That was how everyone was doing it at the time.

Yo dog, I heard you like smoke...

Anybody else?

I've got a 2006 X3 3.0i. It's a blast. It's exactly like my sport package e90, except I can and have hooned it through the mud, sand, fields, etc.

But they do...

So this is Gran Turismo 5S?

I think you have the terms "turbo lag," and "boost threshold" confused.

It's european, and many cars in this price range and segment have similar power levels.

Until you price them. And drive them.

Wrong. Part numbers between engines are different. They use same basic structures, sure, but as price decreases, the cost of the parts decrease. Take the 328/320 for example. Same basic structure, but rod and piston part numbers are different because it runs much lower cylinder pressures (less boost) and doesn't need…

Because the 130/330 had a higher-output version of the N52 vs the non-HO N52 in the 128/328. Very similar to the 323/328 of the past.

And for the record, because I want this settled once and for all, BMW has been using higher-than-displacement numbers since the e23 745i. It used a 3.2 and later a 3.4 liter turbocharged…

I bet that's what you would have done.

Hey-O!

I was referring to Nissan USA's history, which is quite separate from Japan's Nissan. They're practically separate companies.

But... The Nissan Frontier is an American pickup.

The e32/e38 750iL. . . Best cars ever never offered with a manual transmission.

BMW is working on a FWD chassis for the new 1ers and MINIs to share. The Current 1er as we know it will be come the 2.
