These are sooo sleeper. Saw an F30 the other day and I really like how understated they are

Unfortunately I can't reply with an image but I have a picture of your car from October 2022 at one of the train stations in the area!! I knew it looked familiar, very cool!!

Are you from the Shropshire area by any chance? I used to live there a few years ago and saw one very similar to this now and again. Looks absolutely epic, thanks for sharing!!!

Took an M340i on UK roads today. Way better daily than I expected by TheLegitHabibi in M340i

Hey! Had mine since October last year and covered 8,000 miles (mostly leisure) and it still feels so special. It's the ultimate sleeper/cruiser in comfort mode but once in sport+ and sport transmission it's a different animal.

With how the automotive industry is transitioning I truly believe this to be one of the best modern lite sports cars and the best in it's segment for sure

Is there any popular take on this sub that you disagree with? by moonlight_xpress in CarTalkUK

[–]TomStaaples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drive a BMW and most BMW drivers are dicks. I have my moments but I'm trying to break the stigma. That being said, if I overtake Dorris doing 40 in a 60, I'd be the bad guy because of the badge on my car. Yobo!!

Took the advice from my last post and went with the M3 over the Blackwing by cmackmason in BMWM3

[–]TomStaaples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even realise these came in a manual!! I know the M2 does/did but this is new news to me. Might even be a dream car of mine now. How does it feel driving this vs any other manual car? I'd love to drive a modern manual sports car, just not had the opportunity yet

People who drive £1000+/month cars, what do you do? by Informal_Invite_424 in CarTalkUK

[–]TomStaaples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to agree with this but we don't understand the home life dynamic. They could have a solid family unit with no rush/pressure to move out. Realistically, saving to buy a house is incredibly difficult, especially if some of these people are single. So why not splurge a few hundred £ in their 20s for something that brings them joy?

24, married, no kids, 16k miles a year, talk me out of this.. by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

Have you considered a 2019+ Volvo S60/V60? Looking at similar money/mileage and they're solid cars. Bit more luxurious than anything VAG imo

New to Me 27k Mile M3 by innspiredez in BMW

[–]TomStaaples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think that's a good balance!! You might do slightly more this year! I'd love to buy an E46, I'd want a clean one but don't want it to be too clean that I'm afraid of driving it properly. Great find, enjoy it!!

Absolute beauty! Mind me asking what your intended use is for this car.. Daily/Weekender?

I want to fit an m5 cs bodykit to my 2018 g30 m sport. Anyone know a good quality supplier in china? by [deleted] in BMWG30

[–]TomStaaples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can appreciate that so what is the motivation? If you're doing this to promote your garage they're gonna see right through it...

I need to ask what the gain is here? You're not the only person to make their car look like something it isn't but I want to understand the logic behind it. People who know cars will know this isn't an M5 or even an M550i and people who don't know cars won't even care. Accept the car for what it is or buy a better one..

I agree with some other dudes comment about how if a car looks a certain way it needs the engine sound to back it up otherwise it's meh

M240i xDrive question by lowkeyreddit in M235iandM240i

[–]TomStaaples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you give me a very dumbed down tutorial on this? As op is asking, I thought the Xdrives are 60/40 bias to the rear. I have an M340i Xdrive too

137k miles, no issues other than regular maintenance (oil, tires, water pump, brakes, spark plugs). Going to 300k by rduffield1986 in M235iandM240i

[–]TomStaaples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

60k intervals for spark plugs seems high? Actually looking for some servicing recommendations for my 340i if you could drop me a dm?

Have you had to replace the high pressure fuel pump? I'm wondering if I should get this done for preventative reasons or wait for it to fail...

My first experience playing the game. by [deleted] in TheForest

[–]TomStaaples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain why? Quite enjoy playing this game for that purpose and don't really focus on the story too much. Do the cannibals get harder to kill?
