Nasal Sebum, or Squalene, can be used to lubricate watches. Squalene is sold seperately as well as a mechanical lubricant for watches, but our noses secrete the same damn stuff. 

Dude: Just rub the lubricant produced by your nose, nasal sebum onto your key. Since Jalopnik likes lists, here’s 3 easy steps:

I’ve been using BMW iDrive since August 2014 and I find my version to be outstanding in every regard - simplistic controls, intuitive UI, and good responsive ECU.

It’s 2 inches longer, .5" less wide, and 2" shorter....so I don’t know Id say the rs5 is “bigger”

I’ve been blessed to own an 6mt f80 m3 since August 2014 which now has 69k glorious trouble-free miles on it. I drive my kids to school in it and enjoy the heck out of it year round.

CP because at this price you can get a pretty nice 1st gen Boxster with similar mileage but a better driving experience. And frankly Porsche built those quite well and maintenance would likely be less and less costly than the Audi (and yes I know the overblown IMS bearing concern).

give it 2 years and the S58 will be more widely adopted. It’s headed into the new g80 M3/M4 as well. 

If you are single and therefore have a household income of $42k (which, yep, that’s what BLS says for 25-34), then yes you are going to be somewhat cash strapped with a takehome income of say $2500/month after health insurance payments.

Put a completely other way: Many automotive experts rushed to publish first independent dyno results despite massive flaws with dynos and unknowns about key testing variables and of course....despite concerns with the actual results being published.

Just to brag: I have a 2015 m3 I’ve owned since brand new. About 68k miles on it now. It has a digital break pad wear indicator predicting how long they’ll last, and that’s been backed up by visual inspection (including just yesterday when I switched to winter tires).

Huh? What corrosion are you referring to? I see lots of aluminum and brake fluid is non-corrosive to almost all metals (ain’t good for paint or in bleach, but those are different stories). 

What’s the total weight of this system? I can’t get a good idea from the pics. 10-15 pounds including fluid? 20-25 pounds?

Brake fluid in a brake application goes through a, relatively speaking, much more exposed atmosphere to dirt and water accumulation than what I believe is happening here. Further, you change brake fluid specifically because it absorbs 2% water per year (or so) and you heat it up so much that it begins to fail it’s…

Dat Trap Speed...

Any Jag owner who can’t be bothered to actually clean the wheels and just relies upon a machine wash to take care of wheel dust - and puts the car for sale with the resulting blend of clean/dirty front wheel in the pics - should not sell the vehicle for >$10k. CP.

Are you able to cite actual use statistics for this statement, “Things like lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and vehicle detection have become significant game-changers on the roadways”

Yes I get that, but when you ARE at 6000 RPMs in a 2:1 gear you are getting 2x the torque AT THE WHEEL as 6000 rpms in a 1:1 gear. You are getting twice the torque at ALL engine speeds compared to a 1:1.

When you look the f80 m3 rear fenders, and compare it to that, I certainly hope it’s a pre-production car without g80 fenders.

Work this out for me.... “Gear it 2:1 and you get twice the torque at half the speed, which cancels right back out of the equation.”
