My son's 328i at 108k miles. The minimum OCI was 15k, using BMW TPT 5W-30.

1. Pays cash for used econobox. 2. Drives it for 450,000

My Mazdaspeed had over 200 miles on it when I bought it. It never worried me. I kept it for almost 9 years and 158k miles.

The new BMW M cars don't interest me one bit; I'd take an F87 M2 CS, but that's about it. Anyway, I owned an E24 M6 for several years- back when M stood for Motorsport and not Marketing.

That’s inexcusable. When I worked at BMW I would have been beyond humiliated if a customer knew more about the car I was selling than I did.

I like the Supersport display on the C43 (there are two other available displays- Classic and Sport). There are several display options for either side of the central tachometer. Contrast that with BMWs configuration options- there really aren’t any.

You would probably be okay changing the oil at 10k miles or 1 year. But it’s your car and your comfort level.

I had to get 19" wheels on the C43 to get the top speed delimited from 131 mph to 155 mph.

I used to put that tire size on my Club Sport when it was my HPDE instructor car; Kumho Ecstas always worked well, at around $124 each.

As I've mentioned before, I've had at least one BMW in my garage since 1983. I'm now down to just one again (a one owner 1995 318ti Club Sport) because I traded my 2014 M235i for a CPO 2020 Mercedes-AMG C43. I've owned it now for going on three years and I absolutely love it (as does my lovely...

Would you buy a new Mitsubishi? If Mitsubishi still made an Evolution, probably.

Today's fill up of the C43: 24.8 mpg on Shell 93 (V-Power NITRO+)

Today's fill up of the Sahara 4xe: 47.5 mpg on Sunoco 93 Ultra

And the first BITOG Certified Marque Expert weighs in....

Pay particular attention to the comments from people who have never owned, driven or sat in a Jaguar; they are the true marque experts.

I roll my eyes when people say, "I could buy any car I want, but I don't need to let people know how wealthy I am." Um, you just did, you pretentious wingnut...

In my experience with ABS on my BMWs as well as the C43 I've almost never activated ABS on dry pavement. Ditto when driving on the track.

My usual approach is to buy a one to two year old car (preferably a CPO), pay it off in 1-2 years and keep it for 6-8 years. Depreciation is my friend and it allows me to own cars that I truly enjoy driving. I have only bought new when I wanted a car that was relatively rare and/or was not...
