Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted January 12, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 12, 2018 6 minutes ago, Angry ginger said: it's small inside with no back seat room at all, i think the traverse is better in most ways, but for just myself it's got just enough power and the stereo is decent so it works for me. If it wasn't for the handful of times i've been inconvenienced by not having a truck bed i would say i can pound it for another 2-3 years and 50-60k miles but one day I will go and pull the trigger on a new pickup i am sure or I need to find a good enough deal on a used one to dump the boys jeep and let him drive the pickup so i have one in the household. I deal with Townsend ford. Their prices cant be beat. When I bought my 2015 f 250 they were 6k less then Unique for the same truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I mean...epic failures. I figured maybe it was just a lemmon so we picked up a used 2007 X5 with for my daughter. I've busted my knuckles in it half a dozen times now and it's been in the shop at least once a month since we've had it. That's it for me. Just not my brand.

Snake Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Sold the 330i to get my 350Z. 2 325xi, handed them both down to the daughters. Both over 220k now. 328i convertible. Wear items. X5, nothing but maintenance and recall work on the history, and I forgot I had to swap out 1 coil. $50 and 30 minutes. But don't get me started on tire wear.

Well they were wrong, my wifes $700 40k mile service got knocked back to what the maint schedule required which was about 150 and my buddy got his cut by 700 after a written 1000 estimate turned into a 1700 charge before they would release the vehicle to her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted January 12, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 12, 2018 Townsend takes good care of me. That being said I have bought 7 vehicles off them in the last 11 yrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s important for long distance, summer road trips. At the same time it’s ready to eat up a Colorado canyon road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take that back, the hood froze shut last week. Yeah but it's not a pickup and everybody is well aware of how flawless your used BMWs are.

I've had a blast with Vettes on the track, incredible handling. I've drove a C7 at the track below, this guy is driving like a girl at the 1:40 mark starts a straight where he should hit 130 before braking deep with a NA 6.2.

With nannies all at work the vette is fine. Without them it’s a evil car. You can’t deny that. The last generation of vette is basically a warmed up ham sandwich in the shadow of the mid-engine release. I prefer the balance feel of a beemer or Audi.

Sorry, German engingeered stuff is just built better. Just have a hookup for those times you might need an alternator or a wheel bearing. Want to pull the trigger this spring on something, and I'm waffling back and forth between a Denali or X5 5.0. Leaning German just for the day to day drive experience alone. I get about 50k average for a set of tires on the MLs I've owned...you worse than that? I have 19s on the 550.

I tracked two of my vettes and they are excellent on balance. One of the only ones that are close to a 50/50 front-back weight split. I think it’s 49/51.

Yeah...I heard that whole “German engineering” thing too. Pretty much convinced it’s just their weapons at this point. Besides, capitalists caught driving Nazi rigs are getting “the wall” first! I think I heard that anyway. Not sure...it seems like a lot of these rules and threats are shit that is just made up on the fly for some reason.
