sounds like a tesla model 3 at 35k

2018-07-18 03:06:24 UTC  

Everything else in WEC GTE Pro represents a road car that has actually been sold to customers besides the BMW.

2018-07-18 03:07:39 UTC  

well I bet most people won't buy the m8

2018-07-18 03:08:01 UTC  

few people have a dockyard or shipping port to park in

2018-07-18 03:08:18 UTC  

Haha

2018-07-18 03:14:25 UTC  

I thought you were gonna say they'll buy the 835i X-Drive M badged non-M model instead.

2018-07-18 03:32:22 UTC  

@Fitzydog i was driving

2018-07-18 03:32:33 UTC  

Also i was tagged because...?

2018-07-18 03:33:10 UTC  

Because badge engineering is a bad business move

2018-07-18 03:33:13 UTC  

Also yeah, bmw has kinda fucked up with watering down the M badge

2018-07-18 03:33:32 UTC  

Uh...at what point was i arguing for that?

2018-07-18 03:33:56 UTC  

If you mean the convo yesterday, i was arguinf for getting away from badge engineering

2018-07-18 03:33:59 UTC  

I'm joking, pipe down lol

2018-07-18 03:34:12 UTC  

?

2018-07-18 03:34:15 UTC  

Not mad

2018-07-18 03:34:24 UTC  

Just confused lol

2018-07-18 03:34:52 UTC  

Bmw and mercedes need to quit making an amg/m version of every car tho

2018-07-18 03:35:11 UTC  

Or at least make the M/amg cars actual amg/m cars

2018-07-18 03:35:32 UTC  

GLS63? If there is a market for it, sure

2018-07-18 03:35:57 UTC  

GLE45? The fuck are ya thinking, mercedes?

2018-07-19 14:21:53 UTC  

Willing to bet it is gonna be an apoearance package, _maybe_ a suspension upgrade, and like 10hp added if any at all.

2018-07-19 16:14:03 UTC  

I'm thinking clearly nismo now means as much to nissan as m does to bmw

2018-07-19 17:14:05 UTC  

So

2018-07-19 17:14:32 UTC  

I was gonna say tiken performance additions, but thats unfair

2018-07-19 17:14:45 UTC  

M does at least mean significant performance still

2018-07-19 18:41:50 UTC  

what are you talking about, there's literally an "m sport" option available which is aesthetic

2018-07-19 18:43:08 UTC  

the same way as there are aesthetic amg line options for mercedes, I think the a class has some bullshit "engineered by AMG" option that makes the boring ones look near identical to the A45 amg

2018-07-19 18:43:31 UTC  

Oh yeah those

2018-07-19 18:43:34 UTC  

Fair point

2018-07-19 18:43:49 UTC  

Forgot they have proper M and "ghetto M" as well

2018-07-19 18:44:18 UTC  

Funny story

2018-07-19 18:44:34 UTC  

So a 2012 Prius is about $16,500 in my area. It averages 55mpg, has terrible driving dynamics, is slow as fuck, etc.

2018-07-19 18:44:48 UTC  

My car, a 2014 Chevy Cruze - ergo, two years newer - cost me about $9,000. After adding a $300 short ram intake, it averages 49mpg, has great driving dynamics, is actually okay when it comes to speed, has a fun 6speed manual, etc.

2018-07-19 18:45:09 UTC  

And they both have the _exact same level of comfort_

2018-07-19 18:45:42 UTC  

Why tf do people buy Priuses again?

2018-07-19 18:46:03 UTC  

credit where credit is due, my bet is the prius is more reliable

2018-07-19 18:46:17 UTC  

With the hybrid powertrain, that's iffy

2018-07-19 18:46:28 UTC
