Depending on how serious the accident was (and if there was any pending maintenance that needed to be done), that would have been a hell of a deal.

The late, great Patrick George said it best:

This is exactly the kind of car I want at some point: 6 speed, 3.0L and no turbos. Throw on the 330i intake manifold to bump the power to 250, add proper pads and fluids and drive it enthusiastically

So at $4k, it’s a crack pipe car.

It’s a 3.0L N52 motor, not a 2.5L M52 motor.  Big difference.  If you haven’t driven one, you don’t know what you are missing.

$5-6k E82 cars are almost exclusively automatics.  No bueno.

Slipping clutch could also be as simple as the (IMHO, idiotic) clutch delay valve going bad. The first change I made when I bought my 2010 128i was to delete it.

I came here to say this.  I was not disappointed.

I read that as “some prostate millionaire teenager’s YouTube channel.” 

What is wrong with me?

“Bloody Peasant!”

That’s some good Kinja right there.  Take your damn star.

BMW lost me when they got rid of hydraulic steering.

Blocked with calf, not thigh.  I will leave it to others to debate the merits of the actual call.

That’s some good Kinja.  COTD.

Or a hose to spray her gardenias.  

She’d smash her fucking face in with the recoil with her arm like that...Additionally, he’s gonna fucking smash his wrist off from the recoil holding the rifle like that, so close to the front.

Fair point. On the other hand, is two avowed feminists advocating for a female president considered racist (setting aside one’s feelings about Hillary Clinton)? If they were advocating for yet another old white dude against Obama, that would have been completely inappropriate, but in 2008, it was a discussion of first…

The wrap is less about the rider’s legs and more about trying to keep the exhaust gasses hot all the way through the pipes for better flow / scavenging. Was a standard cafe-racer mod in the 1960s for BSA / Triumph / Norton riders trying to eke a little more performance out of their bikes to “break the ton”.

That being…

I think they meant it like ‘orange is the new black’ - re: fashion color, not race.  At least that’s how I read it at the time.

This is probably bougie-bland in comparison, but one morning many years back, I was out taking some flakes of hay to the goats in the barn when I felt something on my head - I looked up and realized a rat was peeing on me.
