Failed front EDC sensor Charge pipe popped out A/C compressor failed Stuck exhaust valve Leaking intercooler and cracked expansion tank The last issue had me without my car for 6 weeks in the middle of the track season due to parts being BO and shipping issues due to COVID. Delaer was great and gave me a nice X3 loaner, but I still lost a lot of track days.

I find MB surpassed BMW in motor racing. They are completely dominating F1, the top of motorsport and are involved in many other series. They focus on performance, making strong statements such as setting many 'ring lap records.

The Americans are improving with every generation and addressing enthusiasts like never before. Numerous track ready stock options under full warranty, track prep guides, reasonably priced. 15 years ago I wouldn’t have imagined it. New Blackwings get mag wheels, proper seats, V8, and manual?? ATS/CTS styling critiques from M snobs are a good laugh now. M is running from a fight. Current bosses figured they’d take decades of legit reputation and clout and play that to the image crowd. I hope they fail miserably.

End of day they were plotting a substantial reroute for a charge on the way home because the Taycan wasn't going to make it. Not there yet, maybe next gen.

This was my biggest worry for the Taycan. Not the charge on a road trip, as chargers can be found off the highways, but how badly range gets affected when driving the car how its meant to be driven, hard. I remember the original Matt Farah review where he took it through the mountains and lost a lot of range by pushing it. Many of the backroads I travel to are not close to chargers and some even go through the mountains and wooded areas towards and in Pennsylvania and are about an hour to two or more out from my house with decent miles. I would be worried to drive a Taycan how I drive my other vehicles through those roads purely just because its hard to predict range and charging availability.

My dealer was awesome also, they really helped me get a nice settlement from BMWNA. But, had they just taken back the CS for me to get into a M2C they'd probably still have me as a customer. I bought/leased 10 cars from BMW, half of them Ms over a 5-6 year period and they wouldn't even entertain it. So, I took my business elsewhere. Spoiler alert, you are going to love your 911, but I'm guessing you already know this. Last edited by minn19; 12-03-2020 at 02:37 PM.. |

Great videos! MB's sedan styling just has to come around a little. The coupes are beautiful.
Back up a minute, where's the brooding guy with tats and party gal in the ads? Why aren't they following the new BMW ad format?? As I stated in an earlier post, I fear that BMW as a brand, will not be where its at for us. F8x/E9x was peak 'M'. |

Turner still racing M6 GT3's. most outdated car on the grid. M4 GT4 (Michelin Pilot Challenge) almost the same story now. Enjoy the M8's in GTLM, but connection to anything real world, transferrable development & tech to the production car, not really. New M4 GT3 doesn't arrive until 2022. I'm old enough to remember when M motorsport informed production car development.

Agree, its really sad they I have now mistakenly confused a few new Lexus IS/RC's and even the Acura ILX which has similar taillights, for a new 3-series on multiple occasions.

As if the new M3/4 weren't ugly enough, BMW will now offer you hideous Sao Paulo Yellow rims to add to your buck tooth beaver.

The wheels in themselves are awesome, but that colour scheme though
