The F10 LCI 528i has an N20B20 turbo I4.

Those journal holes (what’s the right word here?) look huge compared to the bore!

Stop Making Sense, you say?

You can do an ///M Trackday for $250 (IIRC). It’s a steal if it’s at your local track.

Buy first class, premium, emergency exit, or bulkhead seats. Easy. I’m tall enough that I don’t fly if I can’t afford the room. This cuts down on both travel-related stress and unnecessary trips.

I think that’s half a dozen kip-furlongs per acre-fortnight squared.

I agree with you 100%. I used to shit on drifters, but whatever. It’s a sport in a car with a motor. That’s motorsport to me.

I didn’t know that at all. That’s really neat, so thank you.

I came to post about how I’m not really into drifting as a sport, but that good drifters are fucked up good at car control.

It’s generally a more complicated procedure. For example, to change the a timing chain on an Audi B6 S4, you first remove the engine.

While timing chains can stretch, often timing chain guide failure is what turns an engine into a boat anchor. This happens for myriad reasons. The timing chain guides on an M62 V8, for example, tend to fail because the engineers at BMW chose to construct them out of bread.

If there’s anything BMW does well, it’s blue. I think that’s Mediterranean Blue. It’s worth noting, I think I remember hearing that they brought back Carbon Black as a standard color for this gen, and Carbon Black is fucking awesome.

Still not as much fun as an E36.

I drove a G10 M550i last fall (n=1). It’s absolutely no slouch, but it does not hide its weight well. Either way, I’m with you, but I’m of the opinion that the Platonic Ideal of BMW is an E39 M5. And I’m also looking for an E28 535is.

You’d think that with the Nguema family’s history in politics, maybe pursuing another line of work might sound like a good idea.

Goddammit. That wasn’t for you. Apologies.

Which day did your Creator decide to make Asians super creative?

Counterpoint.

Damn. That’s way better than mine. I had a fair bit of redneck in my upbringing, but apparently not enough to think of that.

Is the second derivative of distance with respect to time known as ‘pickup?’
