Looks expensive and I bet that talking hood ornament really adds to the price.  |

I’m betting they didn’t want to give any free advertising to a carmaker so the images were altered to not allow more than a profile to identify. Or could the whole vehicle be CGI?

Get her one of these. I don't know what it is, but I'm pretty sure it's not a Ford.   Here's the one I want.  But I'll probably have to settle for this one.  |

 They really edited the heck out of it, and took off any badges that would identify the car. Its not a real car meaning the one in the commercial its all CG but the car that Jess likes is a real car and sold awhile back. FYI do not buy any BMW newer than 16 or 17 since the problems they are having with the engines and research them carefully. Jess the car in the pic at the top Captain Nemo's car sold in about 16 https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a20125/league-of-extraordinary-gentlemen-car-ebay/So what's it gonna take to get Nemo and its custom trailer aboard your personal submarine? Well, reserve is met, and the reserve is $165,000. As I told Freeman the day I drove it, wealthy people covet an object that nobody else can have, and there's only one of these. It's a beautifully executed car, but it took him 6,500 hours. He's not building another one.

Other sources agree with your source Serk. Thanks FYI do not buy any BMW newer than 16 or 17 since the problems they are having with the engines and research them carefully.
Robert, Would you mind enlightening me on these issues? One may be in our future and I don't need any other problem vehicles. Won't go into all the details but, the wife really likes those two seater (hard top) convertibles. Rams |

They are still experiencing problems. I do like BMW but if I wanted a convertible European car it would be a Mercedes they seem to have less issues. Not an Audi, Jag or a BMW z4 or something along the lines with anything that has the older engines in them. You can do your own research and see. Used car prices are a good gauge, if the price is high more than likely it will be a good reliable car but if the value is low or drops fast from the from new you may have a problem. |

Thanks, we'll be doing some research for sure. I already know of a Mercedes Benz 2 door hardtop convertible that I have asked for a first option to buy. The owner isn't ready to let it go. It's a beautiful car. The driver/owner is a very nice person but, quick on the draw with smart assed remarks.  Ya never know what she's gonna do.  Rams

You don’t want to own a BMW past the warranty timeframe. Unless you do your own mechanic work and have an inside connection for parts, or deep pockets.

Rams Jealousy is an ugly thing If I remember didn't someone by the name of John do an awesome home repair, something to do with beams? Maybe digging in the soil bank makes them worry about whats in their pockets. I wonder how many people have 2 stoves? |
