2mAns Daily Driver Thread - who knows what it is today...

Leaning more toward a Plugin hybrid as an Outback replacement in a year + from now. Something like a Volvo V60 Recharge?
Rebates here make up for the difference in cost over the gas only equivalent, so the extra ~150ftlb of torque and 60km electric range for the city is basically free.
With the ICE, it can still do the 600Km drive to the wife's parents' place in the boonies in one shot.
I've never had a "New" car payment, always just 10-15k shitboxes, so that's currently a hard stop until everything else is paid for.

I'm guessing they are expensive right now... because of Putin lol

[Northern]

Not going to lie, I searched up used i3s this past weekend after someone posted theirs in the Anti-BMW BMW Club Facebook group.
Probably going to just limp both of my shitboxes along for at least another year, but who knows.

[2mAn]

Yea who knew that matching the hood to the rest of the car was a 'mod' haha Once you see it, you will notice how bad every single other i3 out there looks lol

I wonder how much better a white one would look color matched. Which one of you is next to join my "i3's are the new E30s" nonsense

[Northern]

haha I had the same issue and failed this Where's Waldo.

I really didn't know what changed on your IG post so had to scroll for a comparison. I like it!

The hood does look better in body color, but the mirror caps aren't quite right and might look better in black.

[2mAn]

I had an idea when I first bought the car and after my “///M mirror covers” the excuse to move forward with the plan happened.

Without further adieu, a less-funky looking i3. Dare I say, a more aggressive looking i3? Lol

[2mAn]

Do not mess with my powers

2mAn is asleep, flooding time.

No but really I think we already have one of those threads, maybe in OT?

I totally ripped a turn harder the other day than I have ever done before.

its an ESSSS swaybar bruhhh ESSSS is for SPORT, its basically an ///M

It was probably that extra helping at dinner, more downforce.

[2mAn]

Based on the ARB, they'll be a 2% increase in whatever.

.. but supposedly the 'S' struts & shocks address that. I'd like to get them, but we'll see

The question though, does it ever feel tippy, like it's tipsy, or is gonna tip over with some harsh winds or quick corners?

Not tipsy, though the short wheelbase can feel a little pogo stick-ish over some bouncy stuff... but supposedly the 'S' struts & shocks address that. I'd like to get them, but we'll see

As far as tipsy in the corners, far from it. Cross winds can be felt due to the flat sides
