FALSE, the hybrid is SMFI (sequential multiport fuel injection) aka port injected

already overnighted the new slave from FCP and popped it in, she's good to go again....for now....
true those NA e90s are more reliable except for the cooling system....and valve cover gaskets...and oil filter housing gasket....and worn out suspension bushings....and DISA valve...and the valve...
keep driving my 97 BMW 540i 6speed, I love it but its dying a slow death and I've put too much time and money into it to sell it. Just blew the clutch slave cylinder the other day and had to tow it back home on the way to work....hoping to God it can last a few more months until the Mav gets in.
Why not just go for 0% financing and invest that money somewhere else, I mean as long as you can handle the monthly payments with the 5k she had already planned to put down. You're not seeing any returns on that 16k if you dump it all into the truck.
The only way you're gonna be able to tow with the hybrid and have water and wet bath is like others have said the roulotte pro lite, I think there is one other brand but I cant remember who they are, I think they went out of business. You should wait, right now RV quality is at an all time low...
You're right on both counts, more unstable and, more specifically tire clearance which will allow bigger rims/tires which in turn will allow for more ground clearance, but honestly it looks like the limiting factor is the wheel well, even with a lift it looks like a 70/75 sidewall is maxing out...
Wouldn't putting light pressure on the brake pedal (two foot driving) lock the wheels up better than what the computer is doing and get you through those tough uphill parts?
damn, that is such a bad sign, anything electrical is always a nightmare especially when it deals with the ECU and fault codes and the car having a stroke like that...definitely stay on top of it with pictures/video...
it most likely wont be totalled, damage doesn't look too bad, but honestly it being a new car and now having a crash history its gonna be worth a lot less, and since its gonna take so long to get parts and the poor guy is still making payments on it while its just sitting there, he should...
being dead serious here but if they do total it out (I don't think they will, but you should probably fight for that options since its brand new and a crash history will seriously devalue the car) I'd be seriously interested in those headlights if you decide to buy back and sell for parts...
