      @Clint_D:

      Very true.  Even if I were to get an M2 or M4, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to leave it stock.  I may have a problem  😢

      think about it.. you've got akrapovic for the bmws, renntech for the AMGs and milltek for RS..
      i've seen a few videos on highly modded Ms on LivingLifeFast's channel on youtube. some of the fastests m5 and 135M putting out 900-1000bhp to 700-800bhp respectively..

          Came across this beauty the other day. IMHO one of the best looking (if not the best looking) sedan(s): BMW E38 750iL (1994-2001). P.S.: I also think that almost every newer BMW looks simply hideous (unpop opinion?).

            This car loves the mountains…

            The summer BBS wheels and Michelin Super Sport tires are off and new Niche wheels and Michelin Alpin Pilot tires for winter...not that it’s going to see much of winter  🙂

              definitely an unpop because i think they look gorgeous. especially the M3 version where the rear wheel arches flare like a phat ass. the e30 3 series and the e65 7 series are one of my favs. 760li with the twin turbo v12..  😎 😎 😎

              what do you think of the new G20 3 series?

                I just feel that the latest models look too overstyled, as if BMW is trying way too hard. Unfortunately the new G20 falls into this category as well IMHO :-[. For example, I like the F01 7 series too as it still looks elegant and slick but the G11 is just awful.

                  The new cars are overstyled and fussy to my eye too. The E92 is a far better looking car. Part of why I bought one.

                    ^The E92 M3 is still amazing and it looks gorgeous. Good bargain.

                      Thank you.

                      It’s one thirsty bugger though.

                        ^^the E platform was the best, for me E90 M3 in that case, sedans over coupes any day as a personal preference. i understand that some may think the new designs are over styled but we're looking at it retrospectively..

                        i feel the G platform fits in with the current design language for cars, looking a little futuristic if you want to put it that way. but could we have seen the E or F series the same way when it was back in 2005/2011 respectively?

                          This is the truck I use to keep my ranch supplied and running. It is a 1991 Toyota Bandeirante. Assembled in Brazil; powered by a MIJ Toyota 4 cylinder, 3500 cc diesel engine; it is a true workhorse. 2000 kg payload, it carries everything from cattle, fencing wire, lumber, generators, etc. The unsightly carrying box is super useful because all 3 sideboards lower independently.

                          It has a set of huge military style-treaded tyres (9.00 x 16) to help me move around in extremelymuddy situations.

                          She isn’t a looker but truly a useful beast.

                          The journey is the objective.

                              3.5 liters?  That's huge for a 4 cylinder.  Looks damn near indestructible, too.

                                  Toyota makes so many good work/4x4 trucks that we can't get in the US. I don't understand the economics or the reasoning. Wish they were sold here, prior to the 25 year import rule

                                      Oh, you might want to look into getting a side view mirror…

                                        Happy you guys and gals found my trustworthy Toyota interesting!

                                        @Chris - I misstated the engine specs…she’s actually a 3700 cc inline 4 cyl diesel. No turbo. The engine is so strong she gets the same mileage whether empty or fully loaded: 16 km/liter. And the mirror was lost after this mishap

                                        She was fully loaded then. We spent two hours offloadind, righting her and loading back up. That happened in a deep rut; luckily the dirt banks kept us at 45 degrees. She is less stable after I modified by bringing the leaf suspension from attaching under the axles to on top of them. Did that to reduce the frequency of getting stuck in deep mud. That modif and the extra large tires made me pay a price in stability.

                                        She doesn’t spend much time on roads so mirrors aren’t essential but I’ll soon get her one!

                                        @Sage954 - Toyota stopped building these in Brazil around 2003. They reckoned they would never be able to comply with upcoming emissions standards.

                                        I’ll be carrying lumber in her in a few weeks. I’ll try to get a nice pic to post here.

                                        The journey is the objective.
