I can’t believe they’re not offering this in a proper manual for the true enthusiasts. I get it, I get it. These new-fangled automatics are so good that three pedals is simply too slow, but how else am I supposed to buy a true driver’s car once the depreciation hits? In ten years these will be going for well under 1.8…

Gotta break the velocity vector into components. V_yi=0.

There’s no reason for people to get bent out of shape about this. It’s no different than having the same B48 in a new 320i or 330i.

woosh

I try. And somebody took it.

You used affect and effect correctly, in the same sentence, no less. This might be the first time in the history of internet comment sections that this has ever happened.

I don’t doubt it. My 32s are also 17", and also on my 5er (E39 540i/6). Are you US? If so, makes me think the 320i is an E21 and those wheels and that car are just perfect.

I’m on style 32s right now. Not quite as bad, but I certainly know the feeling.

Gotta love the Alpina wheels.

If Rolls Royce makes a truck it better be powered by a Merlin.

“Do you think anyone will notice if we just put an M-sport bumper on it?”

Did you drop an “/s”? David is as millennial as they come.

Sounds perfect. I’m gonna give it a go here in a few weeks. Worst case scenario is it costs double to put it back in, right?

I’ve got ten years on you, and I want a bit more noise out of the stock system. I live on a quiet street of single family homes, and I don’t want to piss off the neighbors every time I leave the house, but I do want a nice bark when I merge or have to move quickly.

Also, did you cut out both cans at once? I’ve heard of people taking one can off at a time to see how it sounds incrementally.

brb gonna go do this real quick.

How was the muffler delete on your E39? I’ve heard the y-res delete is the first step for a cheap way to get a better tone ,and I’m looking for a better exhaust note on my 540i.

The trick to finding them is just search BMW and scroll through 50 pages of miscatigorized crap. The people who don’t know to call them e30 are the ones you want to buy from.

I won’t call you a liar, because I have no reason to not believe you. But I do kinda think that you live on that Avatar planet or Middle Earth or some other fictional place, which is awesome enough in and of itself. Especially if El-Adrel had E30s, and it was Shaka when the oil pan cracked.
