With one exception...the stop-sale 2015 TDIs. When diesel-gate broke in 2015, dealers that still had TDIs on the lot couldn’t sell them, so they just sat until a fix was approved by the EPA and VW implemented it. Once the lawsuit was settled, those TDIs were allowed to be sold and could be had with a $5,000 rebate…

“...the most fascinating accessory drive mechanism I’ve ever seen.”

“Braking-feel” adjustment has been present on all BMW models for quite some time, but in an automatic, not-adjustable-by-driver system. As an owner of one, I can say for certain it goes as far back as the e90, but may have been present earlier. If you are accelerating and abruptly lift off the throttle, the car will “p…

I don’t doubt that you know your car well. I merely point this issue out for others that might be reading because it’s not a fool-proof method for catching an oil change rip-off if you drive a diesel.

New oil (that’s actually been run through) in a diesel isn’t “tinted” — it’s as black as the ace of spades on a new moon night. Anybody that thinks they can tell (by sight alone) the difference between 10-mile oil vs. 10,000-mile oil out of a diesel (other than one fresh off the factory floor) is mistaken. You can do…

Dude, you drive a diesel. “Dirty oil” on the dipstick ain’t no way to tell how fresh the oil is on a diesel — new oil is gonna turn black almost immediately after running it through the engine for a few minutes.

If only the Chapparal 2J had been in existence in 1965, they could’ve just wet-vac’d the whole course.

I’ve owned one for the past couple of years. The 335d is not as unreliable as some of the replies above make it out to be. It’s certainly does not deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as the e60 M5. The motor itself is solid. BMW has been refining the design of the I6 diesel over decades, but we only got a…

Erin, thanks for posting this. Small (major?) quibble though. You write “...The International Jew, a book he complied in the 1920s out of articles written about people of the Jewish faith...”

TBH, on a scale of One-to-Gilles Villenueve, this video ranks a mild 1.5.

Not sure how the F1 could ever be devisive.

You drive a rusty, 16 year old Accord and your wife drives a Jeep Patriot. While I admire your financial maturity in owning yawn-inducing crap cans until they fall apart, driving interesting non-generic cars doesn’t seem to run in your veins.

Used Acura TSX Wagon.

Ettore Bugatti was using the engine as a stressed member in his cars as far back as the 1920's.

Get yourself an e34 M5. Buy the best example you can find. $35k will get you a fantastic one, but $20k-25k will get you a really good one with accumulated mileage that you won’t feel bad about adding to. It’s already quasi-classic and, if you take care of it, will retain good value. Hell, it might even go up in value…

Under $10k? Seats three comfortably? Room for lots o’ stuff? What you need, my friend, is a mid-90's Jag that was only driven to the beauty parlor and bingo hall by someone’s recently deceased grandmother.

The adoption of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) has been around for a long time to help reduce emissions. By recirculating exhaust gasses back into the motor, you’re giving it a second bite at the apple, so to speak, at combusting unburned fuel.

Love the CSi floor mats! Are the vise grips holding the hood latch cable?

BMW X5 diesel. Drive in comfort and style. Plenty of space for kids and their stuff. Torque for days.
