I can't fit in my E92 with a helmet either. I wish I had slick-top but only 3 or 4 were made in 335is trim.

I am ~6'4" and it is painful driving the car with helmet on. Not sure how I will ever do HPDE. :(

I'm 6'5" and the E46 and F22 both feel roomy to me, so BMWs definitely sit low

Kinda same. I feel like the seat in my F31 is adjusted quite a bit higher than in my old GTI. My head is definitely closer to the ceiling.

I think it's because the BMW's hood is longer, so I feel like I need to sit up higher to see past it? I'm definitely happy to have radar sensors on the front when parking.

went out for a drive today, did some lurid skids.
got home, discovered my external mic that's taped to my rear bumper wasn't working because I think my gopro hero 4's USB-mini port is dying. So the internal mic picked up interior noise including the low-volume Howard Stern that I had on and wasn't even listening to :negative:

anyone know if you can plug a lavalier mic into one of these camera's mini-HDMI ports? Or are those output only?

Blue over Black with Carbon Leather dash, excellent color combo. It does have the popup nav, which I didn't like in my coupe. The convertibles look amazing with the top down. Amazing cars and this one seems to be a steal.

Finally made some progress on painting the re-manufactured calipers I picked up. Primer is down and they're ready for paint tomorrow. I managed to spray all 4 caliper brackets and calipers with a single can of primer. Last coat went down right as the can ran dry. I had forgotten how tedious painting is. Ignore the messy rear end garage please.

Disappointing to know that mine would only net me $10k at the absolute upper end if I pretty it up. Oh well, daily it every day until the comet hits I guess

I think of the dollar difference between what I paid for a car and what I sold it for as the fee for driving/enjoying the car for that time. Always ends up being worth it to me.

Hey Residency Evil -- from the sound of his posts the last couple of days, that guy with the red E90 with the left rear door ding is getting pretty desperate. He's got an M2 that just arrived and needs the car gone, he sounded like he'd be ready to negotiate down some...

Hah yeah, I saw that. I've actually got a flight scheduled to Charlotte for a wedding that's going to get moved. Not sure how desperate he'll be by then, but hoarding money now sounds like a decent idea too.

I mean... you can't do burnouts with massively deflated post-society dollars.

But... that car would be an awesome tale of how you survived and, indeed, thrived during the pandemic. It's got 4 doors, you can always sleep in it if you lose your house and job... :v:

I couldn't believe the prices at a rural Chevron off the freeway a couple days ago. I gave the M2 a $24 fill-up which blew my mind

Gas in the city is still like $3.99 though...

I put 3 gallons of 99 octane in on top of 4 or 5 gallons of 91 (as high as we get here in clear-aired California) and it only cost $30!

If you stop at a track you can get 100 octane. Thunderhill and Chuckwalla both have it :v:

I paid $30 for a fillup from a quarter tank of 93 octane about a week ago. I actually got out of my car and took a closer look at the pump to make sure that was accurate because I couldn't believe it.

Lookit you plebs going on about gas prices. I have been giving it the expensive gin - ethanol free premium grade that is $3.99 a gallon while the swill of my turbochurged ferd (premium) is dipping to ~2.30/gallon.
