BMW excels at making cars that look like luxury cars that are really full of cheap plastic parts that won't last for the duration. And they obviously know that when they engineer the cars but they don't give a shit because they are making cars that look like luxury cars to sell at a certain price point. Welcome to the automotive industry!

300,000 kms at redline maybe excessive yes, but i have seen 330ci track cars with 330,000+ kms (300,000 of them on the track) getting a rebuild, and internally there was nothing wrong with them. I do not know how BMW tests their engines honestly. |

Definitely a C7 Corvette. I test drove a 2014 Z51 a few weeks ago- wow. Loud (in a good way), fast, handles insanely well, and has the best electric steering rack I've ever felt. At under $40k for a well-maintained used example, they may be the best performance bargain on the market.

I've actually been considering selling the 135i and buying an r33 gtr or gtst now that they are legal to import. Gtst are dirt cheap, 15k ish, and I took a look at a gtr vspec with 60k miles for 25 grand. Aside from that probably on a focus RS. Unfortunately I love the 135i too much to part with it at this point.

My friend was going to buy a 2015 stingray, it was only high 40k, I was shocked it was so cheap, only 25k miles too.
I toyed around idea of trading the 135 in for a 2018 M5 lease last week. Wife said she will pay for a new M5 once our nanny expenses are gone in 2 years. Quote:

Made a nice LONG list and i think its best to get rid of the thing. Going to hopefully slap a new oil pan on and fix the speed sensor issue soon then put it up for sale. Gonna be driving the ole e30 when it gets worked on and sold. Havent been on 1addicts in a while cause of that hit and run. My car is pretty much my life and when that happened i kinda got a little sad and didnt really do a whole lot lol. Last edited by F13.KENN; 09-19-2018 at 01:07 AM.. |

Those G90 M5s look and sound great. If you end up waiting, there might be an LCI out by the time you buy/lease.

They shouldn't, but they sometimes do.
They generally don't on your first not-at-fault incident, but if you get repeated ones it starts to count against you. Insurance companies these days recognize that some drivers may never be "in the wrong" but behave in ways that cause other drivers to be in the wrong. For example, if you get rear-ended three times in three years, you'll never be in the wrong, but it's pretty safe to say you've got unpredictable braking habits. Insurance is about managing risk, not about the law. It's entirely possible to be a shit driver who never breaks the law, and insurance companies will put your premium up if they recognize that. (I'm not saying OP is a shit driver. I'm saying insurance companies do include not-at-fault accidents to assess your overall risk) |
