DI would be fantastic.

Except for the carbon build up on the intake valves that DI engines are notorious for.

Ford has introduced a hybrid DI/PI system that dramatically reduces or eliminates valve coking. The new 3.5EB in the GT, Raptor and F-150 uses it

That's good to hear!

The DI carbon build up issue is one reason I decided to not buy a E92 335i.

You shouldnt buy any bmws. They are unreliable, overpriced shitboxes.

A friend of mine just dumped his 2008 535XI he bought in September of last year...he shares your sentiments.

Wondering how long it'll take him to turn on his new to him 2013 Tacoma V6.

You beat me to the punch. I was going to say the same thing.

If he turns on a taco unless its for more towing capacity he is foolish.

Horrible yes, worse no. Id say nearing equal. Pretty much all german vehicles are unreliable with what seems to be the exception of 911 TT's which surprisingly arent that bad. Expensive parts, yes, but thats given.

Thats what ive heard from others. Sucks to hear bec they are great looking cars. Back in 2001 i drove a new 335 and the steering was awesome, drove great. Sucks they have gone downhill.

Dad drives an 06?(can't remember the exact year) A4 320,000km's no issues yet

I find them/VW's are such hit in miss. Some last forever while the same model can't go more than 1-2months w/o seeing a shop.

BMW's are freakin terrible. I still remember that one day seeing footprints on roof linings that came from the factory. Workers just walked right over X3/X5 roof liners boots and all!

Coming from a guy who used to be a tool&die maker, And another job inspecting part quality for all makes coming to Canada.

for the most part, i remain a bit of a sceptic with new engines or engine systems. A dual injection sounds interesting enough, it will be exciting to see if the mustang gets it and how it fares over time. I do see an advantage for tuning though.

That's a different version then what we're discussing here.
From link:
Fits: 2011-2014 Mustang GT
500+ Horsepower
5.0L - 302 cubic inches

The latest Aluminator XS version is a 5.2L.

Good call. Hooked on phonix failed me!

Wouldn't really expect it to be any less than that though.

Porsche are great cars mechanically. Electrical systems however are not as solid.

A dual injection system would be just fine. Direct Injection alone...not so much lol. I wouldn't have any issues buying a new dual injection engine from ford. They've been in the DI game for a minute, so adding PI shouldn't be of any concern.
