Also, if you go on the original source website, they have a listing for top 10 lowest-depreciating SUVs. Number 1 of course is the Wrangler still, but do you know what makes the list?

Your numbers are off. First of all, the depreciation is based on the MSRP on that website. So you get a 56.4% depreciation after 5 years. On a $70k car, that’s not bad at all. It doesn’t come close to making that top 10 list. Even if you use the “average price paid” number, it comes to about 63%. Still doesn’t make…

Yeah but there are a ton of Kias and Hyundais on the road. Including the Genesis G80 predecessor, the Hyundai Genesis.

The Hyundai Genesis is old enough to be on the list.

Tesla is a unique case because they make electric cars. That’s not relevant to all the other car companies that have invested huge amounts of money and will continue making money on ICE cars. Also, making low emissions vehicles are done BECAUSE of government regulations and potential future regulations. GM and Toyota…

Unless you’re worried about range, the thing you should be worried about is miles per dollar, not miles per gallon. Since E85 is usually a little cheaper than straight gasoline, comparing MPG is not really relevant unless driving range is what’s most important to you. For most people, I imagine that miles per dollar…

When there are no regulations, it’s not up to companies to regulate themselves for the environment. You know why? Because of competition. If Toyota one day started to say, “hey we have to save the environment” and started building efficient cars, guess what would happen? Their cars would start costing more, they’d…

If it were cheap enough and had the warranty service on both the turbo and HPFP, I wouldn’t either. It’s an awesome engine, especially considering it was BMW’s first direct injection turbo inline 6.

It just sounds like he accidentally stood in line and missed a group of people already in line. A real dick would have looked back, not cared, and stayed in line. It sounds like he realized there was a line, felt bad, and went to the back of the line.

Well all the modern McLaren V8s are powered by a Nissan engine design so it looks like the Japanese have finally entered the fray. It really is WWII.

The woes of the N54 will forever live on in people that have never nor ever will own a BMW less than 10 years old.

Honestly it seems unfair to safe drivers and overly generous to bad drivers. What’ll happen is that all the bad drivers will flock to this since they can’t get insurance and insurance companies will drop out of these things.

I’m hugely critical of the F30 and BMW dropping the manual, but high-speed driving stability has been a BMW hallmark for a long time. It’s still a luxury sport sedan, not a Miata. The 3 series should be easy to drive at 150mph on the autobahn. But it should also be athletic in corners.

The current M3 has 443 lb-ft of torque. The G80 M3 will be within 10% of that figure, probably.

If the next M3 will indeed have a manual like the rumors say, then they already have it. Also, the current manuals in the F30 work. It’s not like BMW makes these transmissions. I’m sure Getrag or ZF could provide appropriately specced transmissions.

A lot of cities “get snow” but that usually just means a couple inches a year in which the whole city goes ape shit crazy because they have no idea how to drive in the snow. Even in cities like Chicago half the people drive as if they’ve never seen snow in their lives.

Have you ever driven a car with no power steering at all? They’re usually super stiff and very communicative. Weight does not filter out feel at all. It’s usually the opposite. I’m not sure why your car felt bad. I know some E90 cars had electronic power steering. Maybe the wagons all had EPS. I don’t know. But the…

My point is that the chassis and body parts are there to accommodate a manual transmission. I’m not saying I want to drive the 316 and 318 or 320d. Supposedly the M3 is also coming with a manual. So I’m not sure why they can’t stick that in the M340i and offer it here.

The model years don’t all line up. Only the sedan will be new for 2019. The wagon and 4 series coupe will probably be 2020 models Q2 next year and 2019 4 series and wagons will actually be from the last generation F3x models.

BMW reliability isn’t anywhere near as bad as RR. In fact, with the exception of their M cars and the N54 engine cars, modern BMWs have been fairly reliable lately. They had some major issues with the N54 engine but they did extend warranties up to 120,000 miles for the fuel pump issues and 85,000 miles for the turbos.
