Its got around 160 000 Miles (250 000km) and the rod bearings seem ok...

Considered an Audi or two, went on the forums, gave up...

Just for the giggles, I asked my local BMW dealer how much it would cost to change the timing chain and guides... I’ve got an estimate that translates to about 5300$....

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...

Not from the opposition, but from the lawyer going after the innocent company. And defamation may not be the right word, nuisance or something similar maybe. The point being that this needs to stop, pink is not a trademark, neither are blue or red or any color for that matter.

I once had a company that face similar stupidity from a bigger one. Also over pink, also not the same shade.

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...
