I find it hard to believe they went through all the work of launching Gazoo here in America and putting using the Supra nameplate under it. Especailly since they said a year ago that was exactly what they were doing
So you want a GT86 instead? The GT86 isnt a Supra either. Just giving a suggestion that the M240i would more closely resemble the Supra. It seems like you don't know what you want
No doubt it is concerning and ridiculous for a car to be shipped out like that. My guess is that bleeding a system with W2A intercoolers is new to the factory
I am confused on what youre saying. Where does bmw say/imply they don't want owners working on their cars?
Parts and bleeding the huge complex system are 2 different things. 2jzs will overheat if they aren't bled properly as well.
While this truly the factory's fault in this situation, checking coolant (and every other fluid) levels every so often is also part of car ownership (and every technicians...
The fix is to add coolant because the factory didnt properly bleed both reservoirs. Common annoyance on most B engines. You will probably have to top it off 1 or 2 more times and then it will be fully bleed
How much of a market can they expect on a race only version? Personally, I dont care if it has crazy performance per dollar I wouldn't own so I truly do not know what the market could be.
I dont think we should overthink where the car would be produced, if Steyr can put together M550is...
What kind of performance per dollar are we looking at here?
The caveat to trying to push the performance envelope is the law of diminishing returns is compounded when considering the production quantity for high performance vehicles.
The Nismo GTR is an absolute monster around the track but is...
Haha it sure was. I don't know where he heard any of that stuff so I had to reply. Not to mention that two of his points in his video were about tail lights and another one was "it looks like a hardtop z4." I told him I would give him $100 to show me a MKIV with a $60,000 sticker price and I...
The M340i achieves a 4.2 0-60 in their XDrive model, they havent release a time for the RWD yet so I am assuming it is slower like Z4 ( ~4.4s).
But gearing plays a huge role in this as well. The ZF 8 Speed is used in a great deal of their cars so they are able to play around with gearing and...
The brakes we have seen appear to be the brakes from M550i's and the differential is an Msport diff as seen in the vin decoders so they are 100% in the BMW part system.
These diagrams were never meant to be published so they are not only incomplete, but many many months old. My guess is the...
The 2jzge and gte heads flows better. But I have yet to see a flow test involving the head and intake manifolds though as the 1jz has short runners and 2jzs have long runners
