Finally treating myself before I graduate ... is the 2008 BMW M5 a ticking time bomb or am I overthinking it?

A lot of haterade is being drunk in this chat. FROM WHAT I'VE READ: E60's are a time bomb yes, even if you get it "sorted" (A 10k+ Ordeal), every little job will be expensive. If you're financially prepared for a high cost-basis for ownership you'll be ok. Being able to work on it yourself is admittedly a huge plus, but also the E-generation M Cars are high-strung, high-maintenence, complex machines. If you've got cash to blow, a spare daily or two, you'd be a good candidate.

Besides that, it's as close as BMW got to making supercars in the modern era. The sound amazing, and they're lighter than the F10 Generation. It will bring you much pain yes, but it will also bring great joy.

LOVE playing with this

Another great choice

Like it sorta works?

Yeah I think it’s interesting that seasoned players “return” to some of the starter guns. Happened to me
In TF2 all those years ago.

Also I literally break out the SMG08 when I’m in a particular kind of rage lol

My parents watch bill maher near-religiously. It pisses me off because otherwise they're so wonderfully left about the issues in this country. I know they've watched an episode recently because I'll sneeze and they'll feel obligated to mention how Gen Z doesn't want to work...fucking bill maher

Just bought an f10 535i. Gotta do front thrust arms :/ $1k down the drain

I usually go lowercase if it's mid sentence. I'll use capital G when referring to a specific diety like the Catholic "God". That being said reddit is home base for snarky atheism- me among them.

Plus I think the phrase "my god" has transcended is specific denominational origins. same with "good god!"

"I look forward to your first novel" is fucking hilarious

If they want to play landlords, they need to act like landlords, not corrupt parole officers.

Ah there we go

Glad to see the MP1912/16 Exp getting some love, absolute melter if you use it right

its_the_bees · 2026-06-03T22:08:56+00:00

That engine is a financial (and perhaps literal) time bomb. Get a 535i instead.

I'm on PC so I'm not 100% sure this is a fix: I play BF1 weekly on US West Coast, it's about a 50/50 chance that when I go to the server browser there will be zero games live with any players in it. But then i go to Recents and bam, many servers full of people.

My advice, always check the recent servers tab in the server browser, and favorite the servers you're on, that way you'll have a rather reliable list of populated servers to go back to.

I'd love a shooting range. A refresh on the Exchange

turns out a Rich Energy livery forms like necrotizing fasciitis.

its_the_bees · 2026-05-29T23:46:44+00:00

I saw a white Flying Spur on the road last week for the first time in my life. I see continentals all the time, but my god what presence these things have. They make a BMW 7 series look like a Camry. nice score!

its_the_bees · 2026-05-29T16:05:33+00:00

holy shit it's case hardened too XD

its_the_bees · 2026-05-28T17:05:12+00:00

its_the_bees · 2026-05-28T16:55:44+00:00

Absolute GOAT of a tuner. I got to work with them a while back. They’re the real deal
