The O2 sensors are too close to the exhaust and constantly fry them. In order to change the O2 sensor, you have to pull the entire engine and transmission. For a couple of services, the dealer had to fly a tech out to Germany to learn how to repair the car.

The 325 ft/lbs is typo. It actually has 201ft/lbs. The M30 engine is a SOHC design that extends back to the late 60s. Lots of torque, some high end power, lots of valvetrain noise. I built a M30b35 to produce 210hp/180tq at the rear wheels which is pretty much the max you’ll get. The head design limits power, which is…

Oppo’s own beloved Jagvar!

Well in this case it was a transcription error of newton meters instead of ft lbs. That engine isn’t making an astonishing 95lb ft of torque per liter. It’s something like 240lb ft when transcribed correctly. For reference purposes, 89lb ft per liter is the highest specific torque ever measured on a gas powered piston…

What you forget is that Alpina cars are not sports cars as such. Alpinas usually put their focus on refinement rather than outright performance, because thats what M cars are for. What Alpina does is taking a BMW shell and make a car that excels in real world driving conditions, particularly high speed traveling on…

It’s more along the lines of the torque curve of a small turbo’d car. The Focus ST has a sort of similar torque/hp disparity, and it is tons of fun because you just launch from all that torque down low. Powering out of a corner with torque like that is really where this car will shine, as opposed to winding it way…

I am thinking about canning and selling your jealousy, it’s so rich and palpable. You are doomed to fail.

Lol shut the hell up. “In almost every case, they did not.” So you know every Porsche driver and how they acquired the money to get the car? Didn’t think so, so don’t say something if you have 0 actual facts to back it up.

Exactly what are these cases? Have you any real life experiences or any sources to back that up? Can you tell me almost every single case in which this is reality?

I was picturing his fingers being crushed between the rim and brake caliper. It made me queasy.

I was waiting for that kid in the front to get his arms broken if the front wheel ever decided to turn. What the fuck was he thinking?

Yep. A Fozzy suspension will bolt right on a WRX. Problem solved.

Probably in the late 70’s. Chrome just doesnt fit with the current style of cars. Probably because the wheels are gigantic, and the body panels are relatively small. You end up with a body paint to chrome ratio thats way out of whack. Look at that caddy for instance, there’s an assload of chrome, but it is offset by…

Gizmodo: Chrome uses too much RAM.
Jalopnik: RAM uses too much chrome.

Real Chrome - a thing of beauty!

Funny, I wouldn’t expect a person whose username is “Why on earth would you ***by*** an X6” to be so nit-picky, but such is life.

I would say CarMax may be a victim of DeMuro.

BMW, so electrical issue originating with underuse of turn signals. Solved.

If its a BMW as shown above throw all logical possibilities out the window...

Let’s me know what fits and what doesn’t. My wife and I ended up buying a 2000 A8 and later a 2010 A8L due to sitting in various cars at the LA Auto Show.
