Carcarenut picks M1 over TGMO for GR Corolla

Imagine BMW sold as many cars as Toyota. We wouldn't receive our vehicles back from the repair shop until Julember 2050.

There is knlh one fact here: Toyota buys engines from BMW for a reason.

How to explain you, it is Keystone beer wanting to be 90 Schilling.

Only thing fast and furious about BMW is their CEL's. Anyway, 'nuff said here, I think we've lost our way from OP. Cheers.

Lol. Must be good CEL, bcs. Toyota buys engines from BMW.

Yep, Toyota model lineup which is very extensive uses  so many bmw engines. Yeah right. That's good for a laugh. Maybe bmw wouldn't survive without Toyota business.

I haven’t watched the whole video yet, I’m a subscriber, but in a typical 20 minute video with him, 10 minutes of it usually is filled with fluff. Initially impressions...I like the car. I like a lot of what Toyota is putting out right now (Tundra/Tacoma/Camry/Sienna). However one I really dislike/hate, is the new Venza...and the car care nut praises the look and design of it, calling it a mini-Lexus. Which I disagree with wholeheartedly.

As a BMW tech, most of time it’s operator error. Majority of people that buy them don’t maintain them properly and follow BMW’s schedule which shouldn’t be done.

I was saying that an API SP motor oil defaults to GF-6A.

I have API SP oil in the garage that isn't GF-6A. But it also doesn't say "Resource Conserving".

Again, there is only one direction here when it comes to utilizing someone’s technology.

BMW will throw CEL for anything, to tell you to check.
My Toyota didn’t warn me for burned tail light, but cop did.

GF-6 is ILSAC designation.

 

[OVERKILL]

Yes and like Martha Stewart would say "and that's a good thing"

If you like driving a toaster, sure.

Yes, there are a few. So technically... he's right.

The last year saw Toyota make a big push for hydrogen. All of the Toyota family brands are on board along with Kawasaki and Chevron. It’s a big alliance.

Hydrogen is such a disaster, its EROI is awful, but it has the potential to be (it's currently worse than methane) "green" when produced with non-emitting sources, that will consume obscene amounts of energy, so it's being pursued regardless.

Kawasaki might be thinking of trains. They already have built hydrogen ships.

There might be a different direction going on here. It’s hard to say.

Yes, we transport hydrogen already, that's not the issue, it's that it's a very poor battery and currently the supply is dominated by methane reformation, which has a far greater emissions footprint than just burning the methane directly. The stack of losses to replace gas with hydrogen is nuts, but if you hand-wave away the fact that the hydrogen was made from gas, by burning gas, then you get to pretend it's green.

They are light and handle well. But under high G turns, they starve out of oil. Not the first vehicles to have that issue, but considering that they built it for that crowd, they didn’t do basic homework.

And that crowd they built it for goes absolutely wild for a pool of oil and parts all over the pavement with a crying driver.

That is called SRE; Socially Responsible Enterprises.
VW was the posterchild for that. They put everywhere how they are helping the environment, until...

I actually got an earful after writing a peer-reviewed paper exactly on this topic of being "SRE."
