They didn’t read into this story, so they didn’t know that Choi messed with a government agency.

Hey Doug! Did you know that there's a Lego model for a Lamborghini Countach?? It's even white just like yours! Dude, you totally need to get it!!

[@chartreux1532]

4:00 Glad that Doug and Nick both point out how the Internet always loses their Mind over each new BMW since over 20 Years and it never matters because they still sell well (besides the XM of course) but as they also point out, the XM didn't sell well because of it's insane Price compared to what you get, not because of the Looks.

[@iOSAT]

Replace with Porsche and 911 and you can have the same conversation

[@AD-se7ty]

When Kennan questioned why folks weren’t buying a used Bentley because they were so cheap for so much car, Fillipo replied because you have to afford the maintenance, Fillipo became my “go-to” Guy on this podcast. I’m still extremely relieved a podcast like this finally exists!!

[@saberterminal871]

why is BMW constantly messing with the grill? its the most iconic part of the styling and they just love reinventing it constantly for some reason.

[@tiisetsorammego3053]

BMW continually reinvents its grille design to balance tradition with modernity, signaling innovation and appealing to contemporary aesthetics. This iconic feature differentiates new models in a competitive market and adapts to functional needs like aerodynamics and sensor integration. Larger grilles are also designed to improve air intake, which enhances engine cooling and overall performance, particularly in high-performance models. By updating the grille, BMW responds to evolving consumer preferences and maintains its position at the forefront of automotive design. The blend of heritage and innovation ensures that each new model is both a nod to the past and a step into the future, keeping the brand relevant and exciting.

[@cyjanek7818]

imo this leak looks fine, XM too. Its way too big in XM but not terrible. I still dont like new M4 (G80 i think)

[@justinborysenko3885]

I worked at a Toyota store in 1992. We had a turbo Supra leftover 1991 that was there forever. One guy offered me 10k under sticker and my boss considered it. We sold every land cruiser for 10k over…

[@fenrirslip]

I don't think that the BMW XM was meant to be BMW's answer the the Mercedes G-Wagon. Maybe part of it was the intent, but primarily I believe that the XM was BMW's take on the high-performance SUV market to compete with the likes of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT or the Aston Martin DBX 707. The thing is, BMW already has these performance SUVs that compete with the likes of those by Porsche, Aston Martin, etc. and that's the X5 M Competition/X6 M Competition. Not only do they make pretty solid power at 617 horsepower, but they're lighter and perform way better than the XM. Really the only thing that the XM has going for it is that it's a status symbol just like the G-Wagon since the majority of people wouldn't take the new one off-road. Lastly, the XM is also just a huge slap in the face for BMW's M Division if you ask me. It's the second vehicle in BMW's history that was sold solely as an M-branded vehicle, with the first one being the M1. Simply put, the fact BMW decided to follow up the M1 with an overpriced, heavy, and weirdly designed SUV is really disappointing.

[@Jacobk66]

X5M is smaller, better looking, better performing, just as luxurious (even can get a real glass roof) and more practical. It’s literally better at everything.

[@fenrirslip]

@@Jacobk66 It's also funny when you consider that the XM is on the same platform as the X5, which makes it even less appealing. xD

[@cyjanek7818]

But if it was their attempt at DBX 707 etc equivalent they would make it more powerful, I think both you and Doug could be right because this car fails similiarly in both attempts

I had an Audi S4 that the carfax said it had structural damage and no accident history. The auction house is the place that reported it. I had a body shop look over the car and they said it had never had any structural damage ever. Carfax would not remove it even with their report. It also did not show on the carfax when I bought the car.

[@diysecuritygear9594]

Funny thing is Carfax reports my car has 279,000 miles and I can't get it removed. Uh the number is 27,900. The person at the dealership fat fingered the milage.

Doug is the kind of guy to have 4 cars for storage reasons and then buy a race track

[@vcall6121]

To say willow springs is “wayyy out there” is very misleading, Doug lives in San Diego (the bottom of CA, it’s 3 hours from LA. So if you’re him yes it’s about 4 hours away from him. If you’re like anyone else who may be interested willow spring is in Rosmond, CA, it’s just out the Antelope Valley (Lancaster, Palmdale) which is 60 miles north of the heart of LA. It’s actually LA county. However the race track is technically in Kern county, rosmond is the first city in kern county coming from LA. Realistically if you’re anywhere near LA, willow springs is about an hours drive +\- . So technically DOUG is WAYYY out there. He’s in Mexico.

[@Welcome2Slaggers]

Filippo is very quick searching cars online. He’s doing a better job at using the laptop than Kennan. I hope we keep Filippo in charge of the laptop screen.

[@proper_miles]

Gotta correct this around the 33:39 mark… Driven properly, you can get 30,000-40,000 miles out of a clutch in an F1 transmission. Most of the wear and tear comes from everyone trying to “smooth out” the shifts. You hear all these tricks about lifting the gas and feathering and so on… Smooth shifts are what wear the clutch. If you just let the system shift the way it’s designed to, the clutch life doubles. The more aggressive the shift, the less wear.

A fix for your drain plug dilemma, use a shop vac on the oil in side and the suction should keep the oil from spilling out the bottom.

To change the oil plug without losing too much oil, put a shop vac running on the top fill. Creates a vacuum of sorts.

I am so amazed by the Porsche Turbo S beating so many super and even hypercars in 0-60. Why is that? It's not super light and doesn't have much HP. Why can Porsche beat physics?

[@doublehh666]

It’s the PDK and launch mode which makes the superior 0-60 vs supercars. But at quarter mile and of course longer the new supercars all pull and surpass the Turbo S handily. Watch the newest Carissa drag race video . Shows it clearly. But I guess for a brief run, the Porsche driver can feel vindicated for his or her purchase. Besides, anything over 85 isn’t public road territory unless one wants to be on social media globally getting wrecked or arrested.

[@cyjanek7818]

Wide tires, good suspension setup, low center of gravity and gearing that works for it. Also good software for traction control, very important but oftn ignored because it doesnt sound "cool" for car enthisiast that act like they can launch it without help

The problem of all luxury suvs is that all kind of point to the same "ethos". If i was a exotic car manufacturer I would build something more rally-y, like the sterrato or 911 dakar, or more brutal like a Dakar buggy style. At the end is to show off in a boulevard, and there are very few things more spectacular than a lifted super car with a extreme buggy style
