So my question is, how hard is it to replace a NOx sensor or worst case scenario a transfercase on a F30 328D? Will doing the alphabet delete make the car more in the long run?Just note that a lot of the items people are staying need replacing early in ownership aren unique to diesels. The transfer case, for one, is a weak point on all F30s. I wouldn get an AWD 3 series because of it and they did sell plenty of RWD 328d F30s.

I think AC 카지노사이트 only is fine, but for me, the i3 isn a primary car it our commuter/secondary car. if lots of miles need to be driven, we drive something else/use different transportation. stopping every hour for 30 minutes would be a shitty experience (and you would have to know the stations exist).

“Emphasising driver orientation geometry means we have clustered the instruments to enhance focus. BMWs are for people who appreciate the feel of a car on the road, the whole actual motoring experience. With this new BMW Concept 8 Series the joy of driving is first and foremost.”Data and surveys inform what we want from our cars now, but they cannot shape and create. Starke’s team studies other designers from outside the automotive world. “Artists are more avant garde,” she thinks, “they see and feel things before others do. I have always been fascinated by both art and design, and my team’s work here brings those two professions together.”

The Six Speed TransmissionThe transmission on my Fit is very smooth, and easy to manage, even in city stop and go traffic. (The transmission, with its limited slip differential, is also very easy to drive on hills in stop go traffic, because it does not roll backwards, as manual transmission vehicles without the limited slip will do.)

Jack got up from her bench and turned away from the railing and the view of the city below. She began scanning the crowd, throwing the ever present interface panel behind her like an over the shoulder camera. She immediately spotted a player not even 100 feet away on another bench, basking in the sun.

I was informed by the dealer, that due to some changes Audi made in the brake materials, squeaking was normal. It was such a common complaint, I was even given a pre printed pamphlet all about “brake noise”. I was relieved that nothing was wrong with my brakes, but the squeaking can be very annoying.

7. Caterham Super 7 R400Caterham is known around the world for their Lotus 7 replica. In fact, it’s not really a replica. It’s more of a continuation of the original design. It has, of course, been upgraded and developed over the years, and this, the R400 Superlight is the best of the build it yourself kits.

Since 2003, Alpinas have been put together on specialproduction lines at BMW’s Munich, Dingolfing and Regensburg plants in Germany and its Spartanburg factory in the US, with every model being sent to Alpina’s headquarters in Buchloe for the finishing touches to be applied. Around 250 employees work at the Buchloe HQ where Alpina has been based since 1970 and it is from there that the Alpina components are shipped to the BMW assembly lines. It is at Buchloe, too,that modelling and prototyping are carried out, engine and gearbox upgrades are designed, specialised parts are made and the in house saddlery workshop produces the cars’ superb hand stitched interiors usingflawless Lavalina leathers.

I really am not a vain person. I’m not into status symbols just for the sake of looking like something I’m not. I don’t know fashion and I don’t go to all the hip clubs. But I do appreciate quality, and when I am blessed to be able to buy nice things for myself, then I feel I should have them. My Beemer has been one of those things.

Less Room to Swing a CatThe power unit was to have been a cutting edge rotary Wankel engine purchased from General Motors. The car was designed around that engine. Unfortunately GM withdrew, as the Wankel was proving neither reliable nor fuel efficient, and in the wake of the 1974 Arab oil embargo this was now an issue. The engine also produced high amounts of N0x gasses that would not comply with the new emissions regulations. straight six under the hood. It was a tight fit but they squeezed it in. This change compromised the interior space and effectively rendered it a four seater as it necessitated the use of a drive tunnel to get the power to the rear wheels which took up space in the rear seating area. The Wankel which would have been front wheel drive would have needed no such tunnel. The car was still roomy but not as roomy as it might have been.

That includes the price of tires and other consumables, which I have said several times I did not include because those are common. But if you want to do a mile per mile comparison of cost of a model 3 TCO go for it. If you take into account EVERYTHING I have done to the car, I am around $2500. That with Tires, coolant replacement, cabin air filters, brake fluid change, and I sure some other things I forgotten. No major “omg this maintenance is so expensive!” items. Hell the tires on our 3 will likely cost 2x what we paid to re tire our Prius, and will probably need to be done twice as often.

