whats the turbo looking thing above the cab
i have seen it before in old trucks

>>17867804
I'd imagine it'd be a vacuum extraction pump of some sort to load or empty the trailer...

its a slow ass car if you kill yourself in it youre just a bad driver

>>17867335
ok then i'm sold, how much should i expect maintence to be. i've heard stories of old bmw's in pristine condition and others that burn as much motor oil as fuel. i suppose it depends on the previous owner but what can i expect from this car after 100 000 miles

>>17867330
This is a pretty perfect way to learn to be a good driver desu

It's a balanced rwd with just enough power on skinny (by modern standards) tyres.

You can learn so much more about driving from pushing something like this to 8/9 10ths than driving a modern, more powerful car but never being able to experience its limits

China hate thread?

Just for future reference, Ace Hardware stores usually have a really nice section of assorted fasteners. My local one has two entire isles dedicated to fasteners - one imperial and one metric. The one at my vacation home only has one isle, but it has everything I've ever needed.

I've taken my DD down the same trails at the same rate of speed and nothing is going out. Granted, I usually use OEM or Moog problem solver parts on my DD. The toy gets cheap parts as I don't care if it breaks in the trails.

OP here - there were 2 Aces close to my house - one closed and the other is staffed by mouth-breathers who really would not know what a flange nut was. Ace is no longer an option for me. ;(

What pisses me off is its a 16 mile round trip from my place ( I live in the sticks) to the HD. Thats a full hour out of the shop and a gallon of gas for less than $2 of hardware.

They're both ugly.

I do. The 458 will go down as a classic Ferrari, one of the all time greats.
Clean and aggressive, with subtle details like the f40 aping tri tailpipes, and the fact that all the air intakes are on the bottom

>>17867206
I like both.

Also know to be driven by idiotic villagers that got excited by a shitty diesel engine.

Now all ex golf drives are buying old 3 series BMWs because they got cheap enough.

If only the roofline looked more like that of a cls, those look so good

>>17866070
that's not a perfect car because it isn't a tiny 2 seater with a retractable roof as well as a luxury car that can seat 4 people.

that's why the perfect car doesn't exist, dipshit

You fucked up, get that shit fixed ASAP.

No

i believe bmw needs to buy saab and sell older platforms of bmws with modern drivetrains and vehicle stabilty and traction systems for 6k lower than the fatherlands equivalent model... like honda did with acura and toyota lexus but in reverse

mercedes had the perfect opportunity to with chrysler but blew it
