stump posted:Worked over 335d? Did you get them as a touring in the states? Nope. And yeah, auto only, unfortunately. I've got a 2011 335D MSport, highway mileage is insane for something as quick as it is.

You can do it with a diesel.

Cream_Filling posted:Not a lot of 400 hp diesels that aren't giant trucks. Even BMW's new M550d, which has almost that much output at 376 hp, barely squeaks in at 30 mph highway when the euro mileage is best guess converted to a US equivalent. The 335D with a JBD Tuner set to 100% makes around 310whp/500ftlb; consider like 15% drivetrain loss (who knows, ballpark?) - 362hp. People have reported returning same mileage as stock while highway cruising, and I've personally seen as high as 37mpg across a tank doing 80ish mph. I'm not sure where you saw that the M550d barely gets 30mpg highway when official figures are quote:average fuel consumption: 6.3 litres/100 kilometres (44.8 mpg imp), BlackMK4 fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Nov 6, 2012 |

I want a wagon for 4-5k. I've been looking at A4 Avants with the 1.8t/manual/quattro or the v6 (http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/3817832587.html)... is this what I want or should I look at a Forester or Outback? Usage is a DD and sometimes pulling a small HF trailer with my Triumph 675 to a track within the surrounding 800mi. I don't really like how the Volvos look and the E39 BMWs get total poo poo gas mileage (I had one).

DropShadow posted:Skip the 2.8l engine, it's a turd. I wouldn't buy a B5 that wasn't a 1.8T A4 or a 2.7T S4, but I wouldn't use either of those motors to tow either. I'd look at the Subarus you mentioned instead. The towing isn't really an issue - it's a 375lb bike on a 250lb trailer. I figured the v6 would be slow  Mighty Horse posted:Forester and Outback don't exactly get great MPG either. Hahaha, I saw those. I'm not looking for something like that - mid 90's and newer. I figured the Forester/Outback would be mid 20's? Is that wrong? edit:http://www.fuelly.com/car/subaru/forester Ouch, allllmost as bad as my BMW was - 19mpg.

Is the Outback a lighter duty car than the Forester then? I've never really looked into Subarus much - was always a BMW/Nissan/Toyota guy.

nm posted:The 30V 2.8 is boring, but certainly the most reliable motor of the three. Yes, it leaks oil (just like the 2.7, which is virtually the same motor with turbos attached) and eats cats (note that the only cat I know of that passes CARB is the OEM and they are shockingly expensive). The long 1.8T is a massive piece of poo poo. Even if it hasn't sludged up by now, it will have a host of issues. The 2.7TT is a cool motor, but not exactly a reliable motor (beyond the internals, which is just a 2.8 anyhow) esp if you keep the K03s. Oh jesus christ, now you have met looking at mods. quote:You are looking at European spec cams only. The US spec cams are totally different. Truths: 1) All VW/Audi 30v V6 Euro gas engines (2.4, 2.7T, 2. use the same intake cams, which are native to Euro emissions. There is no such thing as "RS4 cams" in terms of exclusivity. They are merely Euro spec intake cams designed for Euro emissions testing. They have more lift than US spec units. 2) All VW/Audi 30v V6 gas engines world wide use the same exhaust cams. 3) The US spec 2.8 intake cams are not the same as Euro spec intake cams. 4) The US spec 2.8 intake cams are not the same as the US spec 2.7T intake cams. 5) Bonus: all the 30v heads use the same valves, there are no "special" valves for the RS4 heads. The exhaust valves are all sodium filled. I don't know who the heck dreamed that RS4 valve story up, but it's BS. 6) Bonus #2: all the valves in the 30v heads are really 1.8T valves.(quote) It's hard to find a cool, cheap wagon that's not a Volvo.

Hard to compare cars like that at a trackday - you could be balls-out and the car you're barely keeping up with is working on lines or something.

Larrymer posted:How do you really wash a car/anything with plastidip? The surface isn't really smooth and I feel like it would be impossible to clean very well without peeling it off. I plastidipped the wheels on my Daytona 675 white... spray simple green on them and hose 'em off, completely clean.

E34 lights are similar to E30s, and are far cheaper. May look into that if you're on a budget.
