For the BMWs, I just not a fan. I liked the interior a touch more but I just couldn get into the car and really enjoy it, something about it was just lackluster in the driving department and I really disliked the exterior of the car. I didn feel connected to the car like I did in the ATS and that really cheapened the experience, I also not a fan of what it costs to maintain and own one.

By now, though, those who are unfamiliar with Alpina might be pondering the difference between itsspecially tuned products and those of BMW’s in house, high performance M division, which also builds go faster versions of the marque’s cars. Well, thedifference is akin to chalk and cheese not least because an Alpina isn’t simply about going fast, but about an entire package of enhancements that takes thebest features of a standard BMW and makes themwork in perfect harmony.

I would test the car seats out in the BMW before buying. Install the forward facing radian in the third row and see how it fits. Also climb back there yourself and your husband and see if you fit and would want to sit back there, or if it will be a useful third row for anyone.

My 3.5 year old is in a Roundabout, just about to outgrow it (he is just under 40 pounds and 40 inches, 15 inch torso). 18 month old is in a Comfortsport RF (rear facing) with about 3 inches(approx) left of shell above his head (24 pounds, 34 inches, 12.5 inch torso). The infant seat I have is a Peg Perego sip 22 pound limit. We just sold my Miitsubishi Endeavor today, and my husbands current car is a Ford Excursion so room is not a problem. I will most likely start driving the Excursion town with the kids he will get a smaller car (possibly a BMW or similar size) to commute to work. However we would still like the option of drviing in the car with the 3 kids if possible. Plan on having to buy a few new carseats either way. I was looking at a Frontier for my older child for the Excursion, and was going to buy him a Radian for my Endeavor but now we sold that car.

In regards to REx, everything will effect range: temperature, speed, number of passengers, interior cabin heat/cool, wind direction, most recent driving efficiency. in my early i3, I can depart for university (55 miles one way) with a full battery charge showing 95 miles (and the REx usually slightly under this for another 85 miles) and arrive at the destination with battery at 10 miles at >56 mph) when it starts at 6% charge. To solve for this, you have to slow down. On most interstates with posted 70 mph, its not safe to be driving 55. My approach has become to assume that the estimated battery mileage will drop considerably over the trip, by 50%, and so the best plan is to finder a public charger at the turn around point. You can run the REx through its 2 gals, refuel and get another 30 miles, but again this needs to be at much less than 70 mph. When you get home, the REx will be screaming at you, hot, fans blowing.

What was the idea of this special regulation? Safety (it doesn matter if you think system xy is save or not). Background: if you want to change the lane, you must be sure to see far enough behind you. Talking about the german Autobahn delta speeds of 100 kph (27 m/s) are possible. To make a save lane change you need about 3 4 seconds. So it nice if a camera can, under ideal condition, see 100m. Under many other conditions it would just not be save to start a lane change. Etc etc. I think you can see where this is going. Same applies for hands off, fail safe, steering availability,.

I have navigation info projected on the windshield when using the default Gps but not when using CarPlay.You must also understand that from the main os’s POV CarPlay is just a single other screen.Siri integration is okay for basic commands. Maps is okay with updated traffic information.Problem is you can’t use Siri in multiple languages which limit some more advanced features like dictating text in your native language if you want siri in English.

The dash browsing for phone operations is inactive whenever the vehicle is in motion. This is a safety feature. To make a phone call when the vehicle is in motion, press the “voice” button located on the steering wheel. The computer will say the current Sync setting along with “please say a command”. In my case, the computer always says, “USB, please say a command.” because I always have my iPod connected through the vehicle’s USB port. After the computer asks for a command, you will say “phone”. Speak loudly and clearly enough for the computer to understand you. The computer will then say, “phone. please say a command”. You will then say, “call so and so”. Sammy,, Amy), the computer will give you a list of your phone book entries and ask to to select one using a number. “Say one for Sammy, two for, etc.” Once you tell the computer which phone number to dial, it will dial the number. You can also dial numbers not in your phone book by saying “dial” and the phone number you wish to dial.

