My brother just got one of those Beemers. Super cheap too. Just needed some TLC and some ingnitors or something like that.
Nice E90. My '11 E90 M3 "Stripper" in Le Mans Blue over Speed Cloth. There's just something about a V8 that revs to 8,400 with three pedals...2011 M3 (Comp Package). I have owned this for over six years.
This gets driven only in fair weather/summer time and hibernates. I have not driven it since like October since we are in an eternal winter in Utah.
Recently imported and sold a Diesel Surf and a Prado.
2017 BMW X5 35i Xdrive ~110k miles. Pretty much the best I car I have ever owned. Roomy inside, 320hp/320 lb-ft, fits 5 comfortably and can smoke most others cars on the road when needed. Thankfully it has been incredibly reliable too.
Seats are surprisingly comfortable for long drives, despite being pretty firm, 4 zone climate control and front and rear heated seats are hard to beat and it has a proper tailgate too!

That looks great. I have a 2000 TLC and looking the do the same think with new leather and drivers eat bottom. How much did the whole thing cost you. Thanks. I can dig up actual prices but I think the front row skins were about $600 and the pad was almost $160.

If you ever decide to let this one go please reach out. This is THE spec for me.
This was a tough one to find - took about a decade or so to locate. I had a Jet Black one with zero options that was also a 2011, but it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for (and some distracted teen totaled it out any way).
Only 185 Le Mans Blue E90 M3s were made through the E90 lifecycle if you disregard options. Most people went for Interlagos Blue (more of a purple undertone), but I wanted LMB. This is a true one of one with its spec. No navigation (single hump), no sunroof (slick top), manual, Speed Cloth interior, and Le Mans Blue. I believe the only “options” are rear back up sensors, folding rear seat, and the wood grain interior. Just got her ceramic coated
No nav is the single most important item after it being a manual, compromises can be made on the other items but those two are mandatory.

dreamy... single hump Slicktop in LMB with cloth interior is a hell of a spec
Volvo V90 Cross Country. T6 Polestar tuned. For a big estate, it moves. We love it.
‘23 Tundra TRD Pro
Beautiful. Ive got a V60CC T5 and it's now 3 years old and about 38k miles. its been a phenomenal car for us. In fact, in Colorado, it's better in the snow (<6" or so) than the cruiser. We love ours as well. Its my 3rd Volvo wagon.
I've posted twice before in this thread, once with an Audi Q5 PHEV and once with a Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV. Both turned out to be electrically unreliable, something you really don't want in an electrified vehicle. I wanted to stay with something I could run all electric on local trips and use without drama for longer trips. Here in Michigan the EV charging infrastructure is dismal, to put it generously. The RAV4 Prime was perfect for our use case, so my wife used her considerable search and buy skills and found this one. My best guess is that it will be a very long term keeper for us.
My brother looooves his rav4 prime. The thing scoots!
New addition. Sold the Tesla Model S P85D to a friend (he was happy it kept the unlimited lifetime free supercharging). 2022 F150 Lightning Lariat Standard Range. Mostly for in town and back and forth to the airport. Keeps miles and cycles off the Land Cruiser.

Love to see this. Have read LOTS of good things about X5s. Taking a gamble on one this week.
Get ISTA+ setup on a laptop and get the right OBD2 cable (they are cheap) and you can check all the computers and have the workshop manual as part of the tool as well.
I have:

- LC100 4.2 TD
- BMW 120i
- Mercedes G-class with OM606 engine
