Indeed - wow! The internal screen layout seems to strongly imitate the Taycan! Not a lot of original design thoughts here other than an extra dose of ugly :)
Skydiver - member of a 4-way team competed at State and National levels but recently had to give up (which was near impossible to do!) - played in 1st and 2nd div. soccer leagues for years, love mountain biking and road riding but do far less of the latter now. Most of our vacations involve...
Man, the hot air in this thread might be enough to tip the balance for climate change :)!
The oceans are carbon sinks - yes indeed the oceans, their cirulation patterns and temperature profiles, and as you mention, their interface with the atmosphere, are critical components and by far arguably...
These 2 Rivian's first models are really on point if design wise perhaps a personal taste - but I kind of like them. The biggest issue might be no local support (if for example bought in Texas etc.) - relying entirely on OTA access or what? Would be curious to know how they will handle...
EQS/EQE extremely boring exteriors to my eye and indeed akin to something Toyota would produce if that's your thing - that new Maybach SUV looks more like a Buick :) Sometimes trying too hard to be E distinctive from prior ICE designs is not always a good thing imo! Porsche seem to be keeping...
Zero in 7 years in extremely humid Houston :) - you’d have to have some quite an unusual setup to worry about this I.e. standing water / bad drainage, bad airflow, etc etc
Super easy - simply use a portable garden leaf blower - you can easily separate and pull up any size section too which I do occasionally and fully clear out dust/dirt if there - makes the process easy to manage with minimal sweat. I only have to do this maybe once or twice a year but of course...
Agree - had an E46 (M3 and manual sport wagon), an E91 etc. My 2015 M4 seems to represent one of the last designs themes I'd still personally favor, hence again why moving on.
Man, you are just validating my leaving BMW after 20 years :) BMW's exterior design has driven off a cliff imo and that incredibly and perhaps overly discussed grill was a major factor for me - I simply could not for one minute see myself driving a car with such an ugly face. My 2015 M4 Vert...