This is my personal favorite vintage motorcycle. It may not be a speed demon, but it is a reliable workhorse. These bikes were made from 1960 1969. BMWs of this era were probably the best touring bikes available at the time. Many accessories were available including fairings, oversized fuel tanks, and luggage. Countless miles have been put on R60/2s, and they just keep going. The shaft final drive was quite unusual for its day, though not uncommon today. Parts availability for BMW motorcycles is generally good compared to more rare machines. These bikes are not too difficult to find today. I hope to own one myself someday.

For instance when I am in maps through a hot click from a notification in the music app, from the app POV I am still on the music screen which messes up the one click navigation from the buttons next to the controller. Hope that makes sense.Also the HUD display and controls don’t work with CarPlay.

Assembly Chinese cabinets are manufactured with absolute ease of assembly in mind. Therefore, most of them use a cam lock mechanism where the cabinet face frame and cabinet sides/top/bottom are held together with a hook type fastener that engages the opposing piece when a screw is turned. A common application of this that we all grew up with can be found in Sauder or Ikea furniture. There are usually some plastic blocks to assist in keeping things square as well. Some manufacturers suggest the use of glue and advise that the client not depend solely on the cam locks.

I made the point that BMW cars are by and large not cheap therefore they can make EVs today since they don play in the same price points like Dacia for example which has a legitimate reason why they can mass produce compelling EVs in 2019 due to the price of batteries and other components. Sure they could make some shitty 20 kWh, takes 2 days to charge, can go over 80 kph golf carts but nobody wants those shitty things on the market since they are not mainstream machines. A well engineered electric BMW today can be mainstream and the costs to make it happen are already cheap enough. It not cheap enough to enable 70 kWh, >100 kW charging, 3s from 0 to 100 kph Dacia Sandero EV, but cheap enough for a $60000 BMW with those exact specifications.

Sync ServicesYou can access the Sync services by pressing the “voice” button and saying “services”. The computer will ask you which service you want after it dials the Sync service number. If the computer doesn’t understand what you want, it will ask you to say “tell me my choices”. The computer will then go through its list of commands it recognizes. When the computer gets to the command you want, you can stop the list playback by pressing the “voice” button and giving it your command. Your Sync service is then refined down to specifics such as team name if you’ve chosen sports. In my video demonstration, I’ve selected “favorites” for time sake.

These things can be expected in an older vehicle. But come on, this car is barely five years old! And only three years old when I got it! And it’s German!! I now have new appreciation for every Ford product I ever owned or leased. I miss you Escort, Probe, Mercury Cougar, Mountaineer and yes, I even miss you, Taurus.

I not found the magic consolidated app or map. In the midwest we have Greenlots showing up at BP stations, EV Connect in some Public Garages, and other locally based rideshare systems like BlueIndy which also allow for charger accounts (you can park and charge in open spaces). You might also look to see where your local government fleets are parking often, these vehicles have chargers in garages that are also accessible to the public.

I hope a semi driver finds that fucker. Not only is he breaking the law, he is putting other peoples lives in danger doing it. and troubling with devastating implications. Here in St. Louis, two young sisters were killed by a head on with a policeman speeding at over 100 mph while talking on his cellphone. He got off with probation. The police are notoriously underpaid and unhappy about it, the state offices are all struggling with a huge deficit. Now, cops are pulling “speeders” going 1 mph over the limit. I read a news article that warned drivers about this very real possibility. Personally, my daughter was taken to jail on non moving violations after a cop stopped her for illegal plates and a false accusation of not having insurance, even after producing her insurance card. It took my contacting our state rep in Jeff City, who not only was able to have the $900 bail returned to me, but I got a written apology from the police department. The devastation produced by these rogue police, who chose their profession, to protect and serve, is a national disgrace.

It is in the BMW DNA always to balance emotion and aesthetics in an affecting expression of surfaces and lines. This isimmediately apparent, but inside there are satisfactions only owners will discover: BMW connectivity is a given, and the BMW Concept 8 Series showcases a new concept for entertainment systems and user interface. All interior functions are in distinct, highly readable control clusters. The effect is of being in the world’s most luxurious racing car. Such ideas can have genesis in a sculpture, a painting in a gallery, a laboratory, the forms of the natural world. A myriad of inspirations, distilled, are in this new machine. It redefines the automotive zeitgeist.

