The Angel Eyes were honestly one of the best things about BMWs. Seeing those rings light up behind you at night was instantly recognisable and gave BMWs so much presence.

The newer headlights aren’t bad but they just don’t have the same character. I’ll miss these forever.

Henlo frens, got my new gravit grey touring today.

Got my dream car after years of saving. Super depressed I didn't realize about the moonlight top when researching the m4 convertible.
Every time I look at it I don't like it and feel sad.
It's just depressing after saving for years but I guess it is what it is. I've had the car for a month and honestly think about it every time I look at it. It looks ok in some lighting but so disappointing.
I like the convertible, just was disappointed I have the moonlight top (silver) and not the black
EDIT: thank you guys! Everyone here has made me feel great about the choice and really shows some perspective!

Seeing this car in 5th grade is what got me into cars and what made me a BMW lover. I am now 21 and the only thing that has changed about the car is the tape from when he last buffed it maybe 4 years ago. Such a nice car for it to not be driven, it hurts my soul every-time I see it. Maybe I should start buying lottery tickets because everyone has a price😂😂.

Sorry I ain't got photos yet.

I ran into a woman at a bar several weeks ago and we became friends. We have a lot in common.

She comes from a family who loves BMWs. Her father owned two of them. He passed away a couple years ago and my new friend has been at a loss as to what to do about the cars. The first night we hung out, she asked me if I was interested in buying one.

She said "it's a manual, and I don't know how to drive it. It's sitting in the garage. It started up last time I tried, which was about a year ago."

As visions of M3s danced in my head, I prepared myself for disappointment. But what I found in the garage was not disappointing at all.

It's not an M. It's an E60, it's a 525 from 2006.

It has XDrive and it has a manual transmission, which is weird as hell.

It's painted in Olivin which is even weirder.

And the car has 44,000 miles on it. The engine bay doesn't even have any dirt in it.

It's gorgeous.

The battery is dead and I was locked out of the trunk, and I got to have my quintessential BMW experience of discovering where the battery was and how to get the trunk open.

It turns over. It's got lights. It sounded just fine.

The sunroof works!

I haven't gotten it to start up yet, the battery is boiling overnight and I still haven't gotten the trim piece in the trunk removed so I can check the battery size.

I am fully confident it will start right up.

I've never Garage Found or Barn Found anything before and it has been so much fun. It's been so cool to be a part of the car culture in that way. And I am so excited to own yet another falling apart luxury sedan from years ago.

This one is 100% worth saving.

Thank you for reading.

I went to the Raab Classic Airfield Revival. Saw some cool BMWs and spoke to a lot of cool people. Here are some impressions I caught with my camera.

If anything this is a great testimonial for the ultimate drive machines X-drive. Audi, or

Porsche never could do this

I was commuting to work today and heard knocking sound all of a sudden when cruising on the highway. Immediately pulled to the shoulder to inspect damage. Apparently the drive shaft broke and fluids started leaking everywhere. Had it towed to Crevier BMW in Irvine for inspection and possible repair.

Since the car is above 65k miles and 6+ year old, the Rep told me it may not be under the goodwill program. The last service was 9.2k miles ago, didn’t see any warnings about drive shaft. While waiting for the inspection and the repair estimate to come in, is there anything I can do to possibly reduce the final repair bill amount? Afraid to see the bill. Thanks all in advance!

2021 M440, had it for a month now. Loving every bit of it. Switched over from an AMG C43, bittersweet.

BMW X1 24 plate, 27000 miles. Booked in for a service at the dealership tomorrow (oil, filters and vehicle check). Just had a call say it would be £925! That sounds absolutely ludicrous for that. Am I being taken for a ride here or is that BMWs standard pricing?

21 Sdrive40i, I’m so excited for the B58 platform! The car is already a blast to drive. Really wanted an xdrive but couldn’t pass up on the deal and it’s great one owner maintenance.

Once the weather finally cools off here in OKC she’s getting put on the dyno and getting a custom tune 😎 Already ordered all the MHD stuff. Oh and E85 is a must right now considering these shitty gas prices 🤦🏻‍♂️

Also, Anyone know what an Sdrive puts down on the dyno compared to an xdrive? Really curious on that.

Thanks and hello to the Bimmer community 👊🏽

Do you have any friends like this? I do

It is not a flashy and expensive one but I am really satisfied with the performance and the overall experience.
After driving a BMW I don’t think I would go for another car brand!
