My apologies for the dark studio. I usually use natural lighting for my videos, and clearly the sun was fading fast leaving the commentator (me) in the dark.

My BMW 650i E63 - A high maintenance relationship. This car left me stranded more than once. Here I talk about some of my experiences with the 650i throughout my 3 years of ownership.

Alternator failure, dead battery, smoke from exhaust, electrical issues, oil leaks, ugh..
