I felt the same way—having owned 5 BMWs this is the last one I truly wanted. And may be the last one I ever own. The turbos have always made me nervous, but after driving it this motor is just so great and ultimately why I bought my car. Smooth, nearly lag free, torquey with the unrelenting surge to redline amd a…

Bosch coil packs are about $22 each online. The same ones that have a BMW sticker are probably $50. Sure, there are six of them, but it’s a job you can do yourself in half an hour. Same with spark plugs (BMW logo costs like 10 times as much). Not sure why the dealer charges so much for brake jobs. It’s super easy. I…
I have a 2009 135i manual convertible in the garage right now with 50k miles. Didn’t realize that manuals were so rare, though when I bought this 5 years ago they weren’t super easy to find. *knock on wood* mine has been reliable—biggest expense was replacing the aftermarket suspension and 19” chrome rims with stock.
Where’s the British Racing green? Mid engined cars look great in BRG.
Unlike the Sentra this is an awesome rental car. Boring, but great!
Nothing against modest cars, but CVT truly blows. I rented the Sentra in Florida and the constant revving and surging is terrible.
Tupac was also a GOAT candidate.
Rented a 508 wagon this summer. Jalop want this quirky, comfortable, fun, practical car. They need a nice shade of brown and we are good to go.
Bob Hall said that he wanted the larger plastic window for visibility. So yeah, the father of the Miata. Said visibility is only for three years then it fogs up, but the surface area is clearly larger.
Coming from someone whose first car was a Ford wagon with wood trim, I would say that, yeah, maybe it doesn’t work on modern vehicles
I adored my Das Keyboard until it broke. I had the one with the blank caps and it broke me from looking down. I just wish that they would make a ten key-less model.

Mid-engined boxer. Hmm. Seems like I have heard of that before. Can you say “low polar moment of inertia”?
The drugs are the best. They give you that stuff to make you agreeable. It makes what you are experiencing tolerable, but it makes the sky bluer, the birds sing sweeter and the Double-Double animal style you have on an empty stomach is the best you will ever have.
They want cool, manly, attractive names. Steve McQuuen was cool, manly and had piercing blue eyes. Why would you NOT choose Steve given the option?
I bought a GLA last year, partially because of the awesome Apple integration. Six months later it stopped working. Apparently I have to buy a subscription to use the feature. The dealer said nothing about that. I am so pissed.

You know what the problem is? Millennials!
Hey! I used to live in Huntsville, TX and tiny fish were the only kind of fish I caught.
