since new, my friend has gone through numerous leased E90s and F30s and currently has a 340i that he loves. All of them have been pretty damn reliable, nothing worse than any other car I’ve seen. Nothing even close to what these media cars…

I drive around 22-23k miles a year, so leasing isn’t an option.

I randomly look at the new Giulia all the time as a potential next car. It’s good looking and the QF looks awesome to drive. I even have a dealership about 2 miles from my hours. But why put myself through the frustration of owning a superbly unreliable car when I can have a BMW, drive the pants off it, and have the…

Right, but try to put that same cooler in the back of an Explorer or X5 with all 3 rows of seats full of people. Betcha can’t.

As far as carpooling goes... my friends and I used to always go places in groups and always drove our own cars. Maybe we’d have a girl ride with us, maybe not, but sometimes we’d have like 10…

Seems to me that manufacturers are just jamming a 3rd row into every SUV because for some reason, everyone has more than 3 kids? The X5 is almost the exact same size as a Grand Cherokee and I would NOT want another row of seats in the back of my Jeep. There would be zero cargo space with the seat up, and with the seat…

I agree, interesting to read about. But the whole article being based on thoroughly speculating how many people would have horribly died is a bit much, especially when it goes in the title, just for clicks.

I only mentioned that because I am nearly hit on the bike MUCH more often than in my car.

Yeah, but it’s something that didn’t actually happen. This same plane situation could happen each and every minute all over the world, but it doesn’t. Sure it was a close call, but nothing bad happened.

The last commercial flight I was on, we were on approach to BWI when the pilot suddenly pulls back on the stick and…

Why in God’s name does Mercedes keep putting a dial pad in the dash of every vehicle they make? Is there a phone built in there somewhere?

If I reported on all the near-misses I’ve had when driving or riding my bike, I’d never stop typing.

Might as well call it the chrome package. It looks like you got a bunch of chrome accents from AutoZone and chrome wheels from your local ‘hood tire shop.

My 2003 GT came stock with the ‘horse in the corral’ grille. I bought a Mach 1 grille delete before I even bought the car. Such a terrible look, I don’t care…

I’m going to say it wasn’t the impact with the rock wall that hurt him so badly, but the initial impact with the edge of the asphalt when he came back onto the road. He was already in the process of going down, then he slammed into the edge of the road before sliding across it. Damn.

I guess if the Chipotle workers didn’t just slob on a disgusting amount of each ingredient, this wouldn’t happen. I’ve been asking for a side of sour cream for years after I finally got fed up with them ruining every one of my meals by adding an entire scoop when I asked for “a tiny bit”.

Weird how you guys just skip over the fact that George Soros was also at this party. Guess everyone who reads this blog already knows all about him?
