I really like the new Z4 after seeing it IRL and sitting in one.

I would own one if I could get an optional factory LSD. I don’t believe it has an electronic lsd, just an open 1 way, right? I could be wrong. |

It has an LSD if you get the M Sport version with the Track Package.

The high output B58 is no joke. According to C&D testing;
Zero to 60 mph: 3.8 sec Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 4.5 sec Standing ¼-mile: 12.3 sec @ 116 mph To put things into perspective even with the most aggressive launch possible a new STI can't match the m40i's 5-60 mph roll time. A 116 mph trap speed is not too shabby either. |

Soon EU will mandate "Cow catchers" device to catch pedestrians who don't know how to cross roads. Lexus has already well prepared for this facade grille.

I had recently read an article that stated "in a bid to save money" BMW was looking to move to refreshing models with a 7 year cycle instead of the current 5. All I can say is bring on bugs bunny. Eh what's up doc!

I realize MB is also doing this but I fail to see the payoff for the extra complexity of adding the generator. B58 already makes more power than most people need.

I'm pretty sure it's more of an efficiency thing, right? Companies are doing anything they can to meet these ridiculous EPA requirements.

Is she going to weigh more than a 10 year old 7 series?

If I want a HEAVY AWD vehicle with good straight line speed with an auto and nannies for $60k+/- I'll just buy a Tesla. If you're going to try to sell me an ICE equipped car, at least try to make it worth driving.

Yeah, STI's are pretty slow from rolling start. It takes like nearly 6.5-7sec due to the tall first gear you zip through it and need to shift right away which takes time. I never try to out accelerate a V6 performance car unless from a stop heading towards a merge.
So you guy see why I complain about how slow the BRZ's are because even my STI is considered the slow car that is fun to drive fast. |

I've never understood the whole rolling start thing. Like do people not torch their clutches letting them out, revving essentially like you're starting from a stand-still, and blending it the same way if you *REALLY* want to get moving while already rolling?

or brake boost in the case of a turbo car... although, a brake boost in 1st gear at 5mph would be difficult to modulate.
