“He also made it clear that the car should be relatively easy to tune...”

They’re very difficult to watch without me feeling some level of discomfort and embarrassment. Things like this are part of the reason that most friends and coworkers aren’t aware that I’m a car enthusiast.

Why is this channel so frequently highlighted by Jalopnik?

The citation wasn’t terrible for its time and the X11 variant was reasonably competitive in SCCA racing. A lot has obviously changed in 30+ years and the car is basically a piece of garbage by modern standards.

Hold on. I’ll be right back

Two direction carbon fiber has more stiffness against weight and resistance to damage than aluminum. Unidirectional is even stronger than two-direction. Carbon fiber even exceeds steel in some tests when talking about resistance to damage.

What purpose does the large hole in the hood serve? The one on the stock CTR is just for design purposes from what I can tell.

Oh darn. My life and preferences are completely dictated by what others like, so this is terrible news. Just terrible news.

I like wheels that are lightweight and have a little bit more going on. HRE comes to mind. Their R40 is an example of a pretty, lightweight, well engineered wheel.

This is a message I can support. Though parallels aren’t even 2nd to other wheels BMW has churned out.

Have you ever said something with complete confidence to someone when you have no idea what you’re talking about? To add to your embarassment, it’s not until someone points it out to you that you realize how embarrassingly wrong you are?

The e39 and e38 are gorgeous cars and I’m flattered that you’re so interested in my wheel design preferences.

Yes. Because there are only two possible outcomes when designing something: Ugly or Boring.

A little bit of both? I see them absolutely everywhere and the design itself is somewhat boring. It’s just a split 5 spoke design.

It’s not an opinion - It’s a fact. A factually correct fact that is in fact not wrong.

Counterpoint: M Parallels = boring
