Non-M: E46 ZHP

I used to be one of the bigger BMW fans. Traveled to Munich, did the BMW Ring Taxi. I owned the following: E90 325 (totaled by some other idiot), E92 328 (sold needing more room for microhumans), E90 335. All of those were three pedal cars, and I enjoyed every single one. I should not have to go M3 to enjoy a proper…

I’d rather have 2,000 hp and 1 mile of range.

But the ZCP rims were the best OEM BMW wheels ever.

So she still owes $2000 on the car after the fire?

If it’s going to be an automatic, I like the idea of a one pedal only application. Kind of like the hydrastatic (sp) drive on Deere Gators and Mowers, they force you to constantly monitor and vary your speed. Might not be the worst thing for distracted driving.

Damn. I have to go change my afternoon plans now.

They can help with aerodynamics depending on the application. F1 cars used to run an exhaust blown diffuser that could increase downforce. The placement of this though would be more for a dynamic rear wing being blown.

Please remember people this is only one type of crash. As far as I can remember, cars have been hitting cars and other objects in an infinite number of ways.

Chrysler brand reminds me of what BMW did to the Z4. BMW moved the Z4 way upmarket by simply charging more for the same product, and then blamed customers for not wanting roadsters anymore when their sales sucked.

Just have the hypersoft be the only tire available for the weekend. Solved.

I rotate my tires after every trip to the store. Helps even out the wear.

How are you going to late brake coming down off that hill into a hairpin? I know from my kids wooden train sets that the trains always derail on a sharp turn right after a hill.

I am all for them. Yes, it is no replacement for looking around, but a well executed design can include a fisheye type lens without great distortion at the edges. It gives a decent wide angle view. We have had the optics skills for a century to make a good camera with good field of view. Shame on the manufacturers for…

Track is useless without a crossover point

Here is an idea: To avoid true embarrassment, don’t wrap your F40 around a pole.

I got pulled over for going over 100 mph in a 55 in VA! Left with only a warning.

My neighbor has a tuned SC430 that certainly makes it more sporty. Drop, tune, boat exhaust, carbon hood (not pictured). He autocrosses the thing. I just cannot imagine going through all this to an SC430. Its not like the last production car to still have a tape player was all that advanced to begin with.

Already overpriced with the JK. This new JL does add well needed features as options, but wow. Almost $4k over the outgoing JK?

Let the bottom fall out of the car market. There was no real justifiable reason for the auto industry to have an average uptick of $10k when the market tanked in 2008.
