Show Us Your Motors!

You seemed a Primera candiate.

Ha.

And I think I am going to get rid of this now and get a Tesla Model 3........ Second hand values are strong at the moment!

Bye bye nice car, hello creaky iPhone on wheels.

Why the hell would you do that.

awful choice

Never expected so much love for a 520i

At least one is built properly and has a nice interior.

 

[dlockers]

Ah I see it is a gimmick, gotcha. Another forum I go on moans at folk swapping their horses for cars so I get it.

I share the scepticism for Tesla build quality, but to be fair it doesn't use any fuel, is much faster, and generally makes the 520i look like an old steam ship with how much more advanced it is?

Well that point will destroy any constructive rebuttal as folk froth over where the electricity/rare Earth metals come from

Haha, going into the frothy argument over any real eco credentials isn't worth the time is it

Nobody can argue that really cheap "fuel" attracting only 5% VAT isn't a rather large draw though!

the 5 is just a bit….. I dunno, boring? I love the tech in the Tesla, and as it’s not going to cost me anything to change, seems a good idea.

 

[Akagi]

Doesn't get much more boring than a tesla. It makes no noise and drives itself. Get some ear defenders and a season ticket on the bus.

I mean.. a 520i is a tool. A nice tool but it's there to do the job. If you wanted something more involving then that was not the car. Model 3 is a dishwasher too lol.

Yeh because driving a 400 year old BMW with endless issues is the dream

Rumour is there's one with a keyboard that allows you to make posts on OCUK without editing them after

You ordered a 520i estate with massive wheels and no spec. What did you expect?

You can buy a 5 Series with autonomous features, you just chose not to...

Someone once said to me ideally you’d want a car and a Tesla.

Makes sense to me, an EV to do short trips and an ICE car for fun or longer trips.

Makes sense to me too. I think our first EV will be for most of our driving - ie local - with ICE for distance. All the benefits of zero emissions urban driving without any range issues.
