I wouldn't say that either are better than the Cadillac offerings if you consider all of the things and I only didn't include Cadillac because its GM and Sean drives one.

 

His can be the exception. 

 

: D

 

I don't make the rules my dude, I just present the facts.

No V8 or no Android Auto removes BMW, Audi, Volvo, Ford & Lexus from options for me.  Range Rover are mechanical shit shows

*I will not run a full size (ie Suburban no, Tahoe ok) which rules out the V8 Fords

Makes it bleak.  Think I spend a bit more money on my rig upgrading it.

Some exciting MLS on if anyone is prone.  US Cup final.  Was 2-0 at half, 65 seconds in it is 2-1.  MN is down but it's a game now.

[///M5 2,833]

Mid season tourney. Team is exciting.

[///M5 2,833]

How many tickets? Ever sell them?  Good seats?

 I don’t know how the fuck Toyota makes it on any list. Other than maybe engine longevity with proper maintenance. Which goes for most cars nowadays. The ‘19 forerunner rental I drove had hideous steering. Very vague and ridiculously large turning radius. Interior was laid out poorly as well. The Audi SUV I had before was way more fun to drive. Shit even enjoyed the last couple Nissan rogue’s I’ve had more.

 Not to mention over half the accessories don’t work in any I have ever gotten in that are 10 years old/150 thousand miles. Even my shitty Nissan tops that. 

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

 I guess I missed the beginning of the conversation. What is the reason you were looking to change things up Sean?

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

 Same goes for GM. After watching friends have to go through the lemon law just to get rid of a new car.

I am including cost of ownership and being glib about Toyota also being lexus.  I was in a really nice land cruiser too.  It was wonderful inside.

 

Audi does less for me every year.  They are like a gorgeous chick with no personality, sense of humor, or substance.  Just pretty and well engineered.

I think he has one or 2.  

 

He is pretty in love with our team so I don't think he misses a game.  He has had them since the old stadium, I I think they are pretty good.  Not sure at all.

Segue in life.  I've had it for a long time, I hate my wives car, and soon will have an extra garage spot.  As you all know I take FOREVER to make a decision so I am just tightening up my 3 year plan.  Need to know what I will drive daily, what I will drive in addition, and what my wife will.  Then need to know what we use as a family vehicle.

Decided to keep my truck, buy a C8 Corvette, and a newer rig for my wife.  Went into the Chevy dealership today to lock in a few things and check on a transmission for big ugly.  Supposedly warrantied even with the whipple

[///M5 2,833]

They didn't get back to me though which usually means no.

I don't understand Heath's last few starting line ups, but the team is exciting as shit to watch.  Killer at set plays and willing to attack.

Rock Auto/Power Stop for sure

https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/bmw,2011,550i,4.4l+v8+turbocharged,1446914,brake+&+wheel+hub,rotor+&+brake+pad+kit,13824

So.... whenever I have ordered these they have delivered as the wrong brakes.  When you click on info it doesn't fit the same for the X-drive.

 

I'm struggling to find any set for <$800. Crazy shit.

Zeckhausen racing is where I usually got mine for the Bm'ers.

Centric rotors are fine.  Used to use EBC pads from there, but now it seems he carries Hawk and Porterfield which I know nothing about.  Personally I would look for a lower dust option...

I'm very worried these might not fit either.  I might have to reach out to the people there.

I think the best I have found so far is an EBC set for $1200 with 20% off for the labor day sale.

 

Never fucking mind.... the EBC.

 

I'm gonna roll the dice on the Rock Auto even though it doesnt specifically show the KOE6026 evolution kit doesn't specifically list my xdrive.

 

Grrrrr

I think my best bet is o'Reilly's. 

 

My buddy might get a small discount there for working at a local shop and they seem to be the cheapest anyway. 

[dem beats 1,223]

Lol

 

O'Reilly had everything but rear pads.  Fml

 

Lmao

The turning radius does suck on the 5th gen. I tell people the 4runner is never the answer because they are lack luster, boring, and run forever.
