I mean, the bore in my 302 is 4" x 3.5", or 4.000 x 3.500. That’s just how American shit was measured back then.

NO AMOUNT OF PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE IS TOO MUCH

NON-WHITES WILL RUIN THIS ESSENTIAL POLISH STORY!!!

Does Sybil count?

“as BSA becomes more progressive, as demonstrated by their recent decision to allow girls and transgender kids as members.”

Nothing says “world-class compact luxury sedan” quite like having a terrible gauge cluster for the driver to look at all the damn time.Good riddance.

It’s definitely you, and it appears you have found the exact reason why I prefer my old engine to my new engine. You’re a fucking genius. Does DARPA know that you spend all your time fucking around on the internet? I’m sure they’d have some work for someone as smart and observant as yourself.

You’re like a child that wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know the plot. You have no frame of reference for your input into a conversation that didn’t need any of your input in the first place.

I didn’t say I had any. Both straight-6 engined vehicles I’ve own have had oodles of torque at low RPM compared to the NA 2.5L Skyactiv.

Damn.

well, shit.

Eh. I’m only 6 months off.

‘02 330Ci, auto. 204,XXX miles. I listed it at $2,500 (all the other CL E46 coupes were sitting at $3,000). Inspection found about $700 of repairs needed, and I unloaded it for $2,100 cash. I could have gotten more I’m sure, but it was either hold out for more money longer, or sell it now for less. Plus the guy bought…

...literally sold my 330Ci a couple weeks ago after I got my 6. Weird. You know exactly the withdrawal I’m going through.

I really need more low-end torque in this thing. Coming from two straight-6 engines to this one is a big step down in power delivery.

From experience, the 2.5L Skyactive is a gutless wonder. You don’t get any real usable power until almost 3,000RPM.

Well yeah.

I run regular, mang.

Besides 40HP, am I missing out on anything from my 2017.5 6 manual?
