    Considering buying a buyback 5BW - blown motor issues resolved?

    Yeah, my E92 335i went through that. By the time it happened to me, they (I think) kinda knew what to do, so I got a new pump and new programming for the DME, or whatever computer monitors the pressure. I suspected that they didn't really fix the pump problem, but just changed the parameters...

    LOL to the math savants here. As others have noted, the odds are with you. But if it literally makes you sick and you can't enjoy it, then get rid of it. Don't save it for the next guy. Go find something that you can afford and not worry about. It's like those guys who worry about their...

    Anyone else notice how he wrote 6000 words and then slipped this in near the end? Holy smokes dude! That will certainly change your perspective on life. Glad you survived OK and hope you are well now.

    I don't remember who it was or where, but I think it was a Colombian government official who said something along the lines of "it's not our fault that illegal drugs go into the USA. If they stop the demand, we'll stop sending it." Unfortunately, that's the basis of it, as suggested earlier in...

    There is a convertible Supra, it's called the Z4. Unfortunately, it's fugly. As for the tariff discussion, they had Robert Lighthizer on 60 minutes last night. Mr. L has been a economic advisor to several administrations since Reagan, including T's first one. He (Mr. L) is, dare-I-suggest...

    Considering buying a buyback 5BW - blown motor issues resolved?

    I got a little bug last month and perused autotrader/cars.com to see what BW were going for. Most of the cars (more than half for sure) that I saw listed had either replacement engines or were unspecified buybacks. Most prices reflected that. I'd suggest that future resale wouldn't be hurt...

    What would you do?

    Ha! One look at those little driving lights, and I would have let you go. Obviously someone not to be messed with. I jest, mostly because I can't remember if those things were an option. OK, so years ago I had a C5 Z06. I street raced some ricer in a Prelude. Yes, a Prelude. LOL, he...

    So, back to the point of this thread: the OP wants to buy some cars. Aside from the obvious financial impact (which he says is not currently an issue, good for him!) for me the biggest issue has always been storage. But then I thought about it last night, and people that have serious money...

    What would you do?

    LOL to all of you guys. I had a vanity plate on my first plastic car. I worked with a woman who had her name (let's say it was Brenda) on her Porsche 944, and she got rid of the plate. I asked her why, and she said that she'd be driving through town and guys would yell at her "Hey Brenda!"...

    What would you do?

    So I was driving to work yesterday and at a red traffic light I'm behind a C5 Corvette, a bright yellow one, nice and clean, some kind of silly vanity plate on it, and there's one car in front of him and it's three lanes of traffic in 45MPH zone where everyone does 55+. It's dry and clear and...

    How much of that noise is fake?

    Last year I took a potential BW buyer for a ride, and at one point I rolled down the windows so that he could hear the great sounds better. IMHO it was actually quieter with the windows down. So that lends credence to the hypothesis that a lot of the sound is piped-into the stereo system. And...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I washed my car yesterday. Sorry, no pics. You've probably seen what a clean car looks like though.

    The German Tank Problem

    Are we sure that they start the numbers over every model year? Asking for a friend.

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Bummer. Similar things have happened to me too, but usually on a watch, not a car.

    CT5-V Blackwing Extended Warranty Pricing

    Counterpoint: with so few miles on the car in nearly 3 years, why waste money on a warranty?

    CT5-V Anyone else had the Infotainment not boot up on engine start?

    Ha! You want electrical gremlins and infotainment not working right, buy a BMW. This has only happened to me once, but it really bugged me too.
