...and the BMW build quality is all there.

The triple turbo is on the 50d series of diesel engines sold in Europe. The B58 used in this car is a single twin-scroll turbo.

Good job on not going for the easy low hanging fruit like most have.

You won’t like it. BMW turbo engines are ridiculously torquey from very low RPMs. You get hardly any lag.

Yes, some of us don’t like convertibles.

This is one thing I’ve never figured out. Why do all of these manufacturers test at the Nurburgring and then put a setup on the car that wouldn’t be good for that track. On a track as bumpy and undulating as this you would want a fairly compliant suspension setup that wouldn’t cause unexpected weight transfer.

It’s a turbo inline 6, RWD, two door GT car. The only real difference is the lack of rear seats and the evidently apocalypse causing lack of a manual transmission.

Wait, real questions are allowed? I thought we had to rehash the same tired jokes from every Supra article like brainless drones.

The thing is, Sapa probably made good parts when they first started supplying to the ordnance company because there were plenty of successful rockets flights where the nose cone opened.

I think they decided that you had to wind out the engine at every opportunity. If you drive like a sane and rational human being, I know there’s only like 5 in the whole world, you should be able to get great mileage out of one.

And if you didn’t abuse it, it was actually possible to easily exceed the EPA mpg rating.

I said this up above on different comment, but...Also see the Toyobaru twins.

Also see the Toyobaru twins.

You way overestimate the distances that hillclimb cars actually do.

Don’t forget that they were also responsible for the Pacer and Gremlin. There is some sins that must be atoned for there.

Both are shitheads who have rejected logic for blind loyalty. I’m pretty sure that makes them all assholes.

The correct answer is obviously Moon.

Alltrack is a VW. Are you thinking of the Crosstrek?

This is kind of my view on it. It seems somewhat irresponsible to give 500+ HP without AWD to the average driver. I could give myself some good scares in a 400 HP car with AWD if I was just a little too careless with the loud pedal and I pride myself on being a fairly smooth driver.

How has this not shown up in the comments yet?
