    Interesting video featuring some cars we love, including said Miata, came across my desk today…

      I really like it. Good acceleration, good braking, handling is great too. Try to get Harman Kardon cause HiFi is crap but decent now with BavSound subwoofers and speakers.

      It has a 4400lbs tow capacity but honestly I pulled a Uhaul car hauler with a stock E46 M3 on it so around 57-5800lbs and feels as good as my old 2007 E70 X5 4.8i Sport package, which was rated for 6000lbs…

        2005 X3 3.0i with 300k here. Nice color combo (Highland Green/Terracotta) and got it for cheap. Planning on selling it early next year to buy an E70 X5d.

          My wife and I bought an MG ZS EV at the beginning of the year to use as our main car. Brilliant car for a young family that does lots of within/across city kms. In terms of utility electric is the future. In terms of smiles I'll keep my M3 thanks 😉

            Do you have plans on installing aftermarket DP with a tune on the G01?

              No, only mod I might do is black kidney, bumper & side grills and comor match mirror caps. It’s fast enough for me right now, it’s an SUV!

                  Picked up a pretty clean 2004 E53 X5 3.0. 1-owner car, under 100k miles, black on black, xDrive, early facelift with non-pano sunroof. Engine bay and interior is cleaner than my M3 which is in pretty good condition itself! Looking forward to adventures in this thing.

                                Picked this up a few months back but was busy adding some goodies. Having a 4Runner as my commuter was rough.
