The issue is the reverse lights. Never a problem in the F22 though the camera had lower resolution. At night the reverse camera is indeed useless. Luckily, I remember the days without camera or...

The oil change plan is a good deal once out of warranty and when doing a lot of miles. I had it on my M235 and got 5 oil changes out of it in 3 years due to mileage. Considering the plan was at the...

Looking for folks who have driven both… getting a new DD (replacing my M240). Looking at the 2025 M340/440 xDrive (I prefer the design of the Coupe) vs a Macan GTS. Price difference is not relevant...

True, but typically you don’t get coverage post 10y/100k, ie if you wait till year 4 you may only get coverage for additional 6y/60k miles and at a higher cost. So in the end you pay more for the...

I bought the fidelity for my 992 when it had less than 10k on it. I view this as an insurance policy for high end repairs (eg PDK). No different than any other liability policy. For those additional...

The 8-Series is actually a pretty and competent car - and I did look at it. But as mentioned by others the price point is just beyond reasonable. I presume you get a good value when buying used after...

It’s a max cap $ amount. I pick the type of car I want as long as it does not exceed the $ cap. The cap is generous enough to get a well optioned M4 or Macan GTS. I’m not complaining.

I can avoid really bad weather. Agree on the comfort of the 440 and the 2025 LCI is also decent looking, just the interior choices are quite poor compared to M4 or even more Porsche. I have not found...

I would not voluntarily got through a snowstorm with either, but I agree the Macan will be more comfortable on long trips and much more convenient.

5k miles in I have not heard this “thumping noise” yet (Aug 2023 build). Granted I have not looked for it and listen to music most of the time. Trying not to listen for it now.
