This is the quintessentialal mis-shift video.

There's a video of a crane falling while hoisting one of those cranks. I can't find it anywhere though but it is crazy.

The whole time I was wondering when that damn air horn was going to run out of air. All I wanted to hear was some rally car music.

I bet they were testing.

Remember there is a big difference in terms of "cast in" holes and drilled holes. Drilling into the metal weakens the surrounding structure creating stress points where it can form cracks if pushed to its limits. If it is an OEM part it may be cast in. But we will never know.

You can't really have one without the other. You can have LSD all day but without a proper suspension to put the power to the ground you aren't going to keep up with any real M cars around a track. Straight line speed may outrun the M3, but come to the corners and that's where it will fall flat.

I never said it was flawed. I said BMW half-assed it and they did. The did one half very well (suspension, chassis control...) but half-assed getting the US a real M derived engine instead of a standard M50 based engine. Every other M derived vehicle has had an engine that was not based on the standard engine for that…

BMW half-assed the US version of the E36 M3.

Arguably the real differences have been things like the revised suspension components, strengthened mounting points and other M-only parts. The LSD is only a small portion of M specific parts.

Does consumer reports even have any weight any more?

Well apparently what this list shows is that if you are a public figure and you don't die during you stupidity you get off with not even a slap on the wrist. Fair justice system my ass.

All I see is an Evo X with a Subaru badge. Boy did they sure make it ugly.

I don't care if I have a clock in my car. Because I don't need to tell time because I know I am going so fast time is flowing backwards.

I don't understand how you can take your car to a car wash...

I watched a youtube video where the overhead crane broke and dropped the crankshaft onto the journals from like 15ft up. My god that would be an expensive accident.

banked turn.

If you knew anything about BMW's you would never mention the word DINAN in a sentence without the words overpriced crap.

I saw a 435 for the first time in person yesterday. Can't say it made me excited. It looked like one of those girls in highschool who played a lot of soccer. From the waist up nice, but damn that bottom half is hugee and not in the good/aggressive kind of way.

I've got a Daytona 675 with Leo Vince slip on and TuneECU tune. It is badass. and ridiculously loud.

Daytona 675, but I'm biased.
