Doofus or not, that's pretty cool. As Jalopnik pointed out, no one would've really cared if he drove an M5 or E63, but a Blackwing is something you don't choose by default or accident. Good enough for a $200billionaire.

My dealer did the exact same thing. I was furious.

But that's a Civic!

I usually drive with my windows open like an inch. Lets that great sound in without all the buffetting.

Sonax Wheel Cleaner + ceramic coated + pressure washer = this. Didn't touch them with anything else.

Only a couple of days - it has sat for longer. First time since I bought it and did the first password entry in February 2023.

That worked - thank you.

After 18 months of ownership, my BW started asking me for my Connected Services password. Not only do I not remember it, I can't figure out which email to locate in order to reset it. Any tips here? I'm not even quite sure what it's for as I basically just use Android Auto for everything, and...

Agree with some of this and disagree with others. On the v2 wagon vs. 5BW, it's hard to say which one will be more sought-after. I slightly lean to the wagon, but the 5BW being the last manual V8 sedan after the MT took a generation off - and being an all-around great car like the v2 wagon -...

Yesterday I went for a drive specifically to get my son to nap. Since I was in no hurry, I set cruise at 65, with a little bit of traffic. 25 miles, out and back on the same highway (which has some hills), an honest 30mpg in a 5BW! I might have to drive the speed limit more often... J/K!! 🤣

Agreed, I think a 7-8 second 0-60 is probably ideal for a kid - plus a driver education course.

Judging by the stupid stuff I did as a teenager with a 140hp Integra and how this car goads even a calmer, older, more mature version of me to do stupid stuff, I do hold the parents somewhat accountable. No teenager should have access to a car like this without supervision. The fact he was...

Great link, thank you. I just wish they had said over what time period/mileage the failures were. I do think a certain (low) percentage of failures is to be expected. That's why commercial airliners have backup systems, and backups to the backups. Even Honda, #1 by a large margin in the list...

I can't say I worry about it too much. That's what a warranty is for (not that I WANT that to happen), and if it hasn't blown by 6yrs/70k, it's probably in the clear. I was hoping it was just due to a "bad batch of parts" but since blown engines now span MY22-MY24, I doubt it can be blamed on...

Prettied it up for Monterey Car Week

It is pretty funny that the new M5 added an ungodly heavy PHEV system to a twin-turbo V8 to get to 717hp, and then this comes out making 1,064 with no hybrid assist at all. And with a flat plane crank and revving to 8k!

Know this is old and maybe a dumb question, but how did you apply the black paint while keeping the colored parts? I'd love to do the same thing, and save some $ while I'm at it!

It just LOOKS heavy moving around, and sounds like nothing.

New M2 does have a (BMW) manual.

Other than it consistently shows up a month or two AFTER new model year production starts, which is dumb. I want to say sometime in July-August typically.
