Beautiful pics! The sapphire is just too much money. I’ve read amazing things but don’t want to drop over 100k on a car. 100-120k would be my max cap.

Oh man. I would love that. No I’m in MA. I’ve thought about the taycan (would go used for sure). I’m worried about reliability though and costly repairs. Heard some horror stories.

Ex that’s a perfect garage. Never sell the 911 6 speed. I had one and cry to this day that I sold it. It was a 997 6 speed :(. I need to get that car back. May sell the m5 for it. Wouldn’t miss the m5 with that car back in possession.

It’s not century old tech. The new engines and transmissions (bmw and Porsche in particular) are fantastic. Drive an m340 and you will see it’s not old tech, it’s perfection in my opinion. You also get 25-27 mpg and once free charging is up, here in MA you pay $35 at home or $65 at a fast...

Yea, this is fair and well said. I am a huge car enthusiast and EVs are tough for my type of crowd. Honestly, on the test drive I was blown away. Why I bought it. You can’t take the car to 100 plus though. Around town it handles very well around corners etc. The pure rwd becomes a little...

All good comments. Yes it’s the pure rwd with the larger wheels not a GT. I can’t point to anything wrong with the car. Sure it may not handle like an M car at speeds but that’s a high bar to set. Again, I’m finding I like the car but don’t love it. It doesn’t evoke the driving pleasure I’ve...

Last thing I’ll mention, to the poster who said why am I comparing an air to an m5…like someone else said, the air was benchmarked after the beloved e39 m5. Something to keep in mind.

Yes, my car has the 21 in stealth wheels with summer p-zeros. Car felt a little frizzled on 2 occasions going fast and having to change lanes (yes I was driving like a monkey but not dangerous). The m5 never did this to me. I’m not doing speeds that high in the air again unless it’s wide open...

Yes! PDK is a great transmission. I’ve driven them but don’t own one. The fun factor is just worlds above an EV

Fair, and yes I’m comparing a manual ice with an EV. What better way to compare how cars are changing? In my mind for the worse (if driving experience and engagement is what you are after anyway). That being said, I also have an x5 4.0 and a 330 touring. The air is still going back and in...

Nope. I’m running summer tires with the stealth option. Not all seasons and the bigger tires. They don’t grip well going side to side at highway speeds (compared to the m5 anyway). The suspension on two occasions has become “lose” if that makes sense. Car felt like it would spin out and have me...

Manuals are absolutely a dying breed. They are holding value when paired with a proper engine much better than automatics these days. Yep, traffic sucks with a manual. But I mostly use the car on weekends. The air is the better commuter car, but for fun can’t beat a nice manual with a good engine.

I’ve had my lucid air now for 6.5 months. I’ve put over 7,000 miles on it already. At first I loved the car. Now I like it, but I don’t love it. Why? My other cars all bmws. I have an f10 m5 with manual transmission. After not driving that car for a while, I took it out again. What I realized...

In MA, the EA stations work pretty well. It’s just that there aren’t enough. Usually 3-4 chargers only. I have seen a broken one on occasion but it’s usually fixed the next day.

Also just to be clarify, this did not happen previously. I have gone past 95 in sprint previously. Now it seems to be restricting speed for some reason.
