This post triggered me a little.I did my apprenticeship from 2017-2021 at Key in kzn and I cannot fathom signing off a job card knowing full well that I didn't perform the work that was expected of me.

The comments on TikTok and my DMs suggest this is unfortunately a fairly common problem - my guess is especially on V8s where it may be donkey work? I can't imagine the workshop foremen are checking over basic things like spark plugs - more worrying about whether the appies are not messing up bigger/higher stakes jobs. This is the only working theory that makes any sense.

Compared to the F90, the G90 does feel a bit hit and miss. Its insanely quick for something as heavy as it is, but it doesn't feel fun at all to drive. The F90 really was peak BMW M car of the turbo generation, I'd hold onto this if I were you for life.

I went for a ride in the G99 Touring and its absolutely massive. Feels like you in a boat on wheels. Don't really like the way it looks either as its giving too much of Mercedes R Class Vibes from a few years back which was more or less designed to be a hearse.
