Not an X5... But how often do you see a Fisker Karma on the road?

This was my favorite thread before I finally bought my very own (well, my wife's). I never thought I'd enjoy an SUV so much!

A: about once a month around here.

p.s. Tesla sued them because their Model S was designed by the Fisker founder, and they claimed he did the best work for Fisker, not Tesla. Suit fizzled away, but they were right. The Models S looks like a Ford Taurus someone sat on, and interior is Buick grade. That huge terminal reminds me of trading desk. If it looked better in/out, there would be one in my driveway. the Karma on the other hand looks great. Too bad about them batteries.

They're definitely unique. Grabbed a pic of him getting ready to fly past me, too. Front end looks good.

Expensive paddles. Aside from looks different what benefits do they provide? Do they light up? Made out of aluminum?

Yup it's going to cost more since its full replacements.

A little lighter, material seems like aluminum backs and plastic fronts. They sit out wider than our stock ones. Just easier to shift IMO and look far better than stock m sport paddles

Are you doing a DIY on those?

Wife's 35i M-Sport arrived on Friday... I was out chasing the northern lights early Saturday morning. Don't beat me up on composition and focus. I know these stink! It was cold and the northern lights disappeared... Just tried to grab a few quick ones!

On your Flickr page go to the photo you want to show and click on the curved arrow symbol that is the share button. then a small window pops up and gives you options. Click on the BBcode link and copy your URL.
