Fran of FranLab has been going through her film archive and digitizing and putting some of it on YouTube. This GM film from 1982 "The Gasoline Engine" explains how gas engines work has some great 80s cut away art and animation. Reminds me of watching films or video tapes in the classroom when I was a kid. Despite its age it'd be a great primer for anyone to watch to learn about how gas engines work and what the basic components are.

Some of her films are being copyright trolled and taken down, so copying it may not hurt if you think you'd watch it again.

That's awesome. I really enjoy the GM/Jam Handy and Ford videos from the 30s/40s on mechanical basics like transmissions and differentials.

Huh? The E91/92/93? Back then I was happy they went back to a more traditional styling after some of the Bangle-experiments.

I followed the tip I received that having a car in Rome as a tourist is a headache. The Roman subway worked for me, with high-speed rail (300 km/h!) to Naples for my day trip to visit Naples and Pompeii.

Funnily enough, it’s one of the most stolen car since the fca locks/immobilizer are trivial to pick/elude. One colleague is buying one and every dealer told him to get the biggest/most comprehensive insurance package he can afford on it.

My bad, I followed back through the thread but was still confused. Yeah that E35 always looked sharp, although made me want a 5 coupe instead.
