Your car. You are aware that your X3 M40i has 382hp, right? There was also a reference made by cmyx6go about her 617 ponies. Make sense now?

Perhaps I mistakenly assumed you'd take advantage of the traffic light situation you referenced.

EDIT: I just realized you have 355 ponies. My bad! Lol. I thought it had the same engine as my car.

STREET lights. It wasn't pitch black at 0600.

No, I don't keep track of the actual HP, I simply know it is WAY faster in accelerating than my truck or the Beetle

EDIT #2: I'm an idiot. I was somehow under the impression you were talking about traffic lights. Doh. NEVER MIND. Move along, nothing to see here.

By the way, I do find it hard to believe you don't know how much power your engine has. That would be the first BMW owner on the planet that wasn't aware of what's under the hood.

My (wife's) 325 had a 2.5l engine. Damn Germans, how many cubic inches is that???

My (wife's) M40 has a 4.0l engine, so it's bigger than the 325, but also a bigger vehicle.

There, can I have my BMW card back???

Lol. If you give me the horsepower and torque numbers I'll return your card. If not, you're hiding a Kia in the garage!

Is that PS or HP?

We bought a Kia Rio for my wife's sister once. I couldn't stop laughing while reading the specs on that: my motorcycle had larger displacement

I had lunch at a particular good Chinese restaurant. With a beautiful view.

I call bullshit on this one. No proper actually tasty authentic Chinese restaurant would ever pay the monthly lease rate for property that close to the water.

@cmyx6go could have 1000 ponies and it won't matter. She'll be too busy trying to figure out the electronics.

Legend has it, she's still trying to sync her phone with CarPlay.

Honestly, I don't think she cares.

What is this CarPlay you speak of? LOL. Seriously, I don't use it. Give me an analog instrument cluster, and plenty of horses.

I do enjoy the new transmission. Nice and smooth.

Now get off my lawn!

TiMSport · 03-01-2022, 03:31 PM

cmyx6go is this more your style?

Running off the lawn!

I was thinking more like this. Especially considering I learned about the record player from one of the threads here

TiMSport · 03-01-2022, 04:02 PM

Oh snap! You better get your ass off the lawn STAT!

N55forever · 03-01-2022, 07:16 PM

Got most of the engine torn down off my Honda project without any parts being lost in the bay

It's Fat Tuesday! Happy Mardi Gras💜💚💛. It was so nice to have things feel back to normal. Also, a gorgeous day for parades.

Although I did drive cars with that cluster, I'd be happy with this. Smart ass!

I have finally heard from my friend in Ukraine. She and her parents are safely across the border into Poland. They are refugees now but that is way better than being Putin's targets. Her two sons, aged 20 and 23, stayed to fight.

TiMSport Thought you'd like to know.
