One more.

Here comes the flock of people posting old BMW posters of the rabbit with the big front paws. How predictable.

True, snobbery is what BMW has been trading on for a long time.  I wonder if that air of elitism will continue to hold up after they become Minis with less personality.

came here for this, leaving happy. well, actually this

Without the RWD, why would you buy the BMW over an A3, Golf or A-class?

Ya dead to me, BMW.

This is the holy-grail of comments.

Is Jalopnik, like, contractually obligated to attach “Holy-Grail” to every description of this engine?

In a smaller displacement engine you have to cram that much air and fuel into a smaller space- you’re running higher compression, which is hard on the gaskets and seals. A small engine blown to within an inch of its life may give similar numbers to a large engine, but the environment inside the powerplant is rather…

Because horsepower is really a measure of torque. The V8 makes more torque per revolution than the 2.7. As a result, the 2.7 must do more work to make up the difference. Unfortunately, internal combustion engines aren’t efficient, and most of the work ends up wasted in heat and exhaust.

SOLD!

I get what you’re saying, but I’m pretty sold on this engine tower concept I’ve got going.

Maybe we should orient them so that the cylinder banks are on a different planes, maybe in some sort of V type shape.

B. One on top of the other.

Okay, so hear me out. I’m not a scientist or anything, but it seems to me like the solution here is to put two of the 4 cylinders into the engine bay. The truck’s big enough, it’ll probably work. Then you’ll get even more power, and surely that will lead to increased gas mileage. Right?

Amphibians, ass.

Some dinos were small reptiles.

Will PETA get pissed if I try dyno-ing small reptiles?

I’ve been a photojournalist 17 years and I’ve never liked filters because they make my $1600 lens a little soft. Why spend that kind of money on glass then slap coke-bottles to the end? It seems like a waste.