Makes sense, I never thought about that. What would you recommend between the Merc and the Audi?So in your option I should do a season in the GT3 cars, and then move up to GTE after that?Yep. The experience you gain will be invaluable. You may even get up to Class B in that time and be able to race in VRS Sprint/Endurance, which 바카라사이트 is a GT3 only series, and intensely, intensely competitive.

I searched old posts and came across a bunch with the BMW X3 and Diono seats in 3 across, but I need RF (rear facing) seat outboard for YDS. DH (dear husband) is looking at the X3 for his next vehicle, and I’m fairly certain there is nothing I can do to dissuade him. He needs to get a new car within the next month, realistically.

Questionable driving, to say the least. That not to say that there aren LMP drivers who don know what they doing many don but my own perspective of being someone who loves racing both GT cars and prototypes has seen a lot more issues with the GT traffic being completely unaware of oncoming cars or outright blocking them in dangerous fashion than some of the questionable overtakes I see from prototype drivers.Without turning this post into a bit of a rant, getting proper multiclass experience is vital if you plan on racing GTE cars, moreso if you want to race them in more than just IMSA.

I paid off my student loan earlier this year so i have zero debt. My housing and other monthly costs are low. I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe that is paid off with 106k miles. Its worth about 10 12k. I want to trade my truck in and finance the difference, which means i will ideally finance 10k.

Bovensiepen junior says the typical Alpina buyer is a highly successful entrepreneur who often covers a high annual mileage (30,000 or more per year is usual) anddemands a level of exclusivity beyond the personalisation offered by top luxury marques. “If youlook back 20 years, we sold fewer than half as manycars as we do today,” he explains. “Production hasgradually increased because our portfolio of models is much wider than it used to be in the past, for example, we didn’t offer an SUV or any diesel engines but it’s also because more people are looking for something special. That said, we still make fewer thanhalf the number of cars that Rolls Royce does. Wehavea verypersonal connection with all our customers andwe want to maintain that.

It probably will. The base is there for your convenience. If you use a seatbelt, you’ll just have to fasten/unfasten everytime you take baby out. You might decide that’s not a deal breaker. The carseat that wouldn’t fit in our car just couldn’t be made tight enough and couldn’t sit upright. If you made a sudden stop, the carseat would easily tilt backwards and baby would faceplant into the back of the seat. We tried everything, and I mean everything towels, pool noodles, etc. Everyone was sure I was installing it wrong, but sure enough, not even the experts could do it. Now it works great as a forward facing seat in my mom’s car.

We were looking at them because we wanted something roomy and comfy on the road that had memory seats, heated seats and wheel, and a big moonroof and I still like a big V6 over a turbo 4 the LaCrosse was one of the cars that ticked the boxes. Cooled seats, seat massagers and a HUD were options that came with the Premium trim and I glad we got them I turn the massagers on every time I get in (and I been trying to figure out how to retrofit some into my old Mustang).

Going beyond that, the local professional soccer team, Greenvile Triumph, have a pretty big supporters group that I part of and help run, the Reedy River Riot. We tailgate every home game and drink beer before marching over to the game. I don have enough fingers to count how many people have come to our events not knowing anyone and now have a ton of friends because they are part of the group!

The composer Sir Thomas Beecham famously said: “In this life, try everything once, except for incest and folk dancing” to which I have always mentally appended “and free fall parachuting, and driving at the ‘ring’.” Yet taking up the Nrburgring gauntlet has become almost a rite of passage for any self respecting fan of high speed driving, and not doing so is akin to an opera lover ignoring Glyndebourne or an oenophile avoiding Chteau Ptrus.

I really like the exterior of the 2010 Camaro and the LS3 is an incredible engine, but seeing a plastic engine cover in a crammed engine bay is so. disappointing.saltposted 9 years agosomeone recently kept saying to me i cant understand it, for a girl, you really like cars.
