    Driver engagement? Selling/buying...

    740i. 2022 means G11 (LWB) and this one has 40K miles, a year/10K of warranty left, really nice condition, pretty well loaded except for B&O, and I had that on a previous BMW and I'm probably better off without it.

    So, who keeps track of the used car market prices?

    Are you going to sell (auction) it?

    So, who keeps track of the used car market prices?

    I doubt that 3K miles would make that much difference, and they didn't ask about options and such. Maybe I should talk to your guy?

    Reverse tilt mirrors quirk

    The button inside the handle must be pressed in order for the door to unlatch. Or perhaps you have a CT4, which has different handles? It helps if you list the car that you own. Also, sometimes my mirror tilt stops working. I have to change the settings (turn it off) drive a bit, change it...

    When Do You Change Your Oil?

    I used to commute 14 miles each way, about half city, half congested highway. My oil service indicator dropped like a rock, relatively speaking. Now I've got a 35 miles commute each way, all but about 5 miles are uncongested 70+ MPH highway. The service indicator hardly moves. So yes, it is...

    You made some excellent points, thank you. I did have yesterday off, so I test drove a new E-class with the four cylinder mild hybrid. I really dislike 4's, but they have adequate power these days, and the Mercedes is so quiet that you hardly hear the thrashing. The tech in the car was just...

    So, who keeps track of the used car market prices?

    The problem is, V8 RWD aside, is the changing marketplace, and increasing technology in cars. So, any new medium-sized luxury or near luxury sedan is going to have a 4-cylinder engine, with the luxury (BMW, Audi, M-B) lines optionally providing a 6. Either way, it's going to be a "mild hybrid"...

    Underwhelming A/C

    I live near the OP and my black/black car sits outside when I'm working, and yes, it takes quite a while for it to cool down. Usually about a minute or two before I get home (40 minute commute) I'm starting to get comfortable. But mostly it's just the heat continuing to radiate off of the...

    So, who keeps track of the used car market prices?

    I don't have it handy, but I seem to recall that it was around $100K OTD, back in 2023. A base 2025 CT5VBW is now $97,600 plus destination, so call it $99K.

    So, who keeps track of the used car market prices?

    Good point. I should have expanded the poll options. Even though I've changed my mind, I'm going to leave the poll up to see what kind of answers we get.

    Driver engagement? Selling/buying...

    Update: I borrowed the A6 last night. Disappointing. I'm not surprised though, honestly. I was going to borrow it for the entire day, today, to really get a feel for it, but after about 3 miles I already knew that it wasn't going to work out between us, so I took it back. I think that the...

    So, who keeps track of the used car market prices?

    As I ponder a new DD to take the load off of the BW, I also consider just selling the BW as it is an expensive car to keep as a "spare" and I do have limited storage space. I hate to see it go, but life must continue. I proposed it to BaT, and they want a 80K reserve. I think that's low, I...

    Right? And I'll never forget the first time, she was crying, "oh, my poor car!" And all I could think to say was, "oh, my poor house!". The second time was no more than a week or two after we bought her Porsche Macan S. I said something incredibly sensitive like "do you not use the fucking...

    I've had 5 Corvettes. Women are not attracted to them, but men are. If that's your boat, then you'll do well. If you want wimmen, get something cute like a Miata.

    Driver engagement? Selling/buying...

    Yeah, the garage is tall enough, I believe (14 ft.?) but it's going to be a real challenge parking a car in-between those posts. And then getting the car out. We have a side-load garage, so it requires a sharp turn (or turns) to get cars in and out. The wife has hit the house twice. I now...

    Driver engagement? Selling/buying...

    You guys have some great ideas, but I think you're missing my two primary desires here... the CT5 is a high bar, but I want something even more comfortable but especially more quiet. I'm leaning towards keeping the BW along with getting the audi... BTW my other cars (wife's) is a macan S and...

    Driver engagement? Selling/buying...

    Hmmm. Had not thought of that, the LC is gorgeous albeit expensive, and I didn't know that they still made the IS500, which is in the good price ballpark, but I'm worried may be as dull to drive as the IS350 is, and there are none anywhere near me to try. I think I mentioned above, I can get a...

    It wouldn't be the first time... ;) Supra is gone, the market is strong with that one, and I got out of it rather painlessly. I did take it the track, had a bad spin, toasted the tires and had a come to Jesus moment as I was spinning, thinking to myself, maybe I shouldn't be doing this in a...

    Well, that didn't last long. It's black on black, 6-spd, 9500 miles... PM if interested I guess you missed the part about wanting a comfortable quiet ride. I wish I could. HOA.

    Apologies in advance for what will likely be a long and rambling post. I think I know what most of you will suggest, but I'm interested to hear all opinions. I've had the CT5-V BW for 19 months now. It's been basically problem-free, never seen the inside of the service department. I do my...
