This BMW EV costs around $70,000 and can drive itself in traffic

In this demonstration, he looks at a BMW electric SUV expected to cost around $70,000, focusing on its advanced automated driving and parking technology.

It can also park itself automatically, even in tight spaces, using cameras and sensors to guide the car with precision. The system shows how BMW is moving closer to semi-autonomous driving in everyday vehicles. After watching the demo, it’s clear this BMW is as much about technology as it is about performance.

This trailer looked like pallets, then the door opened

A trailer that looks like a load of pallets turns out to be a hidden camper built inside hollow wood walls. The setup includes a skylight, a small power system, and 360-degree cameras to monitor anyone nearby. The parking spot is a closed hardware store lot with a highway nearby and businesses close enough to blend in. The biggest risk is light leaking at night, giving away that someone is inside. A stealth test outside shows how close the setup comes to being invisible.

Clean sticky car radio buttons DIY + selling an Audi R8 for a Miata - Paul's car story

To stay safe during quarantine, I am making videos with my 2012 MK6 GTI and 2004 Cayenne Turbo. I discovered a useful trick for cleaning the sticky radio knobs in the Cayenne, a common issue in older Ferraris due to sun exposure, although their buttons are harder to remove. If you have any car video requests, let me know! Thanks to @HooviesGarage for inspiring me to buy my first Porsche. Recently, Paul bought a 4th generation Club Edition 6-speed MX-5, known as a Mazda Miata ND, to replace his beautiful V10-powered R8 with a dual clutch. I met him when he owned the first dual clutch Audi R8 in the USA with an S-Tronic transmission. His latest purchase was a 991.1 Porsche GT3RS. This video is a remote interview with Paul discussing his past cars and why he chose the Miata over a BMW M4 convertible and Bentley Continental GTC while shopping for a replacement for the Audi R8 V10 Plus. I, Ben, currently own a 1991 BRG Limited Edition Miata and previously had a classic red 1995 Miata as my weekend car, alongside my MK6 GTI DSG and Mini Cooper S (6-speed).
