Seen here in its nocturnal habitat, the Bavaricus Maximus variety e39 awaits a new day. Rarely viewed in this form with its engine access point in the closed position, e39 has formed a symbiotic relationship with its fellow garage inhabitant, Wagonus Flexi. Ever eager to please, Flexi is all too happy to retrieve the…

Those people don’t know they can get an E36 M3 for the price of a Mirage.

I’m guessing you’ve grown up with Fords? Even if the door is locked, every Ford I’ve seen will open, regardless and this is a PROBLEM. My (admittedly stupid) brother once tried to open the door on the freeway (this was back before seatbelt laws existed) as he was leaning on it, luckily we were in a Chevy so it didn’t…

I went from this:

You can find them listed next to all the 3-series Bimmers with a V6.

But Camero Camaro still comes in at number one.

Two of us are in! Let’s write a memo to BMW. That’s all it took for them to make the 4 Gran Coupe!

Too bad that everything that comes out of it sounds like its been pulled through a tinny, smelly garbage can echo chamber...

Hellcat challenger? Don't know if you count it as full production, but it comes with a stick

What the hell, Doug? How is it all of your friends are beautiful?

Yeah, that happened to me once. Or six times. For me, it’s not snapping bolt heads. It’s those goddamn retaining nuts that BMW (and others) use to “locate and secure” rotors to the hubs. WTF? The heads are apparently made of Play-Doh.

Timeserts are 100000000x better than helicoils any day

1989-1991 you mean. The 318iS had the M42 as well

That would be the e30 320is, a tax restriction special offered only in Italy and Portugal, featuring a smaller (1993cc) displacement S14 and the M3’s gearbox. It had fairly unique bodywork, and was offered in coupe and sedan. Everything else was standard equipment. Essentially it’s a cushier but more rev-happy M3, and…

‘91 318i

What you did there.
