I have a 2014 228i and it’s been pretty damn reliable. Door lock is messed up on the passenger side, and I did have to replace the transmission shortly after I bought it, but that was covered by warranty. Have nearly 100k miles on it and those were the only issues.

IIRC, they got over the rust issue when they became independent of Ford in the mid-aughts. I might be talking out of my ass tho

More people are maintaining their vehicles than falling for (often) predatory lease offers?

To be fair, Armie’s also progeny of famous rich people.

But it’s gonna take decades for this to happen, per the article. By then, most of those old white farts are gonna be dead.

As a voice actor, he’s decidedly Not Bad. One of the better voice actors in Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised by anything he’s said or done. Pathological liars are something else.

That almost sounds like a George Santos “I’m Jew-ish!” kind of defense

Holding out hope that this version comes out in the US. I don’t care if it’s criminally underpowered. I need my spinning trongles.

The dealership experience. If they seem way too gung-ho and high-pressure, all I want is out.

He was born in Oklahoma, but his family moved to Missouri when he was young.

True, but he was born in Oklahoma. Not sure on the timeline before his family moved out to Missouri, however.

I blame Gran Turismo 4 for my love of that Daihatsu. I want one sooooooooooo badly
