A couple of years ago I took our then brand new GT4 to a track session in Queretaro. After a few sessions I was about to leave. The car was parked on a slight rearward downgrade. Behind the car there was a truly huge ditch right in front of where everyone took breaks between sessions and had a snack. You can guess…

I agree with the setting apart money for yearly maintenance on most bimmers idea. But your figure is extremely high. I have had an E60 M5 (probably the most expensive modern BMW to own) for almost four years now and have spent less than 10K total over 4 years of fantastic driving. That figure includes rebuilding the…
I understand all that. It is also extremely bandwidth intensive, comparatively slow and inefficient. It really seems naive to me in this case to think that the trust problems involved here will be solved by the blockchain simply because of the technical aspects. Who will hold copies of the ledger in this case, why is…
“The plan for the Congo pilot scheme is to give each sealed bag of cobalt produced by a vetted artisanal miner a digital tag which is entered on blockchain a database using a mobile phone, along with details of the weight, date, time and perhaps a photo.
At the next stage, a trader buying the bag would record the…
On BMWs these systems are not all or nothing. They can be enabled/disabled piecemeal as desired.
An outright ban on cars with easily defeatable driver aids like modern BMWs is, quite frankly, grumpy old men at work in the BMWCCA.
Yes the subway is fine. But definitely try avoiding rush hour in it. And for women alone not so much. Generally Mexico City is so cheap for Americans that most can afford a little luxury and get driven around like ballers.
Just Uber yourself around. At the rates here get the black cars all day, everywhere.
Maybe he saw Man on Fire and then dreamt he visited.
Well. Thanks to Trump’s battering of our little peso here in Mexico plus our free trade agreements with every nation that matters now we have the cheapest cars in the world here. Said Panamera Turbo Is 2.5 million pesos = 133,000 USD as of today. It was even 10% cheaper a few weeks ago. And this price includes 15% VAT.
Late model E46 M3 (post-2004). Or any year of E90/92 M3.
Bimmer fan for years here. Current garage is E46 M3 (bought new in ‘05, 101,000km), 1M (bought new in ‘11, 36,000km), E60 M5 (third owner, 65,000km). Previous bimmers include ‘09 E90 M3, ‘99 E46 323i, ‘00 328Ci.
Loved the “Jetta (which 90% of México population thinks is a sports car)“ part there. So true. But I’d say it’s even worse with Seat. Any Seat = race car down here.
I really don’t think BMW is losing anything by not selling to you. Or are there a lot of bimmers in that trailer park?
Cool. Sorry.
Please, please take me out of the grey. Now:
You sir, are a bigoted idiot.
That hasn’t been true for many years. Brands can sell here with no local assembly whatsoever. That’s why Lotus, McLaren, etc can sell here no problem. We also probably have the lowest import tariffs in the entire world.
No such law. We have more brands available here than in the US. Weird stuff like Renault, Peugeot and Seat.
