I was in traffic the other day with a newer GMC truck that had start/stop and also had a loud exhaust. I like a decent sounding exhaust, but hearing this guy's truck shut off and restart at every stop light became annoying pretty quickly.

Beautiful E46 you have. After driving my friend's 2004 E46 330i ZHP with the 6 speed I think that is the next vehicle on my list to find. You can't drive it on a back road and not smile.

The best small engine oil is one that is kept full and changed frequently. I've spoken before about my customer who runs a commercial lawn mowing company and runs 5w20 synthetic in all his machines, claiming better fuel economy. He also watches the oil level like a hawk, and is meticulous...

+1 I've seen this a few times. Person dumps a bunch of money into a car thinking they will keep it because it has sentimental value or they want it right, but unfortunately have to sell it due to health issues or other life obstacles. People who pay that much money for a shop to do it usually...

Have you checked the voltage with the jeep running to verify the alternator is charging?

The glue getting into the valve train helps quiet the start-up rattle. ;)

I would bet that with all their exterior "mods" they cheaped out on the suspension and driveline stuff and that drives like garbage. Rough Country anything is usually a bad sign. :LOL:

I experienced that road in 2019 in my 2009 BMW 328i with some sticky summer tires on it. Still one of my most fun road trips. It was in June, so a beautiful time of year as well. I hit Tail of the Dragon while I was there. That entire area is worth a trip if anyone is thinking of going...

I wonder if the way the drain tube is installed it doesn't allow all the oil to drain. I have seen this quite a few times on mowers and lawn tractors. It's really a pet peeve of mine the way manufacturers see maintenance as an afterthought. It also seems way more common on homeowner grade...

I don't donate to any charities anymore, too many of them are scams and what you donate rarely makes it to the cause you are trying to support. There are plenty of people in my circle that I help instead when I can.

Yeah I've tried that, the problem is the rocky ground here in New England. All it takes is a small rock and the tiller is trying to launch you across the yard.

That thing looks like hitting a small hole in the yard would turn it into a pretzel.

Agreed. I ran a front tine tiller ONCE. I think my back was screwed up for a week haha. Now I'm fortunate enough to have a Kubota and a 60" rear tiller I bought used and fixed up. I do my garden, a friend's, my father's, and my grandfather's.

I loved my E90 and driving my friend's 4-door E46 330i ZHP. Nothing like a fun day of mountain driving then stopping somewhere and being able to throw stuff in the back seat.

Nice choice, keep up with the maintenance and it will serve you well.

Oh I agree, I'm just not sure their angle. 1000 hp track car? 1000 hp street monster? I don't think I'd want to be driving with someone who had 1000 hp on a twisty mountain road especially the buyers of this specific vehicle. A tuned 335i was plenty of power on the mountain roads I took it on.

Their engineers are also probably the reason their sales are hurting. EV is better performance numbers of course, but the popularity of certain cars shows that there is more to driving enthusiasm than numbers. Like a poster above stated, how much HP is enough when you can't even use it on the...

I wonder how much it will weigh, I didn't see that in the article. I thought my E90 ate tires, I'm sure this thing would put it to shame haha.

Hey at least maybe the electric one won't need the rod bearings replaced. :LOL: Beautiful E92 though. I do think the electric one has its place, but will appeal to mostly different buyers than the gas M3 does. When I think M3 I think E36, E46, E90 and F80 with a manual transmission and high...

I no longer even consider Amazon for oil filter purchases. The pricing is all over the map. I've seen Purolator Tech filters for $2, and then Purolator tech filters for $18. I'm sure it is the fact that some are Amazon listings and others are vendors selling on Amazon. Also, the last 10...
