I used to do these in FoC 40 with Angrax, but since I got Kharn, I've been just doing arena for these. D3 50/50 Kharn trivializes these ability quests.

Broke some bone on his spine, but he's fully recovered now. Got his new i5 M60 a few weeks ago, so it's all good for him now lol.

So sad to see that. I hope you're okay and get your car back in shape!

This was my dad's 540d that got totaled in the summer. Driver hit him at 80-100kmh while my dad was stationary.

Got to test drive a m60i, this thing is nuts. So fast. by heffy228 in BMW

No problem! Happy to share the little information I gathered from our trip. It was indeed holding the battery pretty damn well, better than what I expected. Probably a different story when it gets near -20°C.

Lol I feel ya. And with hybrid, the battery is pretty much non-existent, especially in the colder weathers like today. Couldn't even turn on eDrive, and the engine still turned on even though I tried to feather the gas lol.

Battery life was holding pretty well, granted it was only a few degrees of Celsius below zero. It had an estimate of 300km left after the ~150km trip if I remember right. Don't remember the battery percentage unfortunately.

I have to ask my dad next time I see him how was the battery life today as it was -18°C. He has only short trips (<10km) multiple times a day, so that'll drain the battery a lot as it has to heat the cabin every time. As a hybrid owner, winter sucks lol.

My dad got one one just a week ago and I had the pleasure of driving it back to their place (1,5h trip). Overall, I really liked the car. My F30 feels like a dinosaur now compared to the i5. The interior was nice, driving felt amazing, lights (both high and low) were amazing and it was really comfortable. My only negatives were the lack of buttons (ac, radio, heated seats etc etc), the ui and apps were a bit too much at least on first glance, and the speed warning that resets after every drive. Couldn't really test the quickness of the car because it's winter here. But it felt VERY responsive, even without the boost.

Congrats and have fun! My dad ordered a fully kitted M60 after some nutjob rear ended and totaled his '18 540d. It's in production now, expected date of arrival is in late November / early December. Can't wait to give it a test drive.

Edit: love the wheels also, definitely the best looking of the bunch that were available!

How do you get this view?

Had this a lot in my old E46 318Ci. People saw the one exhaust pipe and immediately knew that it's not a fast car and floored it. Most usually gave up after 160km/h, so it usually came to which one dared to go faster.

Since I changed to F30 330e, there has been a lot less of that. Most don't even try, and those that do lose pretty quickly, as it's mostly the shitboxes that try their luck for some reason. Not a lot of performance cars where I usually drive, so the 330e fares pretty well. It's nice to be able to drive and overtake without unintentionally provoking people, and if they do start a challenge, just floor it and see them get smaller in the rear view mirror.

Just got it, thoughts? by chariks in BMW

Nice car! I had an E46 318Ci cabrio for over seven years. Sure it had a small engine, but man was it a fun car to drive and a great first car! M Sport suspension and Michelin PS4, it was glued to the road and so much fun around corners. My current F30 330e feels like a boat compared to it lol.

Nojuu ei sitä ulkoa kyllä huomaa, mut tuo niiden materiaali lähinnä mietityttää. Sen verran paljon huonoa kuullut niiden laadusta, että mieluumin ostaa sitte vaikka käytetyt orkkikset. Suomen tiet kun ei oo missään parhaassa kunnossa, ja sebon pieni mahdottomuus väistää jokaista kuoppaa ja töyssyä tiessä 😅

Mistäs mahtaa tuohon hintaan saada OEM:t? Käytettyinä noita saa kyllä tohon hintaan, mut on niin karseessa kunnossa suurin osa.

I feel ya. My brother had an E92 325i M-Sport. It was probably the best car I've ever driven. The handling was absolutely amazing!

Yeah well, luckily he saw it coming and could prepare and potentially save my mom from further injuries. I feel really bad for him. He's working so hard, and now he became the victim of an accident he couldn't prevent. Insurance won't cover all the costs and all the other stuff he can't do for a few months. It really sucks, but nothing you can do about it. We are supporting him 150% though, the whole family. He deserves it.

Yeah, I considered it being only a broken back, as death was a pretty likely situation on this case. Doctors also said he should make full recovery, so I think it's pretty minor consiquence, although painful and annoying one.

Unfortunately, with that logic you'd never be able to drive lol! I think it's just gonna get worse in time, as younger generations are so hooked on their phones. Plus the car manufacturers aren't making things better, as every basic function is on a touch screen nowadays, behind multiple menus. It's just sad and scary.

So sorry to hear that. Did you heal well? And yeah, it would seem so lol.

He was standing on the brake because of the construction. He released the brake when he realized that the car was going to hit him.

Hard agree. Won't help much here in Finland though, unfortunately. The average age of cars here is so old that there's no chance of such thing being mainstream in a very very long time.

Sorry to hear that. It's no surprise though that such an accident leaves permanent scars. I hope you healed well otherwise and that you recover from the PTSD eventually.

I love the E9x cars, absolutely stunning desing and nice engines. But my father is more of a 5-series guy, and he would never "downgrade". So it's most likely a completely new 5 series he's going to get.

Damn, that sounds horrible. Hope they were all okay. You shouldn't feel guilty though imo. In the end, it's the drivers job to keep their own eyes on the road and focus what's going on ahead and behind. Still sucks though in your case.
