Those coolant pipes are one of the reasons I went with a 4.6is X5 rather than a cayenne...

I already have the pelican parts complete kit so I’m not running after any pieces when the time comes... I did the PCV and cyclone a month ago and hated every minute of it...

Let’s not call the M62 the best evolution, I drive an M62TUB46 daily and even though the cylinder walls are safe, I have to live with the fact that someday it’ll start rattling and that will mean I have to change the timing chain because BMW put plastic guides that eat themselves just for the fun of it.

YES, but...

Here in europe, the 1.5 is the diesel engine...

One of those taxi is now (or at least was a few years back) part of a restaurant in Beauduc, a beach in the south of France.

start learning not to use automated car wash because they will break the rear window.

Except it seems its not domino’s who has an issue but a franchise owner... And franchise owners do not own the trademark...

Since when is a Model S the equivalent of an S-Class/7series/A8?

My GF recently made the argument to me that if the state’s were honnest about alcohol and driving, the limit would be 0.0000. They might just give you a fine for one drink before more serious sanctions but the limit should be 0.

Don’t your gas stations on the highway sell chains or socks (textile chains)?

Thank you for your congratulations, maybe driving a jeep makes regular speed limits interesting but any modern car is a boredom vessel at those speeds... I’m not talking autobahn speeds but reasonable speed limits.

Maybe ridiculous speed limits put everyone to sleep... Maybe looking for speed cameras, hidden cop cars tires people... But lets say its just our fault once again...

Natural selection working on a way to rid us of idiots... Still some refining (cliffs) needed but its a start.

Great experience today, went to a part store, I needed battery connections and gearbox oil, they were ready to sell me the battery conections by 50 pack only and the oil by the barrel...

How long will it take before this is called child abuse? 5 years? 10 years?

I’ve been lucky with mine, regular oil top off and I think the automatic helped, not being free revved so much and smoother gear changes, especially when cold where you barely get to 3k rpms in the city.

Timing chain engine on the N14 engine, the tensionner was weak and the chain ate the guides and then would untime itself and could kill the engine...

Bought an MCSC automatic with 30 000km on it, no noise from the timing chain, sold it at 70 000km, only had occasional startup noise, changed the tensionner 3 times (every year) and ran it with 5W30.

Had one of those engines, not ideal would be the nicest thing I can say...