I had something similar happen. I hadn driven my rex in about a week. Then it was dead. Nothing worked, couldn unlock the car. All electrical was out.Because I knew it was the 12 volt battery, I took the battery out. Took it to BMW dealership and requested a new one.

Be patient. Good negotiations won end in a day or two. I manage to net thousands off the “discounted” (right. not) Internet price simply by knowing my options, reasonable prices, and remaining polite (but firm). And this is all without angering the salesperson either. Don make life miserable for salespeople. It okay to play hard ball; it not okay to be an aggressive and unreasonable asshole. There is a difference.

The summit looks good, but most people are overhyping it a lot. BMW for instance mentions on stage that their proof of concept was succesful, but the future will be long and complicated as Germans (BMW) are very skeptical of new technologies. The concept looks great, but it is not much different from many prototypes on other chains.

When he was a boy he made a mannequin and kept it inside a special case. Then he found a stone, and painted each half a different color, and added that to his case. He would write messages in his own secret language, and add those as well. He later said this felt like a ceremonial act, but at the time of his boyhood, it gave him a feeling of peace and serenity. When he got older, he realized that people in some civilizations kept totems, or soul stones, and celebrated these unconscious rituals in the same way he did with his items as a boy. His studies on psychological archetypes and the collective unconscious were inspired by these boyhood experiences.

Same thing happened to Nissan when they introduced the GT R. The GT R had to prove itself on track. and it did. Now sure, the vast majority of GT R owners go for straight line stuff. But anyone with track experience will know that a GT R in decent hands on a track will 100% walk the talk. Does everyone like the GT R? Obviously not. But it lives up to its marketing.

The first generation Miata was first sold in 1989 with a 1.6 L I4 that made 115 hp. For the 1994 model year, Mazda upgraded the Miata’s engine to a 1.8 L making 131 hp. Like the MR 2, the Miata makes do with less horsepower because it is very lightweight with good weight balance and rear wheel drive. A limited slip differential was offered as an optional extra with manual transmission cars (an automatic transmission was offered, but proved unpopular). There wasn’t much in the way of luxury, especially in the first few years of production. Air conditioning, stereo, power steering, and alloy wheels were all absent from the base model in 1989 in order to lower the entry price, although features such as these became standard later on. A first generation (1989 1998) Miata will run you $1,500 $8,000, with price varying based on age, mileage, and condition.

Want to read your engine fault codes on your own? Most modern cars have Engine Control Unit (ECU) computers that monitor engine functioning, and you can connect to the computer through a standardized port called an OBD II (OBD2) port. First, determine if your car has an ODB II port, get a OBD II reader, connect to your car and you can read any fault codes to find out what the ECU is reporting. You can easily Google those codes with your car make/model/year and find out more information about what other’s may have reported as the likely fix for the problem.

Here is the interesting part I have paid $21000 for a car and another $18000 for repairs, insurance, maintenance, registration etc. I am quite blown away by this number. Is this normal for a car? Or can I chalk this up to the joys of owning a German car?

I don know what your budge looks like but if you own a raptor I image you like some power. I have the Performance Model 3 and it is the fastest car I have ever own and I have fixed up a lot of cars. The performance model comes with Michelin pilot sports 4s tires and they are needed that car is a freakin rocket even in the turns. That car is not a one trick pony, it is a full blown track ready car but can also drive like a normal family sedan without sacrifice. The fully self driving is not out yet but there are already features exclusive to having purchased it. Autopilot has been getting noticeable updates about every week or two. This car is absolutely outrageous how amazing it is. I went all out upgrading it and have no regrets. Let me know if you have any questions.

See, that’s what gotten under my skin so darned bad. My panties (I actually wear Made in the USA Fruit of the Looms) are really in a terrible bunch because we’re at this place that we’ve gotten to where everyone at the bottom is simply an underachiever and should simply be someone thankful that a few scraps fall his way now and again thanks to all of the genious, and hard work of the guys at the top who, according to all accounts, are the ones who really make it all happen.

