Unfortunately, that is why my splitter isn't solid mounted anymore. Square tube slots into square tube bolted to the chassis at the rear, wires up front behind the air dam to prevent downward movement but allow upward movement, otherwise you're gonna bend poo poo

This tire shop that was recommended just jacks your car up in the parking lot to pull the wheels :allears:

Next you're going to ask me if they used a torque wrench :lol:

e: I'm actually going to have to go back up there to have them loosen the lug nuts so I can properly torque them. I watched them and they didn't exactly go hog wild but I can't break some of them.

e2: 40-44 psi in each one! At least it looks like they didn't gently caress up any of the wheels!?!?

In my search for an e90 I'm kinda tempted to just get a decent black car and wrap it.

I know you were being flippant but after looking at it, you may be right. Might get rid of the GTI and get an i3 to commute in and have a GT Convertible for longer trips

It'll follow the usual cycle. At launch it will be poo poo but one or two people will post them in here. In 3-5 years it will be slightly less poo poo, and some people will start to post them in here since it's getting cheaper. In 10 years it will be coming on 2 generations old, it will be cheap enough that many people in here will be able to get them, but the 6-speeds will be unobtainium and the car will be god-tier status. The f8x will be skipped over amongst all this akin to the e36, though it will have its fans.

Yes. A 1-year gap between generations is typical. We'll see the G80 sometime in the middle of next year as a 2021 model.

Hopefully they can work some magic with the looks of the G cars because I'm not a fan of them at all in regular narrow body form.

I just don't understand why every dealer in the country decided that the non-M f3x fascia was acceptable and just ordered a gently caress pile of them. Finding a Msport vert 435 is proving incredibly difficult.

TL;DR

In addition to the three-door 1 Series, 2 Series Gran Tourer, and 3 Series GT, tombstones are being chiseled for the 2 Series convertible, standard-wheelbase 7 Series, Z4 replacement (sorry, Toyota), and both two-door 8 Series variants.

BMW has also given the green light to the brand-new X8... which will be exclusively offered in M Performance and X8 M forms.
