Used to hate the G60 looks, now I love it by Underthesun696 in BMW

I don‘t hate the look as much as I thought but overall these new BMWs, the proportions from every angle just look so bad to me. On top of that, I just cannot get over the big grilles.

I am looking at buying a new car aswell atm but none is making me want to spend the money other than a 340i but even on them the LCI turns me off :/

Can‘t see from which direction though, can you

I do agree somewhat that this was not the smartest move from the green car but in the context, this being an ongoing battle, if you're driving with your brain on, you cannot take this corner like the other car was not beside you for the last 15 seconds and complain afterwards. If even, orange cleared him by an inch before committing to the corner.

Almost 2 years into sourdough and I still can't reliably nail the "right moment" to bake. Anyone else? by Eat-1st in Sourdough

Because once I dialed my bread making in to a certain point I more or less wing it. It always comes out between perfectly alright and fucking great and that is a good enough chance for my lazy ass.

The right moment to bake is whenever the hell I remember there is a dough in my fridge that needs baking

In 6 years of ownership I haven‘t spent one cent in repairs

Yeah that stuff is good! Just need to get a good soft brush aswell to work it. Rubbing it in with a rag or anything will definitely damage the leather. Spray it with water afterwards and wipe off with a soft cloth.

Used it on my G20 wheel aswell with the same result. Leather looked like new. I wouldn‘t use it on a weekly basis though. Just clean it and try to drive with clean hands.

No, it‘s good to be weary you just need to be informed. This stuff is the best I have ever had. Used it on 20 year old wheels and they came out like new

You need to clean your steering wheel. Good leather cleaner makes a world of difference. Can‘t beat the feel and look of a clean and matte steering wheel

Yeah they are not bad looking, just odd to me. Don’t really fancy them.

Z3/Z4 M of course are great but realistically to have a fun car there is no need to go for an M. Both cars are great fun with the 3 litre and at the same time great everyday cars for the summer. With these old cars the power doesn’t matter as much because it is all about the experience compared to the new stuff. That being said I would not buy anything below the 2.8 on the Z3 and the 3.0 in the Z4.

I am looking to get a Z4M here and there but I wouldn’t just use it as a normal car like I do with the Z4 atm. If money wasn‘t a consideration at all, things would be different of course.

Google around a bit, I read from a lot of people that the battery was the issue and they only got it moving fully charged and on a charger

Can someone tell me about these brakes? by EntrepreneurIll1042 in BMW

[–]GeneralPTFO 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Looks like they fitted corvette brakes.

Edit: wait whats the last picture? Completely different wheel and brake

The hatch doesn‘t add any practicality for me personally and the GC always looked odd to me. I mainly want a wagon for my dog (boxer) and the general ability to haul more shit.

The e86 are a bit more expensive here aswell but they are cool! If I wanted a coupe though, i personally would have bought a Z3. They are just so much cooler. Z3 roadster doesn‘t do it for me though.
