I snipped this from Bloomberg. Perhaps it has been posted here earlier. But if this gets any traction we could all lose that spirited driving we love.
Excessive speed is a factor in over 12,000 annual deaths in the US, or roughly a third of all automobile crash fatalities. Speeding surged...
FWIW
When I bought my PP1 replica wheels I was advised to upgrade to Gorrilla lug nuts. The stock lugs are plated chrome over cheap cast alloy, they can deform if lugs are too tight upon removal. An improperly seated 12 pt socket can strip before loosing, leaving a problem. Six point quality...
Yea, I learned that lesson the hard way. Put after market cheapo TPMS into new tires and wheels. They all went bad. First the front two. The car was under warrenty and dealer did not recognized the non oem's so there was NC. A few months later (warrenty expired) and right after a run up to the...
Our daily, the wife's car. These BMW X4M40I's are nice cars. The 3.0 TT dual clutch 8spd. shifts perfectly, and I love the manual gear shifter's. The console slap shifter changes gears immediately upon movement. A light push forward engages each downshift, a light pull back for each upshift...
2019 GT Prem. A10 20k mi. runs, sounds, drives perfect. Only issue was once the key fob was not recognized by the ignition, thus leaving me bewildered on what to do as I was trying to leave a gas station. Not sure what the problem was but after a few minutes of head scratching and reading the...
I have a set of Hooker Header Gaskets, and collector unused still in wraps for a 2 bolt 429/460. It was a spare set I bought with the headers back in 1988. I don't need them, free.
Nope, sounds like a high compression engine. I think many mistake the sound for metal to metal abrasions which is not the case. Optimum performance has this engine tuned to run nearly lean with variable spark advance bordering pre-ignition level. I wish all that don't understand, or simply...
The X4 and X6 M series are pretty cool in that they offer 8 " ground clearance, independent. AWD, electronic suspension, off road monitor. We use ours for traveling the back roads off highway. The motor and trans. compliment the sports activity coupe concept. Pretty quick off the line too with a...
Picked up this BMW X4M40i for the wife and I. 355hp twin screw turbo, 8spd. Has the M- suspension and exhaust system really nice features and power delivery.
My car is under covers and put away for the winter. You might get a good idea of what the interior looks like by using the Ford build and price website. The MY 21 only offers "Ceramic". I see the 2.3 gets a full seat cover in cloth, where as the GT only gets the bottoms and backs covered in...
I went through the same thing. Decided time wasn't a big factor and I really wanted New so ordered what I wanted. Good thing time was not an issue because it took 6mos. for delivery.
I have driven with the Magnaride and IMO it wasn't that great of an improvement as it relates to a smooth softer...
Tom that car should be pulling strong at 80-85. WOT at those speeds should have that car's engine screaming/shifting hard pushing you back into seat holding on till 140mph. Mine does. I use nothing but 93 octane but it shouldn't matter much.
Have you tried Sport or Track mode?
