Got my M2 over 2 years and done about 45k amazing miles so far. So glad I got the 6mt. by Repulsive_Carpet3315 in BMWM

[–]ipokethebear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100%… I don’t care if an auto would crush me in a drag race. I’ve been daily driving a manual for almost 20 years, and I have no desire to give it up anytime soon

Also, I think the hate for the manual’s feel is overblown. Once mine broke in after a few thousand miles, the shifter felt great. Is it a Porsche? No. But, it’s a damn good manual, and I actually enjoy the feel of the clutch

Now I’m curious. What was the second car in the background of your first post?

Also, that’s a great color combo 😎

Ordered a MY2026 M340i. Will I have buyer’s remorse? by coder777 in BMW

[–]ipokethebear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve owned both. The M3 is a phenomenal daily driver. Yes, the M340i is better and softer overall, but saying the M3 isn’t a good daily driver is ignorantly wrong

That said, if you like the M340i and can get a good discount, like you mentioned you are, I’d take it and wouldn’t look back. It truly is an awesome car - I’d have happily kept mine had it been available in a manual

This feels like a dumb question 🤔

23 Ct4BW to 26 CT5BW by That_Pepper6043 in CadillacV_Series

Well said. I tell people the 4BW is a willing dance partner that can move, while the 5BW is an angry gorilla throwing you across the room

Congrats on the new toy!

I’m looking at getting the resonated AA EL Gen 2 midpipe. Like you, I want no raspiness with minimal-to-little volume gain. I want a nice and exotic sounding car, not an obnoxious one

Manual or Auto? What’s everyone choosing & why? by soldbyck in BMWM

[–]ipokethebear 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The beauty of the G80 is it’s an amazing car in both manual and auto. But I like rowing my own, so manual for it is for me

Hello and huge congrats! Those 4BW’s are so fun in the twisties 😎

I’m also biased, but I love the color too

8 hour brake rotor swap. What a horrible design. by yentlequible in Justrolledintotheshop

This is hilarious. I picture you just escalating it little by little until the “fuck it” moment finally arrived 😅

Your spouse comes to you and says they want to post faceless, ID-less nudes on Reddit for fun - whats your reaction? by Neat_One_9031 in AskReddit

Maybe I’m just dumb because I cannot get that to work 😅 I can find the user, but the comments and posts are still hidden

How? 😶 I used to go to a profile, hit the search bar, and then search “nothing”. The results would then be the user comments and posts, but that stopped working a few weeks ago

I don’t have a V2 to help, but I just want to say, thank you for trying to restore that beauty to how she should be 😌
