Same thing BMW did when they went Turbo. Consider it equivalent displacement. IE 335 is a 3 liter but the 330 was also a 3 liter. Yeah I know the 328 debacle somewhat overshadows that...

Huh in 2004 I paid more to have a car without a spare tire and include a can of fix a flat and a pump, as well as free towing for life. All in the quest for 50/50 weight balance... M power baby.

Anyone notice that like at least 1/3 of the KC-10 fleet is on the tarmac at that base? Which appears to be Travis AFB

I don't think the Super Hornet has strong enough landing gear to use a ski jump. Plans that use them have to be strengthened past normal Carrier Ops.

Nope it will not.. The CSL is still aero limited under 200. Even Loaded CSL was not hitting 200mph, they had more downforce though. 30 more hp is not going to get you from 180 to 200, even with the slightly lighter weight, aero wise the CSL is the same as a normal M. Now the M3 GTR on the other hand... if anyone…

450 at the crank is going to be about the bottom hp you will be able to do this with. Even a car without downforce aids like M3's and are very slippery with power at the top of the rev band need that much to think about it. Although an e46M is aero limited at 180 (gps not speedo) with 333hp... the E92M is about the…

Hey YO! Obama canceled that program due to the costs. Perhaps with some education or knowledge and you might be president some day!

At least 25 birds. Anytime the Pres is onboard they have 5 in the air. So think spares and pre positioned birds for foreign travel. That number also included the design of the re-design from the baseline bird including developement of the special defenses and communications that those birds have. It also included…

Chuck Yeager called him the best pilot ever. Yeah that Chuck Yeager...

Plus 100, I saw him fly a few times, each was magic.

Partially wet for the Camaro, with the 350r on R compounds in the dry... I can see that, in partial wet conditions you are going to loose a fair amount of time on the ring depending on where the wet is. I know that many of the parts that dry out last after overnight rain are in the higher speed corners leading into…

5. is legit... the door overhang makes it really hard to get out in any parking space if there is a car next to you.

If it is going into second early, you are doing either something wrong, or you there might be a fix, or I can offer a simple change. One if you are going into a slow speed turn in 4th or 5th the car is going to downshift no matter what as you would be bogging the car down. In my experience 70k miles on an smg... you…

unless they are going back up, there is not a 5k spread on manual cars, and I do not think anything has broken 30k in awhile. The last big sale on an e46M3's was a full Dinan kit with SC on an early 2001 with less then 8k miles for 28k.

Yes one website has that number... Go back and check every other source that puts them at best 4.9 in a 2s with the 320hp motor. Even the 911 "40 Jahre" with the 345hp motor is 4.8. Lets be honest though here, neither of these cars are made for straight line. On the track the 911 with the right driver has the edge.…

The e46M3 is a great car... the advice we give people is that 2k a year in tires/service should be budgeted on a 12k miles a year usage. You also need 3-5k in hand incase something major happens which is not common. Otherwise they are pretty darn reliable. Good e46's with decent milage will run 20-24k depending on…

Yeah it happens and its not cheap to pull the radiator... On the other hand you are faster then all caymans and 1st gen Cayman S's and it was not untill the 997 came out 4 years later that a non turbo 911 was faster...

First the M3 does not have a weak impeller... that was the Non M's... Second SMG is great once you understand it. Better on the track and for Daily Driving. If you want a weekend bomber go stick. The rod bearing issue was less then 200 engines in 2002 and BMW covered all of those cars and more. No one has had a…

That's really low for a under 80k mile car.. Grey over black... If it was a grey over grey with nav ( least wanted car) that price is still low...
