Hey Im buying my first car with a budget of ca $35k
Ive narrowed my choice down to BMW 220i coupe, BMW Z3 or a smaller engined newer 3-series
because im probably ending up buying a 2015 model i cant have a big engine because of budget
so
220i (2015) vs 320i vs Z4 (2012)
>>14993355
220i if it was me.
>>14993355
trip dubs, feels good man
wondering which of these cars would be the biggest chick magnet
z4 would be 2,0 liter 186? bhp and 220i would be 180-ish too and both do 0-100kmh in 7 sec
I got job offers to work at both of these places.
Which one? Which one do I choose?

Whichever one gets the least business, that way you get paid for doing nothing

At the light of new developments in this board, have we all accepted the Punto as the superior passionate and soulful econobox?

I was very close to buy pic related but in the end I got myself a 500 abarth.

I would kill to find a Grande Punto Abarth, nowadays.
There weren't many sold, and the people who bought won't sell in the years to come.

Why is it that Italian cars are either really nice looking or horribly ugly?

I know you're having a laugh but this will just spawn shitposting so you should probably delete it. Theyre going ham right now.

>>14992464
why not? small old british cars are cheap as fuck.
>>14992464
Factory Five 818 with an N/A 2.0, light wheels, etc might be under it
>>14992464
buy an 818 or caterham kit.
there's lots of cheap options out there for under 15k
Sup /o/, I could use your help. I was driving around town and everything was running smooth, as usual. When I was headed back home my car started to kick. I was able to limp to my driveway and park it. Now it won't even idle properly. I've been told it might be a timing issue or something with my carb. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

>>14991928
Sorry to tell you this mate. You've definitely put a window in the block. Just scrap the whole engine, it's not worth fixing.
>>14991928
That's classic fuel starvation.
Why is another issue. I will say I'm not a fan of the fuel line routing but I doubt that's a primary cause.

I'm serious, why is this allowed?

Why do young Asian people like working on cheap old 90's hondas even though they are from rich families?
Pic related.. a young asian working on a cheap old integra next to the family's BMW.
>>14991817

What material do you prefer for a shift knob: leather or alcantara?
pro and cons for each?
>>14991731
Delrin.
>>14991731
I'd rather go for alcantara because IMO it looks nicer and doesn't need fifteen thousand bullshit electronic assists to make it bearable.
Leather is hot in summer, cold in winter and slippery but attracts more pussy.
Alcantara on the other hand though is probably much harder to clean if you give your girlfriend a fisher.
>>14991756
>confirmed for never having a car with Alcantara
It's shit. It's a terrible fabric that is bordering on meme status. Hard to clean, and even when clean it still looks dirty.
Question /o/
Whats is, in your opinion, the biggest meme brand and why ?
Tesla. The cars aren't bad but holy shit the fanboys.
>>14991642
This.
My brother hates driving, and has a GT Mustang.
>Dude Tesla is so awesome, the cars can now go almost 300 miles on a charge
>They are also fast as shit
Yea but the batteries are garbage
>Nah they aren't that bad and you can replace them
Nigga you didn't even buy your Mustang of course you think paying someone 20,000 USD to replace your 1200lb battery isn't a bad thing.
>>14991642
I agree with this, additionally:
>bugatti
>bentley
>modern lamborghini
>renault
WI bro here, I was driving on a curvy 2 lane down hill road earlier today and I got caught behind one of those senior citizen buses that go like 10 miles under the speed limit at all times.
So anyway I waited for a clear stretch in the road and blew by it. Apparently this upset the old cunt that was behind me because at the next stop light she jumped out of her car and probably took a picture of my license plates.
I don't know if she got a good picture because as soon as I noticed what she was doing I peeled off. Might have been too late though.
Anyway...

If all she has is a picture of your plates and her word... nah
No. Old people hate being reminded how slow they are but cops dgaf.
If there is no evidence of you doing it nothing will happen.
On top of that the vehicle was doing 10 under the limit, not sure on your laws there, but here you'd be allowed to overtake when it was safe to do so.
Trump criticizes Obama on the auto-bailout, claims they are going to move Jeep manufacturing. Chrysler executive (Ralph Gilles) says he's 'full of shit'. Jeep is now manufacturing at least 2 vehicles in China now.

>http://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/chrysler/2016/04/18/production-jeep-renegade-begins-china/83197578/
So how badly did the American tax-payer get ripped off by Obama's auto-bailout?
>>14991461
Well W started the bailout, don't really know how much Obama negotiated after he took it over, either way it's not like American politicians who were funded by big business are trusted to try and keep manufacturing jobs within the States do to being literal puppets to the profit machine
>>14991461
>So how badly did the American tax-payer get ripped off by Obama's auto-bailout?
They weren't ripped off. The alternative would be far worse.
I love Ralph Gilles. He doesn't sugar-coat anything (because Trump will eat it). Ralph Gilles is perfectly on point here.
>>14991461
Chill out anon, we're already voting for TRUMP 2016, go to a board that needs to hear and let us talk about cars.
