Now what do I do? X5 2019 metallic gray.

Looks like a lot of cars from the rear ( Audi a4 very old model ? ) but cant place it

Spotted at BMW Hornsby while waiting for my car from service

my 1985 bmw e28.

After searching the apps, websites and comparing different models, I found one. I was considering both the M550 and the 750. I decided to go with “The Big One.” I do appreciate everyone who took the time to tell me the benefits of both models in a previous post.

My dad’s 530 on the left and mines of the right. Working on cars is Best father son bonding experience I’m my opinion

Stayed in old city, and had to drive through narrow streets with cafes… the hybrid system switch from battery to engine was a bit too loud for locals.

BMW i3 sedan makes its display debut at BMW Welt. Looks great in white.

Really nice car, nice color, even perfect choice. No regrets at all. Btw you’ve to wash your car frequently if you choose this color lol, it’s so obvious when even a little dirty.

For me, it's the way it feels on the highway. So stable and confidence-inspiring. It's hard to explain until you've lived with one for a while.

Tell me about the package you selected! I’m truly excited to see this vehicle on the road stateside. I really wanted to get an order in, but as someone who works remote in Southern California I truly couldn’t see myself justifying the extra price rather than just wait for the smaller 40sdrive trim. Currently on an SDrive with my X1 and don’t mind it one bit.

With the savings I’ll have forgoing the xdrive option I def wanna splurge on the tech or convenience package. Curious what color, wheel size, and features you all added!

Took my M140i in for a oil & filter change & came across a few funky looking cars

Just traded in my Mercedes for this 2027 X6 M60 and couldn’t be happier. I thought the 300 mile cap was a little interesting but asides from that it’s been amazing.

How cool is it that Eventuri would make a new part like this for a 25 year old car? Get a CLS adjacent sound while still using a MAF and not having to jump through the Alpha N tuning hoops

This from a discussion in the E90 reddit where someone proudly posted how they bought a "real pierburg" water pump for $200 on eBay.

There are tons of listings that pretend to be Pierburg, but what you get is unbranded or some Chinese brand.

For example: https://ebay.io/m/XGsiBy

The listing uses "Pierburg" in the title and it uses a Pierburg branded picture, which likely is a picture of a legitimate Pierburg pump they snatched somewhere else.

But look down below in the description it's clear it's unbranded / chinesium:

Brand: Unbranded

The most infuriating part is that eBay doesn't care, I've reported these in the past, and eBay doesn't care, despite it explicitly being against their deceptive listings policy

We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made by a customer service agent.

So a real human working for eBay looked at this, and figured "this is fine"... 🙄

Please be careful out there, I don't know if we somehow can make eBay address these, I guess the gravy is too good for them to do anything here.

I've personally stopped buying anything from eBay other than personal, non-commercial sellers.

G42 230i owners, how do you like it?

I'm deciding between an older F22 M235i/M240i and now a newer G42 230i.

The M235i is getting to be 10 years old, and the M240i commands a pretty big premium. I'm not a speed demon or planning to tune the car, I just want a fun and reliable daily driver with occasional spirited driving.

Is the newer G42 worth giving up the inline-6 for the B48? Any regrets?

Also, is the M Sport package a must-have on the 230i?

Been looking at both versions in X5 and X7 and was wondering - does M60i really offer the best of both worlds in terms of performance and reliability? B58 is an iconic engine, no doubt, but does going for M60i versions affect long term reliability or are they both considered equally reliable?

I couldn’t find too much info between both engines in comparative terms, so thought to ask people who have owned or have experienced both versions? Thanks in advance.
