We get it, BMW makes really good engines.
 
Congrats to BMW. The 35i engine is indeed a brilliant piece of engineering, more so than the 5.0L V10 IMO, which isn't great on torque compared to the AMG 6.2L V8, and also has oil guzzling problems if I remember correctly. I am very interested to see how Audi's answer to the BMW engine turns out.

The check control function can be accesses on board. Oil level is one of the checks you can do as well as many other systems that have electronic sensors that translate the condition data.
 
When things go amiss, I just bring it in....and drive a loaner away until it's fixed. No cost to me as I paid up front for the warranty and free maintenance!

RR museum by jlbl

Hi all,
 
Here I enclose the link to the web site of a small but appealing RR and other classic-car museum.
 
http://www.torreloizaga.com/
 
You may use your Spanish to translate the short picture legends. Yet the pictures are auto explanatory.
 
The museum is in Concejuelo Castle, which is located in Torre de Loizaga, which is a village a couple of dozen miles away from my home. If you wish to see more the village and landscape, you may go to 'Google maps' web site and write 'torre de loizaga, vizcaya' in the searcher. When the map pops up, you should press the 'A' blob on the left side: 'Torre de Loizaga (Concejuelo) desde el monte UBIETA-ZIPAR'. I hope you will enjoy the visit!
 
Regards,
Jose

Sure it is in my opinion. Luxury is not only in sofas.

That all depends on what you are looking for in a luxury car and what your priorities are. Is the 5 the highest performance luxury car in its class? Yes. Is it the most luxurious car in its class? No. If you value performance and handling above all else and are looking for something in the mid-lux range, the 5 is your car. If, on the other hand you're looking for a more balanced package, consider the A6, M, or XF (my favorites).

Thanks----I used some of my Spanish, but the words I know didn`t fit...I did associate fotos with photos Those cars were for an era long gone--such dignity--I keep reading about the housed being torn down even after a person has owned them for thirty years....Just what does socialism mean in Spain?? I can understand re claiming something that is recently built, and even something that is say five years old, but after thirty years seems like some sort of possession (adverse) would kick in....Strange even with a permit?
