It looks like a cross between an Accord and a K4. Are you excited for the next 3 series?
>>28842604Don’t get excited. Both 3 series share the same platform and so even if you buy the ice version you still get the weird floor thing and the funny shape.
Are BMW designers retarded?Every single modern bmw is shittier than the previous one. They look like shit. It's impossible they don't notice it. People has to tell them all the time.Is this nihilistic doomer language design forced by soulless corporations that push the satanist agenda? Because this level of shit has to be on purpose.
>>28845211There's something worse than the BMW designers: Instagram mystery meat who say "it kinda grew on me ngl" "bro its 2026 who complains about the looks anymore"
>>28840498>It looks like a cross between an Accord and a K4. Are you excited for the next 3 series?Its not great; but it still looks way better than anything BMW is making right now.
>>28845211hood, bumper and light design is dicated by intenational commitee. that also why these features, namely recessed hood and split headlights are found on all new large bevs after 2025
Only 8500 for the perfect vehicle
>>28844048>1,200 dollar car with a faggot deisel swap is somehow 8.5k
>>28844048are those headlights dot certified?
>>28844048wow it's got me...CUMMIN
>8500 for some failed project with an industrial motor in it
I've already got a Cummins swap project I need to complete.
Was going from terrifying cars with 400 hp to boring cars with 1000 hp a downgrade?

>>28845484ABS is a good aid, lets you brake later so you will push harder and die faster.
theyre both sovlfulyou have to admit the model S pioneered these powerful EVs

>>28844865Is his criteria pouring coolant everywhere?I did not see that mentioned.
>>28845272Well, already did. I threw on an H&R rear sway bar and some Michelin PS4s. They made a noticeable difference with how fast I can take turns, but at the end of the day I just want to experience something new. Being my first car, it's all that I know (enthusiast car wise). I like cars and would like to get the whole range of what there is to experience with them. Kind of want to go through a phase of trying out a whole bunch of different cars for a few months each just to see what they're like.
I was wondering what the expected costs are to get into riding a street bike (in California)? I was expecting $3500 for a used 250-650cc bike, ~$400 in gear, and maybe $450 in DMV fees and a safety course – are these reasonable or are there things I’m missing? I’m going for under $5000 if possible. I was also wondering what the time costs would be (especially for a used bike) for maintenance. I was looking at Honda rebel 300, Kawasaki ninja 300, and Suzuki dr650 if that helps. For others that have already gone through this process, is/was it worth it to get something like a Kawasaki z125 for learning/reliability/maintenance? I plan to drive like 90% city 10% freeway. Thanks for the help, autonons
>>28843834Id spend the majority of that gear budget on a nice comfy ece/snell helmet.You can find good secondhand gear at thrift stores, goodwill even has an online site.My first bike was a BMW K100 I got for 900 and rode it for half a year before I decided I hated beating it up every time I dropped it.Second, and current, bike is a KLR I for for 1700 a lot more work needed but you can keep bike budget really low as long as you lookout and don't get a complete lemon.I highly recommend getting a bike with abs.
>>28843834Leave the state for that crapJust buy a bike and rideWhat everyone I know did including myselfStill dont have endorsement just bought a Kawasaki 900 vulcan classic lt
>>28843886You can take a 150cc on the highway. It won't be safe but neither is going 140 in a 55.
>>28843843lost
>>28843834its true because the only time ive ever had someone mention my bike was old guys outside of gas stations. i have a fjr so yeah its like old man nip but still
My friend is willing to sell me a 2009 Mitsubishi Ralliart with an automatic transmission for $700 USD. I don't know much about cars except for the fact that my 1st gen Honda Fit 5-speed is the best thing I ever bought, and I will drive that thing until either it dies, or I die. That being said, is there any real risk involved with this assuming I have the cash to blow? He says the alternator is going and that's the reason he's getting rid of it. The transmission was rebuilt like 3 years ago, and it's got something like 160k miles on it.
>>28842773 >alternator is goingThats an odd thing to claim since theyre extremely simple devices that either work or don't work.Unless its a bearing that squeals on startup. Otherwise it may be a gremlin that he has no clue what it is causing electeical issues.
>>28842773If he's your good friend then yes,it's a great car for that money even if it's got issues
>>28842773$700 is not any money, why not.Personally, I would kill myself before being seen in that fagmobile but you are clearly a homosexual so that is not an issue.
thats really gross that you have this deal put in your lap. i would give him 700 and you 300 if you were local and just mentioned that to me right now
Is HP/L just cope for displacement limited countries? Why would you want to use premium fuel just to make less power than a bigger engine using regular other than dickwaving about a spec that is useless in real world applications.
>>28844741the 13b is far lighter and can be done without and fabrication outside of the transmission tunnel if you use the FD/RX8 tranny, I said the RB26/2JZ for boost potential, which are greater than the boost potential on most LS engines, the tunes are easier, and they perform significantly better at normal speeds when swapped. The miata chassis doesn't do great with high low end torque unless you significantly stiffen all aspects of the frame and suspension.>inline 6 fits worse!but if you do the same amount of fabrication as you would for an LS you can make it a front/mid engine car because the first two cylinders wind up sitting behind the front axle and the weight distribution can still be close to 50/50, usually 55/45, whereas the LS makes the miata's weight distribution nearly 60/40 and thats if you strip out amenities like power steering/AC/Heat. The ONLY miata that does well with an LS swap is the NC because of the shape of the engine bay. And then you're still just an LS swapping faggot.
>>28844755Are you a legit retard? He implicitly mentioned the curve and how that falls off instead of being a broad, flat curve. >>28843641>Not really. It drops like crazy after an early peak. Compared to something like >>28843416 # it's not even close for good curve shape.>>2884475713b is a peaky, oil burning unreliable shit heap and the only fab work you have to do to LS swap a miata is widen the trans tunnel. You can buy a new front subframe and trans mount from multiple different companies and maintains a near 50/50 balance without cutting the firewall.
>>28844893>he thinks having the smoothest running engine design is a bad thing because muh oil muh apex seals>entire engine is 7 moving parts>can be disassembled far easier than any conventional engine>9k rev limityou're definitely a fat faggot bro
no herplacement for derplacementthe bulk and weight of the engine is also an consideration, otherwise the passenger compartment gets a bit cramped>>28839232helps to have the power spread out a bit if you dont have traction control
>>28845139Do you think it's pure coincidence nobody does rotary's?

>>28842904Now I dont like audisbut its nice to see people having old cars and mending them.What engine it has and is it a quattro?God speed audifag, hope you get it running asap.>>28845478Ahh puntoHad an 03(188) 5 door with 1,2 8V Fire BEAST as my first car.Absolutely adore that thing. Nearly maxed out it few times.When I was looking to get a second car I wanted to get an abarth. Only one i could find was hella expensive and like 4 hours away.I bought another car and within a month found one under a grand in my cityGod works in mysterious ways.
>>28845530You're a fucking dumbshit for claiming the ones on it were originals and now you "just remembered" you have the originals elsewhere and those are repops you picked up and then post some random beat to shit rims with a file name that looks like its from Tumblr.Fuck of you faggot douchebag, we"re sick of your stupid shit.
>>28845783Just a 2.2L 5 pot. Not a quattro. We've swapped the drive train on a Coupe and put in an A4 quattro gearbox, hence the wheels.>>28845847What are you actually mad about exactly? Or are you just feeling embarrassed after making a massive retard of yourself? Lel.
>>28846512>Not a quattroso an audi 80 coupe?
>>28846569Mechanically yeah its basically an 80. People call them the "sheep in wolfs clothing" because they look the same as a quattro with none of the fun lol.
