Surely these BMW stripes must have a name. They seem synonymous with the M cars and M packages. Is there some kind of history with those colors and their use on BMWs? It seems like you can find those on BMWs going back decades.

>What do you call these BMW stripes?
Ugly.
To answer your question seriously, there's no colloquial name other than the generic racing stripe label.
>>16163858
It's the colors they chose to represent their M division. I believe it started on the 3.0csl race car
The light blue represents Bavaria, the red Texaco. The indigo is a union between BMW and Texaco for racing.
The stripes have changed over the years, the current form is in reverence of the 3.0 CSL as stated above.
sup guys so I just hit ~1800 miles on my 2017 sti so i decided to finally get on it a little on some back roads. Nothing crazy i never redlined but i didint drive it like a bitch either. The issue and my question is why did it smell so weird afterwards? I noticed a little stink in the car about 10 minutes in and then after getting out i did a walk around real quick. Honestly smelt like a tuna sandwich with some coins mixed in. Is this normal or what
Clean your vagina.
>>16163853
i really hadn't even thought of that wow lol seems so obvious now
Could be your brake pads maybe or the oil in your gearboxes? Maybe it's the smell of burned rubber from your tires.
You know what they say BMW stands for, doncha?

Should have shot them.
Thieves are the lowest members of society, and they're not only disposable, they're a plague.
Anyone over 14 stealing is probably an addict.

>>16163082
do you happen to have information on the center of gravity of the Dodge charger '68-'70
or at least the weight distribution per tire?
everything else
Newer is better on paperand stats, but nothing beats the feel of classic muscle.
