Pics from the Curbside: 2018-07-15

Some pictures taken on my walk this past Sunday to Memorial Park West, along the Midtown Bikeway (which mostly follows 37th Avenue) Interestingly, I actually live pretty close to Memorial Park SOUTH, whereas this western bretheren is a whopping 10km away.

BMW F30 with complete M-Performance add-ons. Local dealers did have a few of them completely done-up and in stock, listing them for almost $80k CAD. Normally I’d say that that is insane, but the F80 M3 that is optioned the way I want is just over $100k CAD, so *shrugs*
