Forbes top 15 cars to avoid... #1 = BMW 7 series
Ouch. the 7 series takes their number 1 spot.
http://ift.tt/1KXuCX0
1. BMW 7 Series
BMW’s flagship sedan seems to have lost its edge in recent years. It’s wrapped in languid styling and just doesn’t feel as sporty as it did in earlier renditions; an odd product lineup includes an expensive and not especially efficient gas-electric hybrid model. Consumer Reports takes the 7 Series to task for being “a ponderous, technology-laden vehicle with ungainly handling,” and is included in the publication’s lists of lowest-scoring cars, worst overall values and most expensive operating costs in its class. Not to pile on, but it also gets a rock-bottom resale value rating from ALG and a below average performance score from J.D. Power.

Summed up nicely by M3 Adjuster :D
Turns out that this engine almost feels like a detuned S55 than a tuned N55 (that sounds better ;) )
Thoughts?

Closed DECK It refers to the space between the cylinders on the deck surface (where the head mounts). Closed deck means the space around the cylinder is solid. This equals strength. Open deck means the space is open. This offers better cooling and lighter weight at the expense of strength. open deck engines tend to be just fine for natural aspiration, its forced induction that can get the better of the design. , the open deck design offers better cooling and this is because a)there is waterpockets very close to the combustion chamber and bore and b)the bore and cc are cooled more uniformly. high revving engines produce much more heat and this design suites them well as long as they're naturally aspirated. for extreme outputs and forced induction a closed/semi closed deck is much more reliable and durable. Forged Crankshaft Since there are probably books dedicated to this.. suffice it to say that When it comes to metals... Forged metal is stronger than Cast metal. Along with the other items reworked Turbocharger integrated into the exhaust manifold Aerodynamically tuned air intake manifold Separate oil cooler Pistons with a modified top ring It appears that the internals of this motor have been reworked for much higher durability... which of course is needed whenever you are elevating boost levels....which is of course the easiest way to make power in a turbo motor application. Well.. that and changing out turbos.. Which is probably the final piece of the puzzle that has not been released. |

Wheels Boutique – Porsche Panamera Turbo Mansory Widebody x ADV.1
Porsche purists were not too thrilled when their beloved sports car brand announced the 4-door Panamera back in 2009. The Panamera’s roots trace back to the late 80’s when Porsche created the little known 989 concept after toying with the idea of a sporty touring vehicle that seated four adults. Fast forward two decades later and that idea of providing 911 fun for you AND three friends to enjoy came to fruition with the Panamera Turbo. Not only is this Panamera fitted with a Mansory Widebody kit to give an extreme stance, but it also added ADV5.2 Track Spec SL custom forged wheels to complete the mean look. You don’t have to care if you miss calling “shotgun” in this thing…
Wheel Specs:
ADV5.2 Track Spec SL
22”x10.5” // 22”x12”
Finish: Gloss Black
Tires: Pirelli P Zero Nero

Methanol inhection
Hi guys,
I was always opposed to adding meth injection to my system because it was something Inever really looked up. I just assumed it would be a big hassle and most likely harmful to my car.
However, I did a little research and found out that if done properly it can be a great, reliable, safe mod. So now I have a few questions for those of you who are familiar
-is meth a good/bad idea for spirited street use? At first I thought it would be another thing to worry about filling all of the time, but then I read somewhere that it is not constantly used. It is usually used only in periods of higher boost. Is that correct?
-Is there a monitor system to tell you when the tank is low? I've read some guys use windshield washer tanks, and they get a low fluid light when they are low, I'd rather keep my washer fluid though.
-What size tanks do you guys use? 2L? 1gallon? Where do you store the tank? I do not have a spare tire will the tank fit in the little area next to the battery? Is that a bad idea?
-What's the deal with meth/water mixtures? More meth is more power and more water is more cooling, which allows you to run higher boost without knock?
-What is the 'whole mixing" fuel about? Is mixing e85 and pump the same goal as pump with meth injection? Raising octane? I know the power density of ethanol is lower therefore it takes more of it which can stain the stock fuel pump right? Does meth injection avoid this issue because it uses a separate pump?
Do you need a programmable tune (jb4) to run meth so you can tell it when to come on ?
If you are running higher boost it is a good idea to upgrade the charge pipe. When I do that should I gt one with a meth bung, because that is where it hooks into right?
How is this for dealer visits? Do you just unplug the hose from the cp and tae the tank out of the trunk? Is it easily traceable?
Where do you guys get the stuff? I read some people just get it at he depot. Is that stuff high quality enough to use?
Sorry if these are some noob questions, but the thought of this mod is pretty new to me
Thanks

