I got that a lot in my 135i as well. “Nice 1 series... I have a 328/335/basemodel3series!” My 135i would run circles around your 335i with bolt ons and was more fun to drive.

They are starting to sell all of their engines this way now. They just posted a new LT1 out of a 2017 Camaro ss on their FB page.

Well this picture just sold me on it. Its like a Pantera with cooler opening doors!

They are a wasted spark system too, I wonder if that has an affect on the noise as well. Id assume so.

Tomacco!

I need a bigger garage. 3 cars in the garage, 3 outside. But soo many people in my neighborhood just have crap in their garage and no cars or a 3 car garage with only enough space for one car.

Now we need to figure out why all the Scions have the license plate light broken! I figured it was because people pulled up on them to open the hatch/trunk.

When I was in, we would send the newbies to get keys to the jammer (combat start) to all the different shops. Each shop would then send him to the next shop and finally back to the original shop where someone would show the newbie how to start the jammer. I remember one time we gave a newbie a box labeled PE PSI with…

There was a Marriot hotel that had Cinnamon Waffles every couple of days. My god, they were delicious! The make our own waffles is a godsend for hotels.

I had Horse Burgers a few times in Slovenia. It is delicious! Im sure a horse steak would be better.

What ITB set up is that? Id love to swap an LS with ITBs into my 64 nova

I got that when I bought my used 2011 135i. All my coworkers said “must be nice!” or” we pay you too much to be able to afford that!” Yeah it is nice, that instead of having kids and getting married right out of high school, I saved my money and bought something I wanted. Also, it was less than $30k, your new dodge…

Next day: My neighbor said he will sell it to you because youre a “car guy” he wants $20K for it. that’s a good deal because its a classic right?

My car is what got me my wife. I had my Talon TSi and she had an Eclipse (RS) with a turbo kit. She hit on me and thought it was cool that we had similar cars. Just last year, we both pulled the motor out of her WRX (it was her dream car for a long time) to rebuild it because Subarus... The women are out there but…

I often wonder what car I would drive and what my life would be like if I wasn’t into cars. Would I be one of those die hard football fans? Would I drive a 1990s Honda? Would I have soo much money (because I didn’t spend it on cars), that Id have a hooker and blow “problem”? Would I change my name to…

I hate explaining my cars to nonenthusiasts. I seem to buy odd ball cars that no one understands. Them: “what kind of car do you drive?” Me: I have a 96 Eagle Talon TSi AWD. Them: “oh....” Me: But its turbo and awd and I have a big turbo, its the same as an Eclipse. Them: “My sister has an eclipse...” Scenario 2:…

I had a 2011 135i. From what I read, the alternator needs to know the battery is new. The alternator is controlled by the ECU. The ECU needs to know the battery is new to tell the alternator. As the battery gets older, the alternator increases voltage and frequency that is cycles on and off to keep the battery…

I got another one: My first turbo car was a 90 Talon TSi FWD. I put a boost controller, exhaust, and intake on it. It was fun. Anyway, I bought it from a co worker. Every time his friend saw me, he would tell me I paid too much for the car and that the turbo was blown (the turbo didn’t smoke, built boost fine, and…

My Blazer was in the shop getting the AC recharged. I was walking back to the shop from a friends house and an old acquaintance yelled “Nice car asshole!” while sitting at line at a stop sign... He then smashed the gas rearending the car in front of him. Oh it was his moms buick, not even his. I drove by 10 mins later…

Having a cheap, fast, AND reliable car. Or being able to have a car that is great on the track and great as a daily driver.
