I agree, I don’t see how anyone in government ever seen these tractor engines with black plumes of smoke coming out of them as “environmentally friendly” ever. Even the newer diesels still emit a shit load smoke.

I’ll buy it. Love BMW motorbikes, but I’m just learning now, don’t want something as bland as the Honda and don’t fancy the unreliability of the Duke.

Hang on, this is 4 inches shorter than my E46 touring? jfc

For the Euro bikers on here, my BMW E46 330i estate would be perfect at towing bikes, which is exactly what I’m going to use it for just as soon as I get my licence. You can get trailers that slot in under the 750kg max weight that requires a trailer licence in the UK too. It’s even got a removable tow bar. Perfect.

I bitch about fuel mileage on the fact my new car does half the MPG of my old one (1.5 diesel to 3 litre gas straight six will do it for you), but I always admit I’m the idiot.

Pretty sure this is used on cars panoramic sun roofs nowadays.

Yeah my 14 year old car told me to top up my wiper fluid the other day...

Americans.

Yeah because the Italians are famous for copying Japanese designs...

Especially considering the train from Goldeneye was like armoured to fuck.

I managed to lock my regular keys in my 14 year old BMW so I dread to think the shit that can happen with these type of keys. (Yes I am an idiot)

It’s the fact Bridgestone, and Michelin (apart from Indy, but at least they didn’t let them race without saying anything) were able to make tyres that can take this kind of punishment. Yeah the tyres are suppose to go off, but they’re not suppose to structurally fail, that’s the problem I have with it.

F1 tyres should be able to go through that punishment, Bridgestone didn’t have this problem, Michelins in sports car racing are even better.

Yeah, it’s basically in neutral territory, but it’s like, if you did come into our territory we can send our planes out this easily.

They do, that’s the problem.

Exactly, even after the promise of 40 laps, the tyres shouldn’t explode like they have C4 in them, they should’ve been safe enough to make it back to the pits after a drop off in performance.

No they didn’t. The tyres aren’t suppose to EXPLODE, that’s not them going off. If your street tyre exploded before it wore down to the canvas, that would be a little concerning right? Now imagine that after coming through Eau Rouge whilst doing about 200mph.

Yes I did see Vettel manage them because there was no drop off in time.

That’s the massive problem here, that nobody seems to be discussing. This was a structural mistake by Pirelli that they’re not admitting too. That tyre should have been fine, it was designed to go off performance wise way before a structural failure, there’s suppose to be another rubber compound below the race…

Probably cinematic licence, British Harriers even with ski jumps had their jet nozzles pointing pretty much down on take off.