Who's your life Insurance Provider?
So with the recent addition of my first child:), I'm looking to take out more life insurance coverage. I think it's the responsible thing to do as a parent.
I already have two policies through the company I work for. However, I was looking at Metlife ,Prudential and AIG to name a few as a third policy. Who do you guys use?

Purchase: M235i is on the truck headed west-Thank you all for helping
Looks like it's finally a done deal. I finalized a purchase for a 2014 M235i and it's on the truck headed from North Carolina to WA state/Seattle.
I've posted some pretty random questions on this forum and really appreciate all the helpful responses.
Example posts:
Should I buy a car sight unseen?
I'm considering a Chevy SS or an M235i?
I can't find a 6MT car?
How would this compare to my E46 M3??
So again, thanks to this forum I have a car in route to the west coast where I live. Cheers.
Specifics:
2014 M235i
Attached is a pic of it after loading onto the truck for shipping (taken by dealer). I'll attach more pics when it arrives. The dealer took my 2004 M3 in on trade (I was going to sell it locally). That 'saved me' $1250 in sales tax. Waiting is the hardest part. Lol!

Fabspeed Motorsport Sport Cat Downpipe Review
Although I am new to the BMW scene as far as owning one, I didn't waste any time getting some modifications done.
I had only had the car for about a week when I reached out to John B at Fabspeed Motorsport, located in Fort Washington, PA. John was extremely helpful in helping me decide which downpipe to choose and kept me well informed throughout the entire process from purchasing to installation. He assured me that my new baby was in good hands. Since this car is my daily driver, the turnaround time was crucial since I needed to get to and from work. John made sure that the car was finished in the allotted time.
While still wanting to keep my warranty on the vehicle, John and I decided that it was best to go with Fabspeed's Sport Cat Downpipe. This downpipe has been on my car for 300+ miles already and I couldn't be happier. In Sport and Sport+ modes, with the exhaust flaps all the way open, the car sounds great! It has enough sound to satisfy my racecar needs but also not too loud where it is grabbing a cops attention.
And I can't forget the most important piece of it all; the power gains. Since my car is only about 5 weeks old now, I assure you that it is 100% stock, not even a drop-in filter. When they strapped the car down on the dyno bone stock, it had an impressive even 300whp/320tq. I knew that the downpipe was going to help make a good chunk of power but I was not expecting this. From simply installing their Sport Cat downpipe, not only am I not throwing any CEL's or voiding any warranty, I was able to gain an extra 30whp and 30tq, bringing my cars capabilities to 330whp/350tq; and boy does it rip! It is a completely different car from one simple modification.
Overall, I could not be happier with my purchase from the product itself to the customer service. John B and the guys at Fabspeed Motorsports are nothing but respectful and intelligent guys with customer service that really go above and beyond. I HIGHLY recommend this shop and any of their products.

Lowest Prices on OEM Performance
Wasn't entirely sure where to put this, but wanted to give a shout out to Brian at Sun Motor Cars BMW in PA. He absolutely has the lowest price on OEM performance prices, and that is inclusive of free shipping.
I know a lot of people have ordered from him, and this isn't anything against the other commercial dealers on the forum, but I wanted to inform new members/people that haven't heard of them that they should get a quote there first. I purchased a few things from him that would have been a LOT more at the other places I got quoted. Brian will take care of you for sure.
Not sure I can put contact info here but I will just let you Google their parts dept.
No way affiliated with them, just figured I would give members the heads up in case they are looking for some OEM parts.

As we prep for winter...does anyone with an m235i have pictures of installed 17x7.5 with 40 offset? I'm interested in seeing brake clearance and how far out it pokes.
Thanks in advance!
