Hey man, fair to criticize my F1 coverage. Two things at play here. First is that the sooner we publish, the higher we show up in search results. So I pub first and then copy edit. All of those errors were fixed less than 10 minutes after publication, before I saw this comment. Only thing still there is “sealed… Read more

Unrelated to this story, but this is my last post on Jalopnik for the time being and I wanted to say goodbye to everyone. I’ve absolutely loved my time here and I’ll miss my coworkers and the commenting community a lot. I’m sure you’ll eventually see me here again at some point, but stay tuned to Road & Track where… Read more

I honestly haven’t paid attention yet, I close my doors all the way! Read more

No, I don’t like the grille but it isn’t offensive. Read more

Yes, yes, yes and I find the brake pedal super easy to modulate. Read more

I don’t think any 7 Series has ever been exciting to look at. Handsome, sure, but not exciting. Read more

hey man, you like what you like. I don’t find it offensive in person, but I’m not a fan. Read more

I’m still getting autoplay. No one hates it more than us, since we’re on the site all day. Read more

ya lost me, but it does have 12v outlets if that helps Read more

that’s not a bad idea, but given that the hood, fenders and intakes are reshaped to accommodate a bigger grille it might be hard to offer two fully distinct options. Read more

they also made my parent’s dishwasher, so really a jack of all trades Read more

it’s got active shutters on the grille, but when they’re open nothing looks blocked off. That being said, they definitely could have done it with a smaller grille and they have put this engine on many cars with smaller grilles. Read more

It’s significantly bigger than a george forman grill. Read more

Well the 750i doesn’t have a traction control system that’s cutting power and full of gremlins, so one point to the Bimmer. It’s also faster, has better seats, quieter and drives better. The LS is still just as comfortable, though. Read more

That’s a good 7 series. Read more

As with the bangle cars, I think people will actually buy into a more unique looking car -- even if it’s uglier! -- rather than get a design that blends in. You’re buying a $126,000 car, you want people to know it. Read more

The paint color is actually amazing, but it hasn’t been sunny here to get a good picture. Basically, it’s exactly what you said. It’s yellow in direct light and otherwise grey.

Apparently owners told BMW that the car wasn’t visually distinctive enough. I don’t think the grille looks good, but I get it from a marketing perspective. It looks extremely BMW and also conveys that you have the Big Boi Bimmer, helpful since the 2019 one was so visually similar to a 5 Series. Read more

I mean, define “work.” If you know exactly how to talk to it and use it, yeah it works. It’s super good at getting addresses and points of interest, to the point where I can confidently say “hey BMW take me to [house #] [street] [city]” in a natural voice without pauses and most commands work well. But there are weird… Read more
