Yes! Very flexible, very even torque curve (occasionally on certain grades you’ll want to downshift). I’d say fuel economy is the biggest improvement. The biggest difference with the M54 is that you get a less baritone/bass-y sound.

In terms of what? Sound? Reliability? Early 328s (2007 builds) are reaching 200k miles now with regular maintenance.

Precisely! You can tweak the HO versions with tuning and some bolt on mods to about 280-290 horses (on a good day).

I’m noticing conspicuously BMW-like warning messages... Coincidence? I THINK NOT. But in all seriousness, if you’re going to make a guide to warning lights then it’s a Federal requirement that you use the Germans.

HNNNNGGGG indeed Ry! 60% of the reason I own my 328 is because of the sound. Pure, unfiltered straight 6.

Now you know why I have it :)

And also, there’s this (which I have equipped to my car):

Technically the N26 now.

THANK YOU! I’ve had two N52s now and both are great. Dead reliable engines with none of the trials and tribulations of the N54/N55 turbo motors.

AHEM, rear mounted air cooled HEMI V8 - Level of Weirdness = 1500

Because the Coyote doesn’t have the torque to move this hulk adequately. At the minimum you’d need a blown Coyote.

Oh my, these wheels do something for me.

We’ve owned one for the better part of 14 years and have spent time with other owners. Nobody, especially owners, believes the larger DB cars (Vanquish included) are sports cars. The V8 Vantage more recently is genuinely a sports car - stiff chassis, two seats, good suspension, and great steering. Is it the best…

It’s truly a Miatorgan Aero 8!

I’m not sure about the So-So handling as they clean up decently.

Oh dear. You Sir, saw a donked Murano CC. Now I will say that the Evoque Convertible coming next year actually looks ok (just styled normally).

Yes, because Nissan is run with a culture of fear. Carlos Ghosn runs the company like a tyrant and if he doesn’t get his way then you’re fired. The Murano CrossCabriolet was actually made because Ghosn’s wife wanted a convertible SUV - no, I’m not kidding this is what was conveyed to me by credible sources.

It’s fine, but bland. It barely looks different from a 2007 TL - from most angles.

And now for my follow up since Hardigree starred me!
