A someone who thought the last-gen Wrangler was the worst-driving thing on the road, I must say this really appeals to me with all its off-the-shelf customizability. Does it ride better on the road?

BBS RN006—obscure wheels made for the BMW E34, but work great on 80s and 90s Bimmers.

This car. Because it’s so beautiful, yet all we’ll get out of it is some FWD sedan with none of its sultry proportions

60% sure it’s a 2003 Acura CL coupe (post MMC).

Combat Flight Simulator 2 (Pacific) - great lineup of planes, HUGE support from community back then for different airplanes. CFS3 was a disappointment by comparison. Runner’s up: Micropose’s 1942 PAW.

Crumpling where there’s no room for a crumple zone would cause even more injury. The damage to ambulance occupants would come more from the sudden acceleration on impact, causing whiplash or compression when coming to rest.

The character line running across the door reminds me of a G-Class for some reason. Clean design.

Pristine, no scratch in sight, even debadged in the back for ultimate sleeper status. Seemed like I was the only one admiring it.

First 3 years will seem flawless. Then like clockwork everything starts failing. Thermostat, radiator, bushings. Then there’s the time-honored tradition of the rod bearings going bad (since the E46 M3), and after 100k it’s a ticking time bomb.

I own an E34 M5 and have I’ve driven the F10 M5 on the track. Problem with new M5s are that all the technology in the world can’t hide the weight. It’s quick alright, but it feels like you’re throwing a heavy car around, ditto for the M6. Sure this new M5 is lighter, but not by much based on leaks.

The front’s blocky minimalism doesn’t match the more curvy side profile, but I love that ‘80s futuristic design... would fit in a movie like the Running Man or Total Recall.

The worst part about this imo isn’t even the lying—it’s the passive-aggressive trainwreck that ensued.

The first couple years of the E34 M5s have the same exact S38B36 motor in the US and in Europe—not watered down. That only changed in ‘93 with the 340hp S38B38. M5 didn’t catch on because its styling didn’t scream M car, and because the debut of Lexus disrupted the luxury car market.

As cool as the V10 was, it’s a total maintenance nightmare. Motorsports heritage lies with the inline six, and the S38 was based off the M88 in the M1. Plus I’d prefer a handbuilt M5 from the Garching factory any day.

To me the difference is that it’s actually reliable, unlike BMW’s wretched VANOS system. Those seals always eventually go bad, and one something like the newer B58 motor that’d probably be an engine-out operation.

I’m going to be the lone dissenter here and say I prefer Diet Coke over Coke Zero (yes I’m a guy).

The E31 is very similar to the E34, hence a lot of suspension parts are interchangeable.

What’s fed the notion of Lawful Good being a boring stick-in-the-mud are computer D&D games portraying the alignment as a stereotype. To me Lawful Good is uncompromising devotion to faith, even if that defies the law of the land. But in say Baldur’s Gate 2, Lawful Good plays out as whatever is legally right, so it’s…

I don’t see how you can conclude there’s secret sauce in Dingolfing, considering this article pretty much sums up the press release bullet points.

I used to be enamored with this car, but seeing it covered again, it’s underwhelming, especially inside. You can tell the exterior obsesses about consistent panel gaps, yet inside the exposed metal has ungainly seams, exposed metal that looks ugly, especially in the footwell. I’d fix that before scrutinizing whether…
