This is why i'm moving to Audi. Fucking BMWs have been nothing but pain and endless spending money.
ok
Anyone who doesn't drive an Audi by now is a misogynist and a Trump supporter. It's 2017.
I have news for you, all german cars are pain and endless spending money.
>>16830431
>t. saw a german car once
>>16830429
>implying liberals have enough money to afford an Audi.
They all drive Subarus
>mfw I daily drive a 1979 chevy with it's 35 year old 350ci engine that has 170,000 miles and runs perfect
>>16830420
>I didnt fix a failing chain tensioner for 50,000 kilometers, its BMWs fault!
>>16830468
>designing shit that fails in 50k km
BMW confirmed for shit.
Subaru doesn't require a timing belt change until 100,000 MILES.
>Driving a 4 cyl BMW
You played yourself
>>16830478
I think it's a V8 and they're only showing one side.
>>16830478
>>16830482
Pistons give it away as a diesel

>He fell for the "240°F is normal engine temperature" meme.
>>16830429
I drive a Benz so you can go fuck yourself.
>>16830477
Some 4 cylinders had issues with tensioner rails that can lead to the chain coming off. But only if it didnt get fixed in time, which is a long time.
Even a Subi will fail if you dont replace a faulty essential part for too long.
>>16830464
170k miles for an old car is supposed to be much?
i drive a 2004 bmw, currently at 380k miles, no problems or anything.
>>16830487
I wouldn't know. I've never worked with one. murrikan here. Gasoline rules everything.
you can money shift every car you dumbass
>>16830420
only a german manufacturer would think timing chain in the rear is a good idea.
>>16830420
what is this?
swirl flaps?
>>16830477
>head gasket
what is it with modern BMWs and dropped valves? happened to a friend of mine as well, and it was a 4-cylinder petrol engine.
>>16830420
>yes, Audi is much better
>>16830453
Stereotypes and memes all come from somewhere. I bet you think most black people don't like KFC and watermelon and #notallmuslims too
>>16830420
Won't help, I had the same issue with my Audi.
>>16830420
audi sucks just as much
t. audi owner
>>16831461
E46 4-cylinder motors are all garbage. Keep away. M52TU/54 are bullet-proof as long as the VANOS is fixed.
>>16830420
>German cars are expensive and difficult to service
>I'll switch to another german car
God I wish I was this fucking retarded I wouldn't have to worry about life anymore.
>>16831461
In the case of OP's pic it skipped time first and then the valve head broke off destroying that piston before they got the engine stopped.. That's why that other three pistons and the other intake valve show contact marks. Not saying BMW's don't drop valves but that wasn't the initial cause of damage in that pic.
>>16830420
That is the most pathetic cylinder head I've ever seen
>>16830477
>actually using a belt for timing
>>16830477
Most subarus are chain now bud
>>16831654
>>16830459
Why is the Forester another pigfat CSUV now
>>16832274
Aren't those pushrod engines
>>16832296
Yes. They're also infinitely more reliable and much easier to get actual power out of.
>>16831678
If you take car memes, especially luxury car memes on a weeb board full of autistic NEETs serious it's your problem, not mine.
>>16832196
>bmw in charge of good flowing heads on their turbo engines
>>16830702
FYI diesel engines have a 'cup' in the center of the piston where swirling air collects. Diesell is injected into that same area. I believe the pistons Skyactiv engines from based mazda have a similar cup
>>16830420
Is that an N20?
>>16832483
Gasoline direct injection has been a thing for many years now.
>>16830459
you mean toyota prius
>>16831654
I somehow only just noticed. What's up with the gigantic micrometer in the back?
>>16830420
You poor poor fool. You think BMW's were bad? Wait till you start shitwrecking Auto Union products.
Get an old diesel Benz if you want reliability. Actually, E36 bimmers are great so long as you maintain them.
>>16830431
Not necessarily.
Bmw is pretty god tier actually for german reliability at least shit box wise prob e46 and before. Certainly e36 and before. Have fun with that audi. Tell us about it a yr from now...pretty sure youll be singing a different tune.
>>16832296
Yes, and that's why they still run.
>>16834554
Y'know, I never noticed that before you said it, but I want to know the answer to your question, too.
>>16830420
That's what you get for driving a 4 cylinder "luxury car" No wonder your car killed it's self.
>>16831654
not all Audi's are complicated
>>16834633
>falling for the cylinder jew
I'm not paying a displacement tax to fund the government
>>16834589
When did german automakers lose their way?
>>16836406
When they stopped shit cars that were good and started making good cars that are shit
>>16832254
STI still uses a belt.
>>16834589
>>16836406
>>16836429
German cars never had a way to lose. The design for the Beetle was stolen from Tatra. Tatra actually took Volkswagen to court over this after WW2.
And won.
