My thought was that 320ti could be the Turbo, and 320it would be Touring. But then you run into the issue of a turbo touring. A 320tit, maybe? In retrospect, kind of an awesome problem to have. Read more

Which is an entirely fair extension. I'd just like to see some Apple-style hubris, where they just don't care about what the consumer thinks they want. Read more

I once saw an M5 that had replaced the M5 badges with "520d" and I had a small accident in my pants. Sleepers are the best. Read more

Eero Saarinen is my favorite architect! How could I forget the technical center? I am ashamed. Read more

What's surprising is that Volvo's headquarters is actually almost this boring. Read more

Such a great color. I used to have two 911 models in this color (one coupe and one cab) and have sworn to buy a real-life replica once I can afford a 993. Read more

Oh, my bad, I was thinking the E65 was labeled a 2003 when it came out, but you're right. Absolutely 2001. I actually prefer the pre-facelift E46, anyway. Read more

2002 M5, 2002 M3, 2002 7-series, 2002 Z3—they're all wonderful and they're all good looking. Even the 2002 X5, as SUVs go, is pretty good in my book. Read more

I was just talking about this today. I think the peak for BMW was 2002 (I'm talking about the year). Read more

And it's so popular right now. It's amazing how you can make almost any car look like a government issue Impala with a plain white paintjob like this. Read more

I love when people choose interesting colors for their cars, because a sea of white/black/grey/silver is very boring indeed. But everyone's got a color that they find repulsive, and for me it's this orange/copper concoction Volvo keeps trying to make happen. Read more

I don't believe the border patrol really allows this...do they? Read more

Aha, but you'd get vitesse on the trains, too! Train à Grand Vitesse and what not. There's just vitesse all over the place. Read more

Did you read the article in CAR where they took one of these on an African safari of sorts? Pretty interesting. Read more

It almost did, but we decided to adhere more strictly to the "upgrade" part Read more
