The echo chamber of Doug DeMuro’s fanboys in the comments is so unbearable these days. No wonder you picked the first comment for COTD. I can’t get much further than that either.

Stupid. Just stupid.

Excavator be like:

Could we have an actual discussion, maybe? Wouldn’t it be more helpful to explain to people who might not understand how this is not an appropriate way to draw attention to a worthy topic? Instead of mocking and condemning dogmatically, could we explore the ways that this cause could be better served, and educate one…

She needs to raise awareness for African wildlife next!

I had an E90 as well, 18 months, same verdict. I’ve read the same opinion from other owners, but you’ve said it the best thus far.

Er, in real-world, non-galactic soap-opera examples, the Third Reich came to power only 16 years after the German/Prussian Military machine was destroyed by WWI and went on to commit all the highly technological atrocities they did. During the ‘20s, the Germans were so broke due to reparations and the currency so…

The Vanos and Oil pump are what scare me. I hear one of the 4 oil pumps are notorious. The SMG is what has made me broke.

I currently have an E60 with the S85. I agree, the S65/85 are legendary, but not without their share of problems. While I’ve had no engine troubles, just transmission problems, the S85 scares the hell out of me, in regards to long term reliability.

I was shocked to discover how low the torque output was on the S65 was, and it left me wondering if that would put a damper on the fun.

I have a 2011 e92 comp package. It’s up there with my S2000 as the best driver’s car I’ve ever owned. Downside it does feel heavy and the interior even with the carbon trim feels insubstantial compared to the A4 I had before. Oh yeah and the cops in CT and NY like to pull you over. Still, it looks the nuts and I still…

I owned an e90 m3 for 7 years too. i agree on the weight and low torque but never had a problem enjoying it as a daily driver. i racked up 55kmi on its before trading it in and loved every mile of it. did i shift less often because the low end torque sucked and hearing that v8 (with an aftermarket exhaust) at high rpm…

I have a ‘11 e93 (convertible) that I’ve had for about 9 months. And I can relate. It is heavy. You feel it least when you’re on winding roads, when the job of entertainment is shared fairly evenly between engine and suspension. Accelerating from 50 to 80 to pass whoever it is that is doing 50 on I-5 is still a joy.…

You lost what little (very little) credibility you had with this post.

Nitromethane-methanol-oil mix engine just doesn’t have the same ring to it huh? They actually do make gasoline engines for rc cars, but this is not one of them.

I’m Ron Burgandy?

Time to put this one down.

My all time favorite “ I would have never guessed they were in the military” is Sorrell booke.

I’m thankful that the Porsche bean-counters finally lost the battle and the engineers were allowed to create the GT4 Cayman.

Don’t forget, Roadhouse car.
