Default Almost sold my soul to the devil.......

The other day I drove by a BMW dealer ship and saw the new M3, and with 330 HP I was drooling. BMW is now worse that Audi, the dealer told me if you over rev the engine, you void the warranty. Also the redline is adaptive based on engine warmth, meaning if is colder the redline is much lower and if you exceed the lower redline you will void the warranty. The engine computer tracks all this info.

Do we know for sure the computers in our Audis don't tell the same tales on us?

Default That's odd

A buddy of mine the the G.M. of the BMW store
in White Plains, N.Y., and didn't mention that to me. He drove their demo for a few days and I got a little seat time. The car is obscene its so quick. It's a little wide in the haunches, steering not as lightning quick as old....but I mean come on $50K is used Porsche 996 money.

Default Corrado's!

Aw...seeing your graphic made me miss my '93 silver SLC I sold to buy my silver '01 225 coupe.
The Corrado was a great little car. I even had a '91 G-60.
Memories of understeer dancing in my head
