Oddbean new post about login | logout America is finally going to get a taste of the BMW M5 Touring that Europeans have enjoyed for many years. You lot are not as fond of wagens as we are. You prefer your SUVs for your grocery getters. This is for the BMW loyalists at heart who were patient and didn't buy an E63 or an RS6 Avant and can afford a car with over $100K. I'm just glad they put a V8 and not some wussy. It's a plug-in hybrid that weighs a whopping 5,530 lbs. Fat heavy bitch. https://www.caranddriver.com/bmw/m5-touring
That’s a beauty. Love BMW
It is lovely. I'm just glad the grille doesn't look like kidneys. They kept it subtle.
Definitely. The interior is great too🔥 https://i.nostr.build/fHLpXpgKsNQCQbDj.jpg
Why do i have the feeling that this console might get warm enough under the greek sun and explode like a hezbollah pager? 😀
You see a pager on the console? 😂 Lemme put my glasses on https://media1.tenor.com/m/WGnovQpg92gAAAAC/cejm-cavalcade.gif
After all this plastic stuff i have seen meltingnin my car i can imagine many things 😀
Your car has a pager? https://media1.tenor.com/m/lS2mr6-xlZkAAAAC/wait-you.gif
Not yet
Nami! Bad boi
Seriously though, some cars have indeed caught fire here because they forgot the mobile phone in the car.
That does happen. I mean there are Ferraris that have spontaneously combusted.
It also happens because of Android phones inside jeeps 👀 https://i.nostr.build/MmTkggvPdhwGsKHD.jpg
Very temping! Although I’m still having a ton of fun with my 7000 lbs 2022 R1T
Oof! Battery weight. You ordered the new one didn't you? Is that heavier?
Also been craving something classic… need an old ride
Hmm any ideas?
In the past it’s always been American muscle cars. Now I’m kinda leaning Brit muscle possibly 1980 Aston Martin
V8.. V8 Vantage.. 🫡
Any experience or advice with these vehicles?
It has its known and common issues in varying degrees of severity from mechanical latch issues to total engine failure. A few have come through the workshop. My usual advice to would be buyers of classic AMs is generally non-technical and that’s.. be prepared. One with good maintenance history is preferred. I think most common issues can be addressed by a restomod. This late 70s V8 we maintain is owned by the son of a former owner of AM who lives in the area. This one doesn’t have any problems. 😄 https://i.nostr.build/hfe51gkqkncsDZYX.jpg
Wow, LOVE that color! Awesome excellent advice thank you 🙏🏻 yeah I figured the “be prepared” part so I’ve been very cautious as there’s not a lot to choose from around LA. The one or two I’ve seen were reasonably priced but not in good shape at all. I do like the idea of restomoding something but that budget is down the line in a future time.
Early aughts 3 series wagon for me, instead. If I was inclined....
80s? Like the E30 touring? Yessss
00s. Or a 2002. With a turbo. 😅
Ohh I had no idea what aughts mean. 😄 I do love a 2002tii as well. Turbocharged, I think the output was 170 hp’s of absolute fun.
Well... I wouldn't keep it stock. I would build a rally inspired turbo setup and have a VERY responsive 300whp setup.
