    Rolex is better now. There for a while Omega was eating their lunch on quality and design vs price. But Rolex adapted bringing in ceramics, better AR coatings, more textured dials and color options. I held a $300,000 rainbow Daytona the other day and couldn't put it down fast enough 😅

    Long term reliability of the 5BW LT4 unmodified

    I was going to say. I bet that requires a lot of highway miles.

    Long term reliability of the 5BW LT4 unmodified

    Given the direction automakers are going (though seemingly that direction has slowed), of going away from V8s, it seems like the current iteration of the 5BW isn't going to be in production too much longer. For those of us who want to hold onto these cars, but also drive them as dailies, I...

    Matte on blue BW?

    Is it weird that I love both of these equally? The first picture I was like "man this color, dont mess with it, it's gorgeous" Then I saw the matte and I love it. It's like two cars in one

    Best mode for moderate to heavy rain?

    As a new owner of a 5BW, I love this thread. I'm the engineering director for The 1916 Company (formerly WatchBox). If y'all could see our vault... It's truly insane

    Best mode for moderate to heavy rain?

    As I understand it, the wet PTM mode is for the track and actually might be bad fire heavy rain under normal conditions So what to do when it rains? Just a normal sport/tour?

    (Long) Cross shopped an RS7, M5, and CT5V Blackwing - I'm getting the Blackwing

    Audi sort of lost their way in terms of emotion and driving dynamics in favor of really modern interiors and somewhat clinical experience. I had a b8 s4 and it was a good car but already a far removal from the raw visceral car that was a b5 s4/rs4. The current gen rs6/7 even more so. They're...

    Patch this tire or replace?

    Not only did they do it for free this AM. They found one on another tire and did that one too. I gave the techs $40 for their trouble. Cannot believe that's free. I get why they do it. They know you'll eventually come in and buy tires from them if they do. But it's still refreshing to experience.

    Patch this tire or replace?

    Do tire shops still do plugs? I got the impression a lot of them only do patches

    Patch this tire or replace?

    Well gents, I’m in day two of ownership of my 5BW and caught a screw. Would you replace or repair? Tire shop may not give me a choice

    Upcoming 11 hr drive in 5BW through cold and some rain. Thoughts?

    Update I made it from Saukville Wisconsin to Birmingham AL without issue. Snow was plowed up everywhere in Wisconsin and it was 20 degrees when I picked it up but the roads were dry and clear. I just ate up miles trying to get south where it started warming up only stopping for gas. Made it...

    Upcoming 11 hr drive in 5BW through cold and some rain. Thoughts?

    This is what I run in the cold on my Alfa QV. And it's a great tire. I felt like I lost about 20% steering feel and connectedness, but worth it vs wrapping it around a tree

    (Long) Cross shopped an RS7, M5, and CT5V Blackwing - I'm getting the Blackwing

    It was pre-owned I wonder if the exhaust was aftermarket. It was also indoors in the showroom but so was the m5 I test drove right next to it and it was noticeably better than the m5

    Considering buying a buyback 5BW - blown motor issues resolved?

    They definitely fixed it because I had a before and after their final fix. But iirc mine was after the 6th different attempt from BMW to fix those HPFPs. Mine never failed after and really ran great. But every iteration in between was a cluster for BMW. I think the quickly went away from that...
