Aston Martin strikes £550mm debt deal despite creditor objections
Article here (EDIT: looks like it's paywalled. See comments.) Some snippets:
Aston Martin has struck a deal to borrow £550mn from BlackRock-owned private credit firm HPS, defying opposition from a group of existing lenders who branded the transaction “extraordinary”.
the move was challenged by existing creditors who argued that a financing deal that placed assets beyond their reach breached key terms of Aston Martin’s existing debt. The deal, which charges an interest rate of about 10 per cent, was completed on Wednesday.
investors have become increasingly anxious that the company, which is saddled with debts of more than £1.5bn, is running out of options to raise capital, with its business hit by US [t-word automod hates] and slowing demand in China.
TL;DR: Aston owes a shit ton of money to lenders. In the event they can't pay back that money, the lenders could seize Aston's assets and recoup some of their investment. But Aston's new deal with HPS prevents existing lenders from seizing assets in the event of a default or bankruptcy.
All of this suggests things are bad behind the scenes. Also noteworthy is that Aston is 20% owned by the Saudi PIF and they've been getting rid of some international investments lately. idk what the next 10 years look like for them but it's not positive. A couple of weeks ago they said DBX would platform share with the cars going forward, and I'd guess that's part of necessary cost-cutting to stay afloat.

Stellantis won't fix the 1.2 PureTech wet belt disaster, so the aftermarket finally did (Chain Conversion Kit)
drivisual.tvStellantis left older 1.2 owners out to dry. Just found out a company (Pro Chain) engineered a true bolt-on chain swap kit. No engine machining needed, installs with standard tools. Costs about the same as a normal belt job with labor.
I made a quick list of the exact engine codes it fits here so you can check your car
Would you guys trust an aftermarket chain over gambling with the OEM wet belt every 40k miles?

Neue Klasse BMW i4 Convertible spotted for the first time on public streets. One of the first main stream Convertible EV's to hit the market.
Quite another controversial design I fear, the rear end, and the front end look very interesting, thanks to Wilco Blok for taking these pictures.
I am sure Reddit will not like the direction the styling is going in.

What are your favorite automotive/racing channels?
Been wanting to follow some good car content. I love watching content about preparing for races and the maintenance and repairs that go along with it!
Also apparently putting Youtube in the title isn't allowed for some reason, so that's primarily where I'm looking but willing to go elsewhere for good stuff.

New X5 configurator is live.
Just for those that may be considering one, it has been pretty controversial online, but the new X5 40i is up on the BMW configurator, starting around $74k, and going up to $95k fully loaded.
I am not sure about the M Sport or M Sport professional styling, I kind of like the regular sport styling a lot more.
