While driving around in the X6 Active Hybrid from his Los Angeles BMW dealer during a review, Peter makes a stop at his son’s elementary school to show us that making appointments on the South Bay BMW website is so easy that a regular 5^th grader can do it.

Peter visits the principal’s office and has his son paged to the computer room to give us a cool demonstration on the ease of making appointments and displays how a first timer can effortlessly utilize that benefit.

Peter’s son is sent back to class, and he continues his review of the X6 Active Hybrid. Peter’s dad from Palm Desert is in the market for a new car, so Peter reviews the new X6 Active Hybrid as a possible good match for him.

Peter tells him what he likes about the car and a couple things about it that might not fit his dad’s needs since he is a realtor in Palm Desert and has certain requirements from a vehicle for work

Peter hopes to be delivering one from the Los Angeles BMW dealer to his dad’s Palm Desert home very soon.

Here is the story!!

King Gillette Ranch (Mulholland @ Las Virgenes in Calabasas, CA) In the 1920’s, King Gillette was known for hosting the most prestigious parties in all of Los Angeles County on his sprawling 500 acre ranch. On the night of the last ball ever witnessed on the ranch, the inmates from a local asylum escaped and invaded the ball. Guests including Los Angeles’ high profile and elite ran from the mansion to get to their cars in the hopes of escaping, however, the inmates were much faster and more vicious. Only few escaped with their lives. It has been said that on most nights in October, you can see the frantic guests searching the King Gillette Ranch still looking for their cars.

Labimmerinsider hooked up with South Bay MINI and MOTORED to see if the Gillette Ranch haunting is true!

We are brave when in numbers!!!

It has been a customer favorite for years. Recently the New York Times published an article listing the top 10 grilled cheese sandwiches in Los Angeles.

The “Cheezy Delight” was snubbed. So we set up a challenge to see who really has the best grilled cheese sandwich in Los Angeles.

Segway versus a BMW M3? Riiiight.

The web is full of comparison articles. These range from useful reviews (“Which MP3 player is best if I’m too cheap to buy an iPod?”) to the downright nerd-tastic (“Who would win, the Borg Cube or the Imperial Star Destroyer?”) and on nearly every point of contention in between. You get two people who are into a subject, and they’ll inconvenience trillions of electrons on the Internet to prove their point.

This one’s a bit different than that. Most of these comparisons are comparing like to like. Spaceships to Spaceships, gadgets to gadgets, cars to cars. We’re now about to cross over into the a zone beyond comprehension – comparing apples to, well, apples.

In Los Angeles, there was recently a head to head competition between a BMW M3 roadster, and a Segway HT i180. Racing for pink slips. You’ll need to watch the video above to see who won. After you’ve done that, read on. We’ll wait.

OK, so now that you’ve watched that, let’s talk about some of the other points of comparison. While the M3 isn’t exactly an SUV, it also has a big advantage on cargo hauling. A Segway might be able to carry a box at the driver’s feet or let him carry a backpack. Also, if you’re looking to avoid sunburn, or getting wet in the rain, the M3 is a clear winner on that contest.

However, there are other advantages to the Segway. First, let’s talk about the biggie: Parking. Ever tried to park your hot car in the cubical in your office? In some offices in the Beach Areas in Los Angeles and Orange County, the number of guys with Segways in their cubicals outnumbers the people without.

We’re also going to look at miles per gallon (equivalent). Everyone’s talking about cash for clunkers, and how we’re trying to boost the average mileage and all that. A Li-Ion battery Segway can run about 15 miles off of a single charge, which is great if you’re that close to where you need it. The older NIMH battery ones have about 60% of that range. So there’s a clear winner on cruising range. On the other hand, the cost for a complete charge on a segway is about six cents of electricity in most parts of the US. The cost of 15 miles out of the M3 is, with current gas prices, just about twenty five times that. Plus there’s the other added factors to car ownership as well.

One place where there’s a clear winner, though, is babe magnet. Did you see how the girl with the flags was draping over the Segway driver in this video? That, my friend, is the killer feature of the Segway.
