nothing special just yet, here is the story, Im in Germany, so the plan was take out the 1986 E30 325i (M20) engine and replace with a E36 24v 325i (M50), My mech had the car for the pass 2 1/2yrs 15 of it while I was deployed, to do the job. He got the engine in, added the headers, and thats when the issues started, could not get the engine to sit right wit the headers on. they touched the frame underneath. So had him remove them and just leave on the factory exhaust, did that, then he did not feel like re-wiring the car. So tired of waiting, put back in the and give me my car back. Will try it in the states when I get back.

i guess we have a love hate relationship then, since i have both, yeah i no how it is, its actually a very big thing with Germans also, Either Mercedes or BMW owners are competitive towards each other. while AUDI doesnt have anyone to argue with, lol.

I vote that knobs drive all German cars equally, I just notice it more on BMW's .

Yesterday I saw a 40ish year old man driving an ML550 that looked like a gigolo out of a 70's **** movie. Then a beside me pulls up a white convertible 335i driven by a hot blond. We glanced at each other through our sun glasses. As her hair was blowing in the wind and the sun beating down on her golden hair, she got the advanced green and made a left at the intersection. My next car - BMW ... lol

I'm sure there are hot young blondes who do very well for themselves but I'd venture to guess that their rich husbands gave them whatever car they wanted. Good taste all around.
