Carcarenut picks M1 over TGMO for GR Corolla

How you mean does anything works better? Of course it does. You are still getting Subaru engine prone to oil starvation, they had QC issues that Toyota refused to address.
If you want track animal, buy used BMW for that money.

Corolla is interesting proposition, but I am not expecting much. Toyota is constantly using other companies to provide performance solutions. I am not holding my breath that suddenly they had revelation.

They could dump the same motor, but
a) Cost would weird
b) That engine, with all its flaws is the perfect power plant for that platform. Anything higher in output, and literally this becomes a Japanese Mustang that will slide into the curb every opportunity and basically falls in the background over its competitors.

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

Haha. Most BMW new owners dont really care. The real BMW or any luxury car owner usually will upgrade upon lease end (majority of most luxury sales including Lexus).

What fire hazard? They had issue with CCV. It is nothing unheard of.
4cyl was one generation issue with timing chain and even that was resolved after 2 yrs. B48 is arguably best 4cyl turbo today in tight competition with that Mercedes 2.0ltr.
V8 is different story. Too much emphasis on performance.

In 2022, an inquest into the fatal accident heard that a faulty crankshaft bearing had punctured the engine oil sump, which released oil onto the road and caused a fire in the engine compartment. The inquest also heard that BMW was first made aware of the fault with the N57 engine in 2016 and that there had been at least five similar incidents since 2014.

The issue stems from diesel-fueled cars equipped with an Exhaust Gas Recirculation module featuring a built-in cooler. The problematic EGR poses a risk as it can leak glycol internally, thus combining the coolant with the soot from the diesel engine which could potentially lead to smoldering particles. It would consequently melt the intake manifold and cause a fire in a worst-case scenario.

No fewer than five models are affected by the recall, as follows: 328d (2013-2018MY), 535d (2014-2016MY), 740Ld (2015MY), X3 (2015-2017MY), and the X5 (2014-2017MY). These diesel BMWs are powered by either the four-cylinder N47 or the larger six-cylinder N57 engines. Affected owners will be notified by mail, with letters to be sent out by January 12, 2022.

Why is BMW buying Toyota Hydrogen tech?

The bottle had a green label on it, it looked like a non current bottle of AFE which i'm not even sure they are still making.

Found another Dyno pull,



Is the GR Yaris the same motor? I like the car better:

Sorry, I was thinking EGR, not CCV. Yeah, recall end? At least it didn’t die completely like wastage in Toyota after 300-500 miles.
BMW is not buying hydrogen. Hydrogen is absolutely ridiculous proposition. Check what I said about SRE.

Sorry BMW has Toyota beat on this one with where a longer then recommended oil change interval resulted in the loss of life.

What kind of failure mechanism is this exactly?

Easy now Captain Broad Brush, we can discuss that subject and acknowledge the studies done on it and the different points where some of this becomes important, while not unilaterally labelling everybody who participates in those discussions as lubrication luddites who refuse to "jive step" with the new wave noodle mistress cuz she doesn't have the curves and cushion.

So we all agree thighs and butts count then? I prefer some cushion probably more so than naught the older I get.

What do skinny oils do? Not a dam thing.

Dang, are you psychic, as I was looking for those supercharged accusumped disintegrating GR Corollas you spoke of.

Nice which BMW, I'm guessing M340i or 1 M?
