    The Tesla effect - Price Drop

    Yes totally agree. 4wd is handy where I live though and more importantly I have a 55k limit and the i4 with M Pro Pack and Tech pack is almost impossible to find for that... No doubt BMW will lower their prices now based on the Tesla drops!!!

    The Tesla effect - Price Drop

    Makes all EVs in that price bracket look expensive now. Especially BMW i4 I'm still going to get my Polestar 2 though. Just not a Tesla lover, car equivalent of Apple to me. And I'm all about the Android I was also suprised how cheap 2nd hand Teslas are now. And sure there will be further...

    All downhill lol You know what I mean 😂 A fast car when I was growing up was an F40, how many of those did you see 😍😁 Now fast cars are everywhere and your every day EV or Hot hatch is faster on 99% of roads lol

    This 100% I dont even really get excited too much by cars now. Just a tool for me. Which is sad. Not like the old days when you saw something truly special and it was mind blowing how different it was to everything else on the road. So to spend the best part of 80k on a sports car it has to...

    Not the compliance just the overall feel and theatre. (Both cars I drove were sports chassis also) Bar the incredible steering everything else felt very steady to me and more GT than Sports car. There is a fine performance line between the two nowadays. So have no doubt that what isn't sporty...

    Didn't expect to ever see that video 😵 Thanks for sharing. Such a shame the cup holders in the Emira aren't up to scratch either 😉😂 Why the heck do brands put cup holders on front of an armrest and behind a manual gear shift!!! And Porsche shame on you for getting rid of the best cup holders...

    I'm suprised, I felt it was more GT than Sports hence why I was out. Just missing the auto box

    Future value estimate (UK)

    They have already dropped a good 10%. With these Sports models being close out ICE before EV replacements I'm not sure the drop will be much more. Not in comparison to some more mainstream models anyway.

    PS is higher than bhp. But at 411ps still looking around 405bhp which is what 10 higher than quoted?

    Future value estimate (UK)

    As a rough guide a 2020 718 GTS are 64-68k at a dealer. So say 62-64k private sale and 60k trade in. Is the Emira going to have stronger residuals than the Cayman? 🤷 I'd say possibly not quite. But it's a newer model so maybe on par. So above is looking at 2 years ish. I imagine both cars...

    The watches thread

    Nice like those a lot, lot to be said for a travel companion and a watch for best only. I got the Explorer for travel, really wanted to get some proper use from it, but even though its an entry level Rolex I must admit it still feels a bit bling to be wearing everywhere....

    Supporting local business... that's what I tell myself as well 😂 Lovely model though and look great on many straps and that's a lot of cheap fun in itself! 😁 Not a Zelos but will take a look 🤦🤑😅 thank you... 😛 Seems like I'm supporting start ups in Japan as well lol...

    Yes!!! That is lovely 😍 Good strap option as well. New or second hand? I think I need another Sinn. Going to start looking now... 😅 So many nice pieces out there for not a lot of money! In fact I've just remembered a Japanese start up owes me this. A little different I know, but thought be a...

    what engine upgrade would make the emira quick?

    Nice very nice. Fair play to anyone willing to spend 15k+ on engine mods. I would love to see it! (and hear it) But bit out of my price range 🤑 I'm sure a 5k upgrade to get 430bhp will be more than enough for most mind

    Emira alternatives

    Just a dream, but I wonder if they would save yet more weight dropping the 3 pot out of the Yaris into the Alpine 🤔 All these blooming sports cars are slightly compromised in some way. More I think about it the more an Exige is calling to me (until I decide its too raw 😅)

    Emira alternatives

    Yes I know, it would be better at 80k! 😂 I REALLY liked my Alpine A110 test drive. Just not quite ready for an auto yet, otherwise there would be one on my drive now! You can get a lovely one new for 55k so plus 40k for the R seems a stretch..... as nice as it is 😍 (probably be a future...

    Emira alternatives

    Great for 80k or less but a bit like the Emira the engine is the limitation that detracts from the price tag (even at 80k)
