    I prefer black on black with tinted windows, but yes.

    I love the dark on dark....Mine is gun metal grey on grey. Not very bog on the shiny black rims though....I like the muted matte look to be totally honest.

    Word, flat/matte black is best. I should probably go tour the BMW lot down the road from my work and figure out exactly what I want. Gotta buy a lottery ticket too.

    Alright, my '94 325is is ready for the pasture. I have a couple things in my sights. I'm a BMW guy.

    Anyone here have an X1 or X3? I want the 3.5 but if the lower model rocks I will take one for a ride.

    I'm coming with straight cash, homie.

    BMWs scare me due to reliability, but I hate auto mechanics/repairs with a passion

    I rented an X3 it was cool, I liked the Audi Q5 much better.

    Reliability or service? Audi and BMW service are equal in the long run.. reliability and performance I give BMW the edge, but it depends on the model.

    I want that X1 xDrive35i

    Yeah, I'd get a BMW over an Audi if I had to own and take care of it.

    My cousin bought a used X5 and was "ballin" but it was a total money pit.

    BMWs can for sure be a pit, but any car can.

    This is what I rented. It was actually pretty spacious now that I looked up that weekend. It was during covid and rental cars were cheap AF lol

    I think so, but I remember thinking the audi was much better. I cruised PCH down to central California in it so was just chillin.

    When I drove the Audi I thought to myself "oh, this is why audi drivers drive like assholes. I get it now"

    I borrowed my brother's Audi A4 for weekend and yeah, I get what you mean.

    I wonder what bodyman would say about this conversation. His Ford Focus would probably beat all these off the line.

    My wife is going to come home at any moment.. I'll probably end up with a Subaru.

    I guess they were running some year end promos, $7500 off + 10k miles of supercharging if you took delivery by end of year. They only had Model Y long ranges when I checked around here.

    Wait a sec, you’re going to buy a car YOU HAVE TO CHARGE? What if there aren’t any plugs around?

    There are plugs everywhere.

    The car tells you on a road trip where and when you need to charge.

    No thanks FAMS. It’s hard enough getting to your destination without looking for a place to park and sit and charge for a few hours.

    How often do you drive 300+ miles without stopping? Unless you drive across the country, I don't really get your argument. Electric vehicles make sense for 95% of the population.

    I don't know if I'll ever buy one either, gas is easily accessible, but that is such an ignorant take. Wow.
