KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:The front of the TRD Avalon looks better than the M4 lmao How much of the “grill” area on the TRD Toyota’s is functional though? The M cars have plenty of radiators, and nice big open grills for rocks. Nothing wrong with that, nosiree bob. The world will soon divide. Forget the haves vs have-nots. The future is going to be the war between the all-grills and no-grills. I for one, welcome our all grill overlords. It means we are still enjoying ICE cars.

Climate collapse and mass extinction of humanity is literally a guarantee within the next 40 years so there's no sense worrying about ICE cars anymore

Ok so I might be an idiot and go see an E30 320 Touring that a dealer is selling. If I like it and decide to be an even bigger idiot, anything in particular I should look for besides rust/crash damage in wheel wells, boot, engine compartment etc? Edit: Even worse, it's a non-registered import from Finland, so I don't think I'll be able to drive it. GG. I've never seen one of these IRL though, so worth seeing it just for that.

If the Alpinas were a bit more mainstream and not ridiculously expensive niche, I could definitely see choosing an Alpina over an M for a daily driver/road trip car. They seem like pretty nice GT-oriented models, instead of track-oriented. But the prices for what you get are nuts.

Alpina was a cool, classic "tuner" in its day, not really around much nowadays. You'd have to be a real BMW goon to want one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChECnq9P6jc

I know we all do this here  and the cars look so much better without them, duh!.......... but removing those front orange reflectors technically is a violation of U.S. Department of Transportation code 49 CFR § 393.26 - Requirements for reflectors, and if you were say in some horrible multi-car accident and an observant attorney or inspector noticed your car was out of compliance, you would significantly increase the possibility of getting your rear end handed to you. So basically, keep some strips of orange reflective tape in your glovebox and definitely try to crawl out of the wreck and apply some to the front of your car while that bus full of screaming children is still burning.

I had never popped my head into AI outside of browsing through the odd goldmine thread, but I was wondering if there was a goon reaction on the leaked pictures from the plant, and was not disappointed.

I think he's talking about the M3 that has blue body color plastic inserts in the spot where the front reflectors go. Also no front license plate so we're looking at consecutive life sentences here.

I don't think the 1 series ever had side reflectors. yours are built into the headlight housing, just like the E46 sedans and I assume various other models, etc. and yeah, I saw the cut outs on the sexy Carbon Black M3 and just figured it was in the U.S.  here was my ILLEGAL! 2013 535......I wussed on the front plate though.

That is pretty fuckin' awesome. Keep in mind the tax implications, be ready to owe the government something, but otherwise enjoy the hell out of that!
