Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

So, alternator's given up on the Bimmer. I've spoken to the garage and they've told me I could replace it with either a Bosch, or a Delco Remy, difference in price is about £75, both come with a year warranty. What should I do?

you clearly have never heard my old E34?

ftfy

You're clearly out of touch wid yoot, my 19 y/o plays that (admittedly shite) stuff all day/night...

What bimmer you got? Are you in London?

Rotating machines on Bancroft road have helped me, and can give you details.

You keep saying that...

Did you take a pic of bonnet at least?

How much?

Le drive. Le like. Le cannot afford.

How much are they?

Fuck loads, but you get free electrical charging for the life of the vehicle.

Surely the cost is only of any relevance to the deposit you need to pay for the finance?

The batteries last 5 years. A replacement set is £17,000.

That is all.

£17k + a 5 year/100k mile service...

They're surprisingly common in Oslo, with winter tyres naturally.

I think there was some massive tax incentive.

Just been reading up on it, make sense;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_el­ectric_vehicles_in_Norway

Among the existing government incentives, all-electric cars are exempt in Norway from all non-recurring vehicle fees, including purchase taxes, which are extremely high for ordinary cars, and 25% VAT on purchase, together making electric car purchase price competitive with conventional cars.[

Blimey, the Tesla is the second highest selling electric cars in 2015 according to this;

Bonkers 991 Turbo S is bonkers.

Tesla, despite innovation remains butt ugly.

Go on Mungo.

Go Dax or go home.

SHIT, Fiat have made the MX5 look fucking awful.

Is ok I fixed this for you

Bro. Do u even Gardner Douglas? If you're going 427 and have the budget there is no other choice.

Have a look at the Hawk 289 tho. Prettier and less common than the 427 reps.

It's not that ugly, they've just avoided trying to make it look like a spaceship or supercar. It's nicer than the current 3-series.
