Replying to: markcincinnati (Jun 14, 2008 7:25 am) Welcome back, Mark. We've (or at least I've) missed you.   Let us know on this or some other board what's been going on, if you're that way inclined.   Going from the longest-post maven to missing-in-action is a jolt to some of us.   Either way, hope you enjoy your new A4. The A3 turned out to be my runner-up to the car I finally ended up with this time, the Acura TSX. I appear to have recovered from my RWD disease.   Good to hear from you.

#11046 of 11073 MB Turbos Coming Soon by circlew Jun 17, 2008 (4:51 am)
With rival BMW warming up to the idea of turbocharging in a big way, Mercedes-Benz is poised to embrace the technology across its entire line. “We will go turbocharging across the board on gasoline engines,” R&D boss Dr. Thomas Weber told Leftlane in an interview last week. “Even the next A-Class generation will get a turbo engine.” But that’s not all — we questioned Weber on a variety of issues, and got some very interesting responses.   The C will need new chassis pieces to handle this!   Here is the link for more.   link title   Regards, OW

BMW is about to get trumped...   With as much horsepower as the coupe and 200 less pounds to carry around, a G37 sedan could make a compelling case for itself, especially against it's quicker main rival, the BMW 335i. Bonus's would be, quicker throttle response, smoother operation, and better fuel economy as well with the VVEL system.   Is Infinity loosing weight first???   All without Turbos???   Let's talk!   Regards, OW

#11052 of 11073 3 series Coupe by feroz Aug 05, 2008 (5:03 pm)
I recently drove some of this cars and was very well impressed. I don´t know the series well so I have a few questions:   1). On 2000- 2004 models are there regular standard shifts in all models years?   2). On the secuential shift, can it also operate as automatic or dose it always have to work as semi auto? If so how dose BMW expect a valet parking to take the car? the shifter takes time and knowledge to be driven well.   3). On what model year did BMW introduce the secuantial shifter for 3 series coupes?   4). What dose the "sport" button do on the 2003 secuential shifter 330 coupe?   5). If this transmission (secuential) reliable? Is it delicate.   6). On all BMWs are the F1 series faster than the same engine on luxury trim? Are the F1 engines different?   Thanks!
#11053 of 11073 nice...4 cylinder BMWs coming again? by blueguydotcom Sep 03, 2008 (7:40 am)
Maybe the 1 with a turbo 4 cylinder will come to the US and A? If VW's turbo 4 can make nearly 300 hp, there's no reason BMW can't follow suit. RWD, lighter nose...hope, hope...
