I’m going to sit this first year or so out, mainly because the best deal you’ll hope to get on this truck is full MSRP for awhile. When I’m ready to buy, I’m thinking manual 2-door Black Diamond with the Mid and Sasquatch, as long as I can get the cooler grill. (I kinda recall Ford saying that’ll be an option.)…

And thus again the snake eats its own tail.

Drove the E90 versions back-to-back and didn’t feel like I was giving up too much going with xDrive. Again, I will repeat that I came in from a GTO which would dive through turns like a chubby dolphin and rotate the back end on demand regardless of what the traction control wanted. When stock. Think something like a…

Interesting. Wonder if they were racking up conquest sales of Legacy/Outback owners who just got promoted to management?

Dunno if I’d say xDrive ruins the E9x, outside of a tendency to understeer relative to the RWD model. Granted, I came in from a bogan hate machine so my evaluation is tainted. Given the xDrive…

Always forget that the three-pedal wagons are manufactured from pure unobtanium. I don’t even want to ponder what an E91 6spd xDrive would run, if one slipped over. Don’t mean to move the goalposts too much but the wagon is like, a next-level choice. You look for that, you’re in the know. And yes, not selling the…

I’ve lost a couple 10mm sockets over the years but they tend to eventually turn up. Something about 8mm sockets, though. . .

That said, I totally bought the shirt on Blipshift.

I’m kinda tempted find a 135i with a scragged engine and stuff an N62 into it. I mean, someone has to have done that build. Be more interesting the obligatory N54 “JB4, FBO and 30FF I go” rig.

Investors absolutely want their investment to succeed. Full stop. The investment is not the company, the company is merely the instrument through which the return is generated. It’s a crucial difference. Whether the company does succeed, they truly don’t care. Go re-read what happened to Toy ‘R’ Us, and to a lesser…

The F32 ZHP’s probably roughly analogous to the 335is but is the wrong generation. We’re talking about the E8x/E9x cars mainly as they’re the last place you’ll find a non-turbo straight-six, and I think that lack of the snail will make them more desirable than the boosted models.

And that last sentiment sums it up. This, and to a lesser extent the 328i coupe, are going to be the collector’s choice for the non-M E8x/E9x cars. I get the feeling non-iDrive (but) w/ M-Sport will be the preferred option. Long story short, they’re the most modern examples of the classic BMW concept.  Definitely…

Forgot to list that. It’s definitely the third desired outcome. Possible, and also profitable.

There you go applying rational thought to the stock market. Stop that. It’s the only way you start to understand.

First up, the investors really don’t give two shits about these companies’ viability. Or even successes, really. As impressive as what Tesla has accomplished, and it is impressive, noooooooooothing they’ve…

This. This is why.

The Japanglish lyrics are supplied by the guy in the football helmet. And Google. The Lethal Weapons were probably one of my favorite “finds” last year.

Underbone bikes are uncommon but they’re still motorcycles, so there’s no debating the bikeyness of the ‘Cub. As you said: 100% motorcycle, especially in context of the era it was released, so we agree, given I started the thread and posted “Super Cub Is No. 1"?

My second post was referring to TomBomb-FR’s mention…

I loathe this idea for the exact same reasons. Some ass-cannon discount Rossi is going to swing wide to pass and send somebody just trying to walk their dog to the hospital.

Honda has a weird fascination/love with underbone motorcycles. The general rule used to be if it had the motor on the swing-arm, mechanicals almost fully-enclosed by the body work and tiny tires, you had yourself a scooter but there’s been more than a high big “highway” scooters that may as well be a step-through…

The Super Cub’s considered a bike, not a scooter. You apparently meet the nicest people on one, according to Honda. Anyway. . .

Nah, Pontiac is the way to go, given the number of nasty letters GM and BMW have exchanged over the twin-grill thing. I’m thinking specifically of the Cammer. It’s an obscure enough motor that virtually any Euro-enthusiast wouldn’t clock it. . . but plausible enough to fab up a new valve cover and sell the purists…

I’m pretty much referring only to the value and the notion this swap hurt it. When talking E30's, they’re all tasty slabs of beef and e>i>is>m is really just deciding how much you want to pay for a cut.
