PPF – What Is It?. For car enthusiasts who are passionate about maintaining the pristine condition of their vehicle’s paint, PPF is a highly recommended solution. Hardy explains that PPF acts as a barrier, protecting the original paint from various types of damage such as UV rays, road debris, and harsh weather conditions. This protective layer ensures that your vehicle’s paint remains in excellent condition for a longer period. A unique feature of XPEL’s PPF is its self-healing capability, which allows it to repair minor scratches and imperfections on its own. This innovative technology not only extends the life of your vehicle’s paint but also makes it easier to clean and maintain, preserving the car’s aesthetic appeal over time.

BMW gave the 2025 BMW M3 a light refresh for 2025, and now, you can build one via the US configurator. Although the M3 facelift changes are limited year-over-year, we still took a crack at building one. If you’re wondering, we maxed one out to an eye-watering MSRP of $114,500. Of course, that car included carbon brakes, matte paint, and – perhaps the most unnecessary – an automatic transmission. Here’s a quick look at the possibilities for your 2025 BMW M3 builds.

Billionaire Joe Ricketts has ordered crews to immediately stop construction of his long-planned Sublette County luxury resort, and restore the area to its natural condition. A project that would have made a tourist destination out of the tiny, sleepy Hoback River basin community of Bondurant has been called off because of protective wildlife stipulations that abbreviated the construction season. Ricketts sought an exemption from the seasonal restrictions, which he claimed in a memo obtained by WyoFile would have increased the cost of building the high-end all-inclusive resort by $60 million to $100 million, but his request was denied .

Having been launched back in 2015, the Audi A4 was in dire need of a replacement. The all-new model is finally out, and it goes by another name. The A5 Sedan and A5 Avant replace the old A4-badged models and come along with spicy S5 performance versions. However, we should clarify the A5/S5 Sedan is not a sedan in the truest sense of the word. It has a more practical tailgate instead of the traditional trunk lid. In other words, it’s effectively a replacement for the old A5 Sportback.

The New Audi A5 Fights The BMW 3 Series, 4 Series Gran Coupe

The small case 168 differential on the four-cylinder petrol BMW 1 Series and E90 3 Series ranges is a bit troublesome. There is no obvious reason for this to be so – it is a very well-made unit, machined to incredibly fine tolerances, and uses bearings from well-respected manufacturers. However, many begin to whine by 70,000 miles and can get really noisy. While it is rare for a diff to fail, I recently replaced a diff in a 2008 BMW 320i Coupe (E92) that was close to a big failure and a loss of drive.
