This what they call inflation, eh? You think that's ridiculous? In certain countries you have to pay a monthly subscription to use the heated seats, the UK included apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a car comes with full or a set high spec and you lease the extras you want, so for integrated apple car pay it's £3 per month, heated seats, £5 per month etc (not the actual figures but you get my drift). However, like many BMW's whereby you can interrogate the ECU and make changes to the gearbox etc thru mapping, I'm sure some enterprising young fella will find a way to enable these extras permanently for a one off cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closest thing to a plane taking off I have ever experienced personally, salesman let me take it up to 185Km/h,,,,in 3rd gear!.....to think they have added 200 HP since then is scary Cliff you got the M3 but M5 was too pricey? must have been before you made all those Golden Triangle connections on the Mekong, eh?

I used to regularly get the M3 up to 155mph but it was limited to that speed so that was it, i wonder what it would have done if not limited ? Bloody awesome car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I wouldn't call them cheap - I'll bet they cost a pile but they still look like crap on those old cars IMHO... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yessongs Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Just thought I would throw up these car pics. Aug 2021, back home in Calif. They had this show at Reid Hillview airport. My pick of the litter would have been that Blue 302 Mustang....guy told me someone has offered him $50k for it.....he still would not sell it. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
