I just picked up a Stinger GT AWD last month... LOVING it so far. Debated waiting on the G70 as I think the interior is much nicer and, well, it seems a bit more on the sophisticated side. But now having seen it up close, I can’t say the styling is as nice or as distinctive as the Stinger. Dig the diamond stitching…
So for the same money you could have a reliable straight-6...or Audi’s timing-chain-behind-the-god-damn-engine rattling nightmare that is the S4 V8 engine? This is a bad idea.
That’s my guess, too. It was a timing chain failure of some form but he used VANOS as a shorthand for the whole valvetrain assembly.
Very true about the VANOS point. It would never bent the valve stems or cause a situation where this would be possible. Folks drive with bad VANOS units all the time, until they get the solenoid or seals replaced. I will add to your point that, part of the S54s maintenance were valve adjustments. If the valve…
Neat, but the answer with custom stuff like this is almost always CP.
BMW offered manuals on most flavors of the F3x 3 and 4 series, (except the Touring and GT) and the take rate kept dropping to rounding errors except on the M3/4. It doesn’t make sense for BMW to develop transmission options no one will buy.
It’s a straight 6.
Count me among those disappointed that the all-new 2019 BMW 3 Series won’t have a manual gearbox option except on…
They don’t “need” to...every one is sold so advertising lap times isn’t needed to move them. The 911 GT2 RS is only “limited production” in the sense that they will only make as many as they sell, there is no set number they expect to meet, but they would love to sell a bunch more to those that car about lap times…
Those brakes are bananas!
Unfortunately I think we feared/knew this was coming, but it was still a huge punch to the gut to have it confirmed :(
We first saw the 2019 McLaren Speedtail last night, but that was just a limited set of pictures in a leak. Now the…
Not for any price would I be willing to buy an X6, let alone this monstrosity.
Friend of mine just got to live out one of my bucket list items recently.
Man I remember when a few years ago, the E46 was everyone’s internet whipping boy for being too fat and complicated and the last REAL 3-series was the E30 and the E36 was for peasants who liked complicated things like “Crumple zones” and “OBD Diagnostics”.
The part where BMW makes a shitload of money selling cars that aren’t “decent”.
He doesn’t want to hear it because that comes from people who don’t buy new cars.
Did they have the TruCoat?
