true fact. for porche yes i can accept that.but for bmw why? porshe and bmw its not the same thing. i can accept that for a porche but for bmws ,the company here in europe has lower cc engines. from 1500 cc. isn't a bmw 1600cc engine a daily car? yes..then why they fail? if you remember bmw models from the '90s were still runnig with 1600 cc here in europe ,driven by average drivers and they had no problems..E46 is one of the most selling models here in europe. not many huge problems.just like any other daily car.and it was produced untill 2004.1600cc is for average drivers,if i am not wrong..1600cc is for better level drivers? isn't a 1600 cc a daliy intown family car too?Big picture and in general, wasn't it recently established in another thread that thin oil is acceptable for grocery shopping, average Joe, typical daily and low(er) RPM driving ... or for example going to a cafe for refreshments!
BMW or Porsche and low RPMs somehow don't go together ... granted I see a lot of "average" drivers driving one.
so a merc or an audi are daily cars but bmw is not? don't merc go for low rpms too?audi has 1000cc engine to their base..merc has 1300cc models.are these models for an advanced drivers? i doubt.is a X1 or X2 a sports car? or a car to carry your family safe from one point to another? this myth that bmw is for lowrpms is a fact for older models ONLY. a today SUV is not a sports car its a family daily car not a 2002 model.even though i am sure that a 2002 models ould be a good daily car too.a friend of mine has one for intown commute.and has no problems.
.bmw designed some engines that for the last 20 years failed..some E8X,E9X, and F4Χ engines were band designed.so its not just the low rpms ,but failed engines too.
if you go to a bmw shop in europe and you say you want to buy a regular bmw 1600,1500 cc for your daily use ,your average level, does the saler tells you ,sir bmw is not for average drivers ,its not for low rpms? BIG NO.
