The little round thingy up on the snorkel usually houses a cyclone chamber to centrifuge the dust out of the air. In addition the air in snorkel height is significantly cleaner than in normal intake height.

Fun fact: in the E34, BMW eliminated the need for a flasher relay by giving its work to the ZKE (Zentrale Karosserie-Elektronik = Central body electronic). Not wanting to irritate the customers, they placed a classic clicking relais in the dashboard that has nothing to do with the indicators aside from clicking in…
Hi David!
Well, “Cold War” is a little stretched, since it generally went up to 1989 ... the pictured E34 touring is a ‘92 model (touring introduced 9/91, E36 mirrors on E34 came 9/92). In addition, it has white turn signals, which were standard only on M5 models. Police cars never would have had them retrofitted.
Oh, I’m sure, somewhere in Germany, preferably in the east, there is a Dodge Ram or a Chevy M1008 with both. Driven by a mustachioed guy with a mullet (srsly).
This is actually a thing with a lot of US-car fans here in Germany. Either a Confederate flag or a “dream catcher” to signalize you totally dig the “American way of life” ... not really knowing what either of those symbolize.
Bonus points if they’re on a late 2nd or a 3rd gen. V6 Camaro/Firebird, along with a shag…
That sounds awfully like a urban legend on the rise...

Ah, I must admit, I failed to describe my cooking method correctly. I normally use the “risotto” approach: put spaghetti in pan, cover with ~1 cm (very roughly 0,5") and cook until pasta is done, which normally is when all water is evaporated. Sometimes I might have to add a little water. So it is no wonder that I’m…
Yup
“Go home and shave, you look like a frickin yeti!
Only problem I had with that way: Even non-stick pans were hard to clean afterwards. But the pasta was al dente and super creamy at the same time.

It really is a lot of trouble. Opel was planning to release the Omega with the LS1, slightly detuned to 310 hp, in 2000. They too had to change the firewall, design new headers and auxilliary systems. The brochures were already printed when management pulled the plug on the project. The 4L60E transmission was to weak…
The brands are owned in fact by the SAME company (to be precise SDF Group, which stands for [wait for it] SAME Deutz-Fahr). It started as Società Accomandita Motori Endotermici and the over the years acquired Lamborghini Trattori, Swiss Hürlimann and German Deutz-Fahr (which in itself came from the fusion of the…
The rough surface is no problem if correctly seasoned. I’m using a cast iron griddle plate on my gas grill for grilling fish. It came as rough as any cast iron skillet but with regular use (can’t stress this enough) it got wonderfully non-stick. I never have to use the spatula “with force”, the fish un-sticks so much…
Otherwise, why would they need such a large fuel tank located directly under the steering wheel?