And that really what it comes down to for me. And this is just my opinion. The Model 3P is a lot like an Audi RS car. It exceptionally quick and genuinely very responsive when you hustle it, but it feels very clinical. You know it the electronics getting you around that track. Great sports sedans like the Giulia, M3, and even to a lesser extent the C43, allow roads and tracks to unfurl like a ribbon before you. The car gracefully dances from one corner to the next. The Model 3P never feels like that. It takes a brute force approach. It highly effective, but a bit one dimensional.

Luxury cars just don have the appeal to us that they used to. I don need the shit I thought I used to need, and I don even really want it. Seems like the cost is exponentially higher for a moderate amount of luxury features. There just isn any value there, but I guess that really isn their goal either.But thank you, and noted.

Nearly all my neighbours are farmers and their children have been driving quad bikes, cars and tractors from about 10 years old mainly on private land.I’ve been driving and motorcycling since about 14 and the passion has never left me. For a long time I was the type that if you told me no, I’d want yes more often than not.I understand the comment about an emergency and hero, but while a 12 year old may be able to operate a car, surely they can have little or no knowledge of the rules of the road or other drivers or road conditions.

Interiors are highly subjective, but to me the M235/240 feels two price classes lower than the C. All the plastics are cheap and little effort was put into presentation. It has a great driving position and a surprising amount of room, though. The Benz is a luxury car through and through. You can find cheap trim bits here and there, but the overall attention to detail and use of colors/textures/materials can shame some cars near the 6 figure mark.

They told me that I can install it with the seatbelt method and I just wouldn’t use the base. Apparently it’s just as safe but I’m not sure how comfortable I feel with that. I’m just disappointed because we did a lot of research before deciding on this seat and now I don’t know whether to just send it back.

If you’re a motoring hooligan hell bent on grabbing the ring by the scruff of its neck and showing it who’s boss, this course is probably not for you. But if you are smart enough to know that this is a circuit that demands the utmost respect and learning, then Fascination Nordschleife should prove highly rewarding.

To summarize, the Cayman R is a purist’s dream when it comes to performance cars. Despite having the lowest horsepower of the 10 cars on this list, it laps the Nrburgring in 8:06, faster than the Ferrari 550 Maranello, the V10 powered BMW M6, and the Lamborghini Diablo SV. The R makes up for being a low powered car by weighing as close to nothing as you’ll find in a modern car. That means excellent acceleration, braking, and handling. Expanding upon their model lineup of the Elise and Exige, Lotus added the Evora as a slightly larger and more powerful sports car. Although it is bigger than the tiny Elise, the Evora has retained everything that has put Lotus on top of the wish lists of drivers worldwide. The chassis is well balanced, the steering and handling are incredibly precise, and the brakes are amazing. While the standard Evora makes do with 276 hp, the S includes a supercharger on top of the 3.5L Toyota V6, boosting power to 345 hp at 7,000 rpm. To stop all 345 of these horses, the Evora S has excellent brakes and tires. When Car and Driver tested the Evora S’s 70 0 braking distance, it landed within five feet of the best distance they had recorded 146 feet. This handling and grip of the Lotus can make average drivers look great and inspire confidence at the limit. The Evora maintains all of the downsides that are present in nearly all Lotus cars, namely the complete lack of practicality. The cabin is small and not particularly ergonomic, the footwell is very tight, and visibility is limited.

Hubby bought an older M5 through Dubizzle. It was an incredible beast to drive but it kept breaking down. He sold it on Dubizzle, got a gently used BMW from Abu Dhabi. Drove it until the service warranty was about to expire. Weirdly, it was a model that AGMC Dubai was trying to convince Emirates Airlines to add to its fleet of Skywards cars, so every now and then hubby would exchange his car for a fancy loaner car while it was borrowed by EA. Eventually hubby and I agreed to trade in both cars so he could get a second gently used one, again from AGMC Abu Dhabi.
