Destination Toyota is the only dealer to have ever have given me more than fair trade value. It was s 2014 Tacoma, then they also gave me a discount on a new 2020 Tacoma.

Upgraded to a X5 from a X1, main reason was our 1.5 year old dog is almost 110lbs! Second picture is my car parked beside my wife's car in our parkade.

It's to show it's laser headlights. Kind of like how hybrids use blue in badges. Means nothing otherwise.

It's kinda dumb how here in NA we can't take full advantage of those lights.

I did too! After the windstorm last night and living next to 60 - 80ft pines and cedars...they dropped a lot of crap all over. LOL

After a bit of coding you can make the headlights do anything the Euro's get to enjoy.

My dad's '14 535d has adaptive variable LEDs which all move independently of each other as well as a shutter for more extreme light control that moves as the camera tracks cars taillights or headlights in front. You can see in the fog, it was very easy to see the high beams stay on around the car in front without shining any excess light into their face. It also moves the high beam for oncoming and continues to track them too. Such an advanced system that is such a joy to use as it reacts faster than I can easily, since the camera system is higher than my eye level.

One drawback is in the rain which you should not use this function as high light will glare against the wet pavement and/or wet side concrete medians which is dangerous for those ahead. It's simple to defeat this system and revert to normal auto-high beams by turning on the fogs or manually hitting the "all-the-time high beams" switch to off. That's probably one thing most NA drivers are not fast enough to think about until it's too late which is why it's probably not turned on for cars on this continent. Seeing when I drive at night I often see cars with just their DRLs on and not headlights, thus no taillights because their speedo is always lit up.

pretty sweet you can code it to a 7 year old car

12 years before the CLS, there was this. Less interior room than a same year Sentra

PS: I really like my license plate

[TopsyCrett]

^ Nice! Did you end up sorting out all the quirks?

I did back in August. Turned out it needed two sensors (CPS & ECT). Then shortly after it needed an 02 sensor, two fuses and one relay.

All good now. Nothing serious though a good reminder that low km / barely driven old cars can summon gremlins.

I really could be driving it with the mild conditions these days..

Always liked these, 4 door NA 300ZX is pretty cool in my books.

Filling up with the big boys now....upgrading from the smaller Coal Roller Pick-ups.



Also went to the local tuning shop to put the car into a low 12 second grocery getter status...if Safeway was exactly 1/4 mile from me. LOL



Driving this thing is more nuttier than ever while keeping it sleeper status!

not CL good buys thread but there's an m sport in squamish, and I want it bad. I wouldn't even take delivery of it - just send it straight to malone

I waited just over 2 months to learn what BMW engineers intended this vehicle to be for the general public. It's an amazing package for the price and the long-term data has shown how reliable it is with some simple to moderate DIYs as it needs to be tank-built to handle 40+ psi of boost when modded hard.

Malone has transformed the car into a wolf in sheep's clothing. When you look at the price they charge, it's not like you could pay that amount for most engine mods and get such a high return on reliable/quality power.

Not yet. That’s next. Since the tranny got a fresh flush and new filter.
