No hostility, I am not as up to snuff on BMW AWD and had always misunderstood that the iX models graduated into xDrive versus a long gap and radical redesign of the system in the ‘00's. simple oversight.

I see youre a rather large BMW fan, and I have no beef with that, never did if you actually read my initial post. Take a step back and breathe and I’ll explain the versions of Torsen to you. Historically, the 1984-1990 audis had open and lockable front, center, and/or rear diffs. Generation 1 Torsen was introduced in…

What I’ve learned from Quattro: when in doubt, go flat out. Oh, and their stability control programs are horrendous.

Ultra Quattro... called such because the market focus groups taught Audi thatnobody would buy “Shadow Of Its Former Glory” Quattro.

Are you trolling? Because everything I said was accurate, and you are the one who is mistaken about the use of viscous couplings. Do a little research and educate yourself, I’ve been fixing VWs and Audis for the past decade, I know what I am talking about.

So much wrong here... Torsen is not viscous coupling...its a helical gear differential. And its the same 60/40 split as Xdrive. Xdrive is viscous coupling and only recently became e-viscous. The most notable advantages to the helical diff is it is always working and theoretically never wears out as there’s no friction…

Blatant product placement. I also love that this is a crisis revolving around two movies I had never heard of until now. I see you’ve broken into Torch’s stash of happy dust. And We are all better off because of it.

It was proposed as a moving violation here, with points on insurance and everything. Basically another way for cops to pull you over for no real reason and cost you a comparatively insane amount of money through insurance surcharges. The state senate dropped the points, and its now just a $5 fine. Still $5 too much in…

MA tried this for a couple of months and the pushback against it was so high that they just dropped it. Overbearing mandates even have a limit in the DPRMA

Not always true. I know its now 10 year old tech by now, but my Audi’s bixenon headlights share the same guts as their halogen counterparts, they put a 10w bulb in place of the old high beam as a DRL since the HID projector does double duty as high and low beams.

The only proper response to this:

No, that’s just one very lucky cockroach to carry that moniker.

I approve this message.

This has to be up there. Not outright useless, but GARISHLY HORRIBLY AWESOMELY TERRIBLY WEIRDLY GOOD-I MEAN POINTLESS! I mean... look at the gatling guns...

I never watched the Evans TG... didnt seem worth the time torrenting it.

You shot for the moon, and landed among 32 stars.

My OSHA 10, 30, and 40 hour Hazwoper certified staff would probably disagree with you there...OSHA sets the training standards, and I cannot hire employees on many, many projects without completion of these certifications first.

“almost half a decade”... Thats your problem right there. You expect paradigm shifts every couple of years.
