I’m thinking he saw himself ejecting but didn’t see the end.

The way that Huracan was split down the middle, has got to be the most violent top 10 i've seen.
So brutal. I bet he was doing over 150mph easy when he wrecked.

Hey you miscreants! Miss me?
I regained sanity and dumped my Jeep and bought a used X7 40i. Jeep "comfort" seats hurt my back on our 3k mile road trip so that was a surprise and disappointment. Also, the driving dynamics were shit (knew that), but the way the transmission shifts was just mystifying. It would hang at 5k rpm and not shift down to the next gear (4.2k rpm) on mountain passes at a steady speed. Weird. Also, pro tip, if you fill up with gas, park the car at your hotel overnight, and the next morning (36 deg F in Durango, CO -- ride the train, it's fun) it is running like crap and the trans won't shift normally, immediately suspect bad gas. Ask me how I know. Fortunately, I had a rudimentary scanner with me and saw the pending misfire codes. A bottle of HEET later and I was good to go. It was like a switch was turned after a couple of miles. X7 has HUD, Parking Assist, Driving Assistant Pro, Exec, and CWP.

I always use Shell gas but figured I could use a quick dose of Techron now that the seasons have changed and gas stations are switching their blends for the summer.
Could be placebo, but my Q7 feels zippier. No hesitation when needing to pass. It's the 3.0T model, so the SC V6, no the turbo 4. I don't think I've ever used it on the M550, though. |

Supposed leak of the 2025 M5 Wagon that's coming to USA finally.
Looks like they're leaning into the Lexus wide mouth design. Thoughts? The exhaust is looking good ! https://carbuzz.com/bmw-m5-design-teaser-sketches/

The M5 guys seem to mostly like it, but several bad thoughts on the license plate location. I agree with that. It looks too cartoonish.

I hope they all love it and next year are trading their F90’s in.

Was watching a repeat of Top Of The Pops from 1984 & this came on….I had to go get myself some rope in order to stop my sides from splitting.
So funny….but so wrong

Yes! Me too and I haven’t seen anyone else say it (but may have missed it if they did). Looks like a giant M2. Like an M2 knocked up a Camry

I saw a M550 (around a 2020 or 2021 looked like) with a little "Competition" badge on the trunk under the M550 badge. Did BMW ever make such a thing? It looked legit?
