Somewhere on here is the list of all the vehicles I have test driven in this adventure to buying a new car. It was close to 20 different vehicles.Did you go Drive one?
Love the Ineos. They picked one of the best Modular BMW engines for it. The B58 when down tuned is a beast. One thing Ineos failed on is the gas tank. Every used Ineos the car fax says replaced Fuel tank like 3 times.Ineos has an option where you can get part of the frame red. I loved that option.

I thought it was funny when I test drove it that it’s the same engine that’s in our Supra.Love the Ineos. They picked one of the best Modular BMW engines for it. The B58 when down tuned is a beat\st.

Its a very good engine when taken care of properly even when out of warranty. And its really because they can handle alot of stress when stock. I’ve seen people pushing close to 500hp on stock components.I thought it was funny when I test drove it that it’s the same engine that’s in our Supra.
The INEOS factory in France is the former Smart car factory, which was a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Swatch. G-Wagens have always been built in Graz, Austria, in the same plant that made the Supra/Z4.Its a very good engine when taken care of properly even when out of warranty.

I find it funny that every time BMW is involved with building a car from scratch with another brand they always have the same formula of three countries, Germany, France, England. Beside Toyota since thats just a Z4.
The early Minis that came to the USA were Built in the UK, had a Engine developed by BMW and Peugeot. Like how is it possible.
And then you have Ineos(UK), Engine BMW, Built in the old G wagen factory in France.
Weird!!!
Oh yeah terrible, but they have safari windows @R1TVT SAFARI WINDOWS!All I needed to see when it came to the Ineos Grenadier, right here:
*The official EPA fuel economy ratings for the Ineos Grenadier range from 14 to 15 MPG combined, depending on the model and trim.
Those woook gweat wif widddle waddders.Oh yeah terrible, but they have safari windows @R1TVT SAFARI WINDOWS!
But does it have a nice compass?Oh yeah terrible, but they have safari windows @R1TVT SAFARI WINDOWS!
That was my favorite feature on the Grenadier.
That is a pretty nice compass:But does it have a nice compass?

I think just the Grenadier. I do love the console on the Grenadier. All the buttons and switches, in the overhead too. The BMW shifter is a little out of place though.That is a pretty nice compass:

@cyure - Since you've test driven every recent vehicle known to man, how many have a physical compass of some sort?

The Graz factory is also owned by Magna. So it’s a contracted factory. Which is perfect for low production vehicles.The INEOS factory in France is the former Smart car factory, which was a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Swatch.

Holy button nightmare BatmanI think just the Grenadier. I do love the console on the Grenadier. All the buttons and switches, in the overhead too. The BMW shifter is a little out of place though.

Oh yeah. Felt like being in the cockpit of an airplane. I loved that part. And as I mentioned earlier, SAFARI WINDOWS!Holy button nightmare Batman![]()
Any console like this where the dash is interupted with a high screen like that is deal breaker for me, but the buttons and knobs below vents look nicely proportioned. I can't remember which 4X4 I test drove with a similar set up (maybe Jeep?) but couldn't get past it.I think just the Grenadier. I do love the console on the Grenadier. All the buttons and switches, in the overhead too. The BMW shifter is a little out of place though.

Reminds me too much of the older Saabs which always seemed busy. This feels WAY too busy for meI think just the Grenadier. I do love the console on the Grenadier. All the buttons and switches, in the overhead too. The BMW shifter is a little out of place though.

Fun fact thats actually is just a ZF transmission shift knob. But is commonly called a BMW style Shifter.I think just the Grenadier. I do love the console on the Grenadier. All the buttons and switches, in the overhead too. The BMW shifter is a little out of place though.
