It's about as ugly as they could have made it in the front along with the indistinguishable from the rear Lexus look.
2. The F80/82/83 are perhaps the most reliable M cars ever. For the first time in around 20 years of M ownership I'm not worried about Vanos, oil pumps, or rod bearings while I'm out in the wild enjoying my car. There's no way I'm dumping a perfectly awesome car just because something newer has come out, especially with unproven reliability. Dumping something that 99.9% of the world population would be happy to own just to get something "new" is the definition of stupidity. Basically nobody will be able to tell the differences between the new/old models anyway, just like nobody knows the difference between Xenon and LCI headlights on these cars except for the owners themselves (hell I didn't even know until around six months of ownership). It's all in the heads of the pretentious to think other wise.
Love my car.  |
Love everything that you just said. How about the spun crank hub to your 2nd point? Any worries there? I’m a new F82 owner (out of warranty) and it’s always sitting in the back of my mind..
